  • Page 5 Designer’s Notes AURA continues the Wharfedale tradition of offering exceptional performance and value for money with a range of speakers that offer the home listener and dedicated audiophile a combination of monitor-class audio transparency together with class-leading levels of musical enjoyment. Borrowing heavily from the advanced technology of the elite Elysian research project, AURA features the Wharfedale AMT high-frequency transducer, glass fibre matrix midrange and bass cones, the SLPP port system and multi-layer cabinets.
  • Page 6 Designer's Notes The AMT diaphragm is also operating over a large area, for advanced efficiency, and is able to generate transient acoustic power quite easily. Wharfedale’s design team have improved the AMT unit in AURA loudspeakers to extend the response to 36kHz (-6dB) allowing a smooth and linear response to 22kHz (+-3dB).
  • Page 7 Designer's Notes Multi-layer AURA cabinets are, in many ways, a work of art. Available in Black, White and a feature lacquered grained Walnut real wood veneer, each cabinet is lacquered and polished to present a beautiful cabinet piece of furniture you will be proud to have in your home.
  • Page 8 Designer's Notes In conjunction with the low resonance of the bass units, the SLPP system provides bass extension to well down into and below the 30Hz region for AURA 2, 3 and 4, revealing the fundamentals of most musical instruments with excellent articulation, clarity and power.
  • Page 9 Designer's Notes In 1979, Peter Comeau co-founded Heybrook Hi-Fi to design and manufacture the multi-award-winning HB1 and classic HB2 loudspeakers. In 2009, after leading IAG speaker development since the acquisition of Mission, Peter assumed overall acoustic design responsibility for all of the brands within the Group, including Wharfedale.
