AURA 1

Compact speaker

The new AURA series continues the Wharfedale tradition of offering exceptional performance and value for money with a range of speakers that provide the home listener and dedicated audiophile a combination of monitor-class audio transparency and 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.

AURA is the latest innovation in the family of class-leading Wharfedale speakers. Taking inspiration from the flagship ELYSIAN series through fit, finish and technological derivatives, AURA is another boundary-breaking model that challenges the norms of value while delivering all the detail, energy and thrill of your music collection with a class-leading performance but with a class-defying price tag.
