Estelon has launched AURA, a new loudspeaker model, following the company's general design philosophy but taking into consideration the environmental acoustics of real-life listening spaces.
Its distinctive shape is a standout feature of AURA, which not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also serves a functional purpose, with its advanced surface geometry resulting in characteristics that allow for a three-dimensional soundscape. The lack of parallel walls allows only pure and uninfluenced sound to emanate from the high-performance drivers.
AURA features a 1” Scan-Speak ‘Illuminator’ Textile Dome tweeter that has a symmetrical drive motor for high-performance sound quality and linearity, regardless of the music being reproduced at high or low volume levels. The tweeter excels at speed and high resolution.
Working with the tweeter waveguide, the soft curves of the cabinet eliminates the negative reflective impacts from the driver output, creating a wide directivity of sound. The tweeter waveguide has an elliptical shape and is fine-tuned to match the specific tweeter by Scan-Speak. The sound dispersion is more uniform and, when paired with the mid-woofer drivers, the sound is pure and uninfluenced.
The 5” mid-woofer by Satori is using a proprietary Egyptian Papyrus Cone to achieve transparency and effortless delivery of the sound. The vented aerodynamic cast aluminium chassis provides optimum strength and low compression. The driver features a soft, low-dampening rubber surround for the ideal transient response, and its neodymium motor system is optimised for low distortion.
AURA’s unique and innovative design allows for the incorporation of a 10” woofer in the base of the loudspeaker (down-firing) for a rich and smooth bass reproduction. The 10” Faital woofer provides deep bass and features a semi-pressed paper cone that provides clean and tight low frequencies.
The curved bass plate enables the bottom firing woofer to acoustically couple with the floor. The isolation feet are positioned in its corners at appropriate distance to provide the necessary stability. The base-plate’s design and driver elevation from the floor allows the bass to propagate properly the provided opening, even when the speaker is placed on a thick carpet.
