It is, therefore, not constrained by the mass of its diaphragm, with the attendant blurring of transient response. Instead, the diaphragm is folded and carries conductive elements immersed in an immensely strong magnetic field. Not only is this an efficient way of moving air, but it is also highly accurate as the diaphragm is under close control of the motor system at all times. The result is a wide bandwidth transducer that achieves extremely low distortion and extraordinary musical detail, with scintillating speed and dynamic ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_row element-row row vc_custom_1684146970402 vc_row-has-fill vc_row-o-content-middle vc_row-flex highend_vc_custom_1684146970402\" data-vc-stretch-content=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-init=\"true\" data-vc-full-width=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  vc_custom_1684155114733\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eAURA Cones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"title\"\u003eAs Wharfedale engineers found when designing the flagship ELYSIAN series, the transient accuracy and efficiency of the AMT need to be matched by the midrange and bass drivers for a seamless audio performance. Accordingly, AURA also uses a proprietary woven glass fibre matrix diaphragm for the midrange and bass cones terminated by high-flexibility rubber surrounds. The voice coils driving the cones are immersed in high flux magnetic fields, with eddy currents and inductance controlled by copper-clad pole pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"title\"\u003eThese low-distortion motor systems are mounted on die-cast aluminium chassis, each fixed to the cabinet by six high-tensile bolts to maintain the rigidity of the structure and provide an accurate transient response.

In the AURA series, the high-pressure, high-velocity airflow from a downward-facing port is better matched to the low air pressure in the room by distributing the airflow through a series of slot ports in the plinth. This porting reduces unwanted turbulence from the port and improves the efficiency of the bass reflex system – another now design staple of the Wharfedale brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_row element-row row vc_custom_1676904691269 vc_row-has-fill vc_row-o-content-middle vc_row-flex highend_vc_custom_1676904691269\" data-vc-stretch-content=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-init=\"true\" data-vc-full-width=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left  vc_custom_1684156479693\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  vc_custom_1684158001807\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eAURA Crossover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"title\"\u003eThe crossover is at the heart of every loudspeaker, weaving the overall performance into a ‘sum-of-all-parts’.
