Wharfedale Aura 1 Bookshelf Speakers

AURA 1. LIGHT ON SIZE. BIG ON SOUND

This 2-way standmount loudspeaker includes a massive 27 x 90mm AMT high frequency transducer and a 5” (130mm) glass fibre matrix mid/bass driver. At just 386 x 246 x 300mm, Aura 1 is ideal for those small-to-medium listening or living rooms.

THE QUINTESSENTIAL CLOSE-LISTENING STANDMOUNTER

Luxury listening experiences are no longer reserved for the fattest wallets. Aura piggybacks off the R&D efforts of Wharfedale’s flagship Elysian series to deliver outstanding sound for each dollar you put down. And Aura 1 is an audiophile’s quintessential close-listening standmound loudspeaker, giving you an unrivalled, intimate listening experience.

UNEARTH THE REALISM OF MUSIC & MOVIES

Air Motion Transformers are vastly superior to conventional high-frequency drivers. Cleaner, clearer and more accurate, AMTs unearth the subtle nuances buried beneath the limitations of traditional dome designs. Nuances that serve to create a sense of unparalleled realism from your listening experience.

AFFORDABLE FIRST-GRADE LISTENING

The genesis of Aura’s advanced technology is founded in the elite ELYSIAN research project, a multi-year R&D undertaking that produced Wharfedale’s flagship range. By incorporating Elysian’s top shelf technologies, Aura can deliver you a first-grade audiophile experience at a remarkably affordable price.

THE HIGH END IS HIGHLY ENGAGING

High-flexibility rubber surrounds, high-flux magnetic fields, and die-cast aluminium chassis mounted with rigid high tensile bolts. Aura’s driver systems are intricate engineering marvels with one aim: whatever your choice of entertainment, you are always highly engaged.

CROSS OVER TO THE LIGHT

With over 90 years of crossover design experience, the highest grade components, and a world-leading crossover architect (Peter Comeau) at the helm, Aura is finely-tuned over hundreds of hours of listening tests to ensure that each driver fires in perfect harmony.

BASS REFLEX-IBILITY

Speaker placement is a breeze thanks to Aura’s intelligent Slot Loaded Profiled Port (SLPP), a bass reflex design that distributes the internal cabinet pressure through discrete ports in the plinth. Aura now sounds superb wherever you put it, giving you greater flexibility.

THE ART OF AURA CABINETS

A multi-layer construction of differing woods, designed to reduce panel resonances below audibility, is wrapped around stunning curves to reduce unwanted waveform reflections both inside and out of Aura’s cabinets. They’re an engineering work of art that also look like art in your home.

STAND TO ATTENTION

Optional, custom engineered stands made from the finest materials, and finished in exquisite dark chrome trims, match the exemplary fit and finish of Aura 1 and 2 standmount models. So it won’t just be the audio quality from your system that stands out.
