Mounted on die-cast aluminum chassis, the low-distortion motor systems provide rigidity and precise transient response for exceptional audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAURA Crossover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crossover is the heart of every loudspeaker, and Wharfedale's AURA series features a meticulously designed crossover that ensures seamless integration between drive units. By accurately dividing the frequency band and matching the acoustic performance of each driver, the AURA loudspeakers achieve a blend that is acoustically seamless. The crossovers are tested and evaluated for their acoustic transparency, and the bass and midrange\/treble crossovers are laid out on separate PCBs to minimize electromagnetic interference. With hundreds of hours of fine-tuning using both advanced analysis and careful listening, the AURA speakers deliver a stunningly realistic musical experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-layer Lacquered Cabinet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AURA cabinets are not only a work of art but also engineered to optimize sound quality. Crafted with multiple layers of different woods, these cabinets reduce panel resonance below audibility, ensuring a clean audio output. The smooth curves of the cabinet help disperse sound without undesirable reflections, enhancing the overall listening experience. Available in Black, White, and Walnut real wood veneer, the AURA cabinets are beautifully lacquered and polished to add a touch of elegance to any room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSLPP Reflex Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWharfedale's SLPP (Slot Loaded Profiled Port) bass reflex design, originating from a concept by Gilbert Briggs, provides enhanced bass performance in the AURA loudspeakers. The downward-facing port directs high-pressure, high-velocity airflow through a series of slot ports in the plinth, matching it more efficiently with the low air pressure in the room. This design reduces turbulence and improves the bass reflex system's overall efficiency. Combined with the low resonance of the bass units, the SLPP system delivers powerful and articulate bass extension down to the 30Hz region, faithfully reproducing the true acoustic power of musical performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeneral Description:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-way Floorstanding speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnclosure Type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass reflex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransducer Complement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-way\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass Driver:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5\" (150mm) Black Glass Fibre Matrix Cone (x2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMidrange Driver:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\" (100mm) Black Glass Fibre Matrix Cone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreble Driver:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27*90mm AMT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAV Shield:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity (2.83V @ 1M):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30-200W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak SPL:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e107dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Impedance:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4Ω (8Ω Compatible)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Impedance:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.1Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response (+\/-3dB):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37Hz ~ 22kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass Extension (-6dB):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Frequency:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e475Hz, 3.3kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (HxWxD):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.58\" H x 11.22\" W x 14.173\" D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54.013 lbs each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\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\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"audiolab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47564519080107,"sku":null,"price":84990.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2260\/7169\/files\/Untitled_8fbdd713-83aa-4bc4-9262-c6f32ef25a6c.png?v=1785926169","url":"https:\/\/kuroonline.co.za\/products\/audiolab-9000a-integrated-amplifier-black-wharfedale-aura-4-floorstanding-speakers-pair-black","provider":"KURO online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
