Osvedčený koncept v podobe oceňovaných modelov ELYSIAN 4 a ELYSIAN 2, ELYSIAN Center pokračuje so špeciálne navrhnutým HF driverom AMT; radikálne odlišný spôsob pohybu vzduchu, využívajúci veľkú, plisovanú, ľahkú membránu poháňanú po jej povrchu radmi strategicky umiestnených kovových pásikov ponorených do silného magnetického poľa. Záhyby v membráne sa sťahujú a rozširujú pod vplyvom hudobného pohonu, pričom medzi sebou stláčajú vzduch, aby vytvorili požadovaný tvar zvukovej vlny. S ultraľahkým materiálom membrány nazývaným „PET“ a akusticky tlmenou zadnou komorou ELYSIAN AMT vyniká oproti porovnateľným vysokofrekvenčným jednotkám tým, že poskytuje ešte očarujúcejšie čisté a sladšie rozšírené vysoké frekvencie.

ELYSIAN Center, ktorý pracuje v trojpásmovej konfigurácii, je tiež vybavený špeciálnymi basovými jednotkami s matricou zo sklenených vlákien. 220 mm (8,5”) basové jednotky, zakončené vysoko flexibilným gumeným rámom a poháňané špeciálne vyvinutým systémom motora s nízkym skreslením, dosiahnu frekvenciu pod 27 Hz. Výsledkom je pôsobivé basové vzrušenie, ktoré ponúka úplne pohlcujúci divadelný zážitok.

A proven concept in the form of the award winning ELYSIAN 4 and ELYSIAN 2 models, the ELYSIAN 1 continues with the specially engineered AMT HF driver; a radically different way of moving air, using a large, pleated, lightweight diaphragm driven across its surface by rows of strategically placed metallic strips immersed in a strong magnetic field. The pleats in the diaphragm contract and expand under the influence of the musical drive, squeezing the air between them to form the desired waveform. Featuring an ultra-lightweight diaphragm material called ‘PET‘ and an acoustically damped rear chamber, the ELYSIAN AMT stands out against comparable high-frequency units by delivering even more spellbindingly clear and sweetly extended high frequencies.

Operating in a two-way configuration, ELYSIAN 1 is also fitted with a custom, glass fibre matrix cone bass unit. Terminated with a highly flexible rubber surround and driven by a specially developed low-distortion motor system, the 180mm (7”) bass units are capable of reaching down below 49Hz, revealing the full body and impact of percussion, stringed and wind instruments with detail and depth that other standmount speaker options just cannot reach.

The AMT (Air Motion Transformer)

is a radically different way of moving air. A large, pleated, lightweight diaphragm is driven across its surface by rows of strategically placed metallic strips immersed in a strong magnetic field. Under the influence of the musical drive the pleats in the diaphragm contract and expand, squeezing the air between them to form the desired waveform.

Not only is this an efficient way of moving air but it is also very accurate as the diaphragm is under close control of the motor system at all times. In addition, the AMT is a velocity, rather than pressure, transducer, capable of producing scintillatingly fast transients and dynamics. The result is a wide bandwidth device that achieves low distortion naturally and delivers wonderful musical detail.

Retro style, timeless musicality

The original Linton incarnations of the 1960s and 1970s were well known for their rich and natural sound quality; the new model retains these attributes but upgrades the performance in every department. Its bass is deep and well-defined, its midrange clear and open, with free-breathing dynamics and an expansive scale that brings music to life. It is a sound you can dive into and lose yourself in, as you listen to album after album; a nostalgic nod to the past elevated to a level fit for the future

Retro style, timeless musicality

The Linton makes use of its wide baffle by incorporating a large (by modern standards) bass driver with a 200mm Kevlar cone, mounted on a rigid, die-cast chassis. Above this sits a 135mm midrange driver, also sporting a woven Kevlar cone and housed within its own internal enclosure. Finally, a 25mm fabric-dome tweeter with a high-flux ferrite magnet handles high frequencies.

Classic bookshelf tradition

Denton 85th Anniversary is a two-way speaker in the classic bookshelf tradition, beautifully hand veneered in Mahogany by Wharfedale cabinet makers with an inset front baffle and traditional Tungsten cloth grille.

Underneath the traditional exterior, however, the Denton 85th Anniversary is bang up to date and utilises a mixture of traditional and advanced technology. The bass unit features Wharfedale’s innovative woven Kevlar cone mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis, this combination delivers a rich, detailed bass/midrange output with superb dynamic performance. High frequencies are handled by a woven textile soft-dome treble unit with high flux ferrite magnet, engineered for smooth, detailed HF extension.

Beauty with purpose

The EVO4 cabinet is purpose-designed from the ground-up. Not just the sleek curves, which stand out from the competition, but the materials, composites, internal bracing and damping too, for instance. All of this ensures the sonic character is not compromised by aesthetic. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Evolution by design

Taking strong elements from the Flagship ELYSIAN series, EVO4 has groundbreaking research and design embedded in its DNA. A long history of class-leading speaker concepts coupled with new technological breakthroughs means this is genuinely an evolution of affordable Hi-Fi.
