Speaker stands WHARFEDALE Elysian 2 Stands

The Wharfedale ELYSIAN 2 Speaker Stands are specially designed for the new flagship loudspeaker ELYSIAN 2. Standing at the height of 428mm, the Wharfedale ELYSIAN 2 Speaker Stands’ metalwork is laser cut from high carbon stainless steel. All stands feature carpet piercing spikes which are made of hardened high carbon steel.

ELYSIAN is truly an audio engineering work of art.

]]>

This precision design means the stand is sold in stature and the stability is optimised. This considered engineering reduces vibrations and resonance of the speaker’s cabinet by effectively isolating the speaker from the floor and surroundings. The ensured result is a massively improved loudspeaker performance.

Each ELYSIAN 2 Speaker Stand has been designed to complement the natural, wide bandwidth Wharfedale performance; as well as providing a piece of furniture of which the owner can be justly proud. As with the speaker cabinet, the base plate is handcrafted with true piano finish lacquers, and further hand polished to six levels of depth, to give a truly beautiful finish.

With a choice of polished black, white, walnut finishes to match your speakers, the Wharfedale ELYSIAN 2 Speaker Stands complement any room, aesthetically and acoustically.

Underneath the veneer, working unseen, is a sandwich of different woods designed to reduce panel resonance to below audibility. This multi-layer construction, PROS (Panel Resonance Optimization System), has a further benefit – it inhibits the leakage of unwanted sound energy from inside the cabinet which would otherwise interfere with the forward output of the drive units.

Centrálny reproduktor WHARFEDALE Elysian C

Centrálny reproduktor Elysian C prináša nový rozmer do referenčnej série od Wharfedale, čím rozširuje použitie tejto série ako ohromujúce domáce kino. Každý komponent je skonštruovaný podľa najvyššieho štandardu. Meniče, výhybky, kabinet – každý aspekt bol vyvinutý v harmónii a bez ohľadu na náklady, aby tento projekt posunul hranicu možného výkonu. Tento dôkladný a nekompromisný prístup viedol inžinierov Wharfedale k vytvoreniu štandardu v cenovo dostupných luxusných reproduktoroch na audiofilskej úrovni. Špičkový dizajn a špičková technológia sú skombinované tak, aby poskytovali hudobnú reprodukciu, ktorá bude hrdo konkurovať tým najlepším reproduktorom na svete. ELYSIAN je skutočne umelecké dielo audio inžinierstva. ]]>

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.

Podobne ako v modeloch ELYSIAN 2 a 4, ELYSIAN Center využíva pre reprodukciu stredov patentovanú matricu z tkaných sklenených vlákien. Táto štruktúra poskytuje vynikajúcu kombináciu nízkej hmotnosti a vysokej pevnosti s pridaním vysokoplastického povlaku na kontrolu jeho akustického správania. S takouto membránou s nízkou hmotnosťou sa na okraj hodí  nízko tlmiaci penový materiál podobný gume – opäť potiahnutý špecialnou vrstvou kvôli zlepšeniu odolnosti. Linearizovaný výstup naprieč celou šírkou pásma, dokonca aj mimo osi, zvyšuje prirodzenú odozvu na hudbu, ktorú možno počuť
kdekoľvek si chce poslucháč sadnúť.

Táto kombinácia meničov, ktorá je dodatočne vyladená, prináša novú úroveň hmatateľnosti vokálov a prezentácie zvukovej scény. Hudobné načasovanie, priestranná prezentácia a precíznosť v podaní robí z reproduktoru ELYSIAN Center extrémne dôležitý doplnok k audio zážitku z hudby no najmä z domáceho kina. Soundtracky ožívajú a filmové scény priam explodujú energiou!

Cabinet

Wharfedale chcel pre rad ELYSIAN  vytvoriť kabinet, ktorý zlepší akustický výkon meničov a zároveň poslúži ako kus nábytku, na ktorý môže byť majiteľ právom hrdý. Ručne vyrábané exotické dyhy odzrkadľujú klavírne laky, ručne leštené do šiestich úrovní hĺbky, aby poskytli skutočne krásny povrch.

Pod dyhou, sú navrstvené rôzne dreviny, navrhnuté tak, aby znížil rezonanciu kabinetu reproduktoru pod úroveň počuteľnosti. Táto viacvrstvová konštrukcia PROS (Panel Resonance Optimization System) má ďalšiu výhodu – bráni úniku nežiaducej zvukovej energie zvnútra skrine, ktorá by inak rušila výstup jednotlivých reproduktorov.

WHARFEDALE Elysian 1 bookshelf speakers

ELYSIAN 1 is the latest addition to the flagship loudspeaker series from Wharfedale, pushing the boundaries of capability and performance. A genuine example of luxury audio, ELYSIAN offers indulgence in design, materials, aesthetics and performance, now in a more compact standmount format. Each component part is engineered to the very highest standard. The drivers, the crossover, the cabinet every aspect has been developed in harmony and without cost constraint to push the project to its performance limit. This thorough and no-compromise approach has led the Wharfedale engineers to create a benchmark in affordable, audiophile-grade luxury loudspeakers. Cutting-edge design and class-leading technology are combined to deliver musical reproduction that will proudly challenge the world’s finest loudspeakers.

ELYSIAN is truly an audio engineering work of art.

]]>

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 performance of ELYSIAN 1 is enhanced with an advanced version of Wharfedale’s signature slot-loaded port. Christened SLPP (Slot-Loaded Profiled Port), it ensures that the rear output of the bass units is not wasted. Instead, the lowest frequency energy is vented to a slot at the base of the speaker, specially profiled to equalise the high internal pressure to the low pressure in the room. This reduces the distortion that is typical of bass reflex systems and increases the port’s efficiency. In addition, because the air is dispersed uniformly in the room, the speakers are less fussy about placement.

In combination, the bass units and SLPP bass reflex system provide the massive foundation upon which the rest of the musical performance sits, letting you feel as well as hear the full impact of thunderous low-frequency information. High overall system sensitivity allows any amplifier to reveal the full dynamic range of the music fed to it, without strain or limitation.

The drivers’ output is combined via a sophisticated crossover network, fine-tuned over hundreds of hours of listening tests to ensure a seamless blend between the drive units.

Of particular note is the phase consistency across the driver output, permitting a wide range of seating positions and encouraging the power response to be highly linear throughout the listening room. Only the highest grade, acoustically transparent components are used throughout the crossover network, ensuring all the musical detail is heard with nothing held back.

Beautifully finished, the ELYSIAN speaker cabinets are designed to enhance the acoustic output of the drivers and provide a piece of furniture of which the owner can be justly proud. Handcrafted veneers are enhanced by true piano finish lacquers, hand-polished to six levels of depth. This exquisite touch offers a truly standout aesthetic, unmatched at this price-point.

ELYSIAN 1 is truly another audio engineering work of art. The degree of natural transparency will leave you breathless and questioning, how is this possible in this price-class?

Cabinet

For ELYSIAN we wanted to create a cabinet that enhanced the acoustic output of the drivers as well as providing a piece of furniture of which the owner can be justly proud. Hand crafted, exotic veneers are mirrored by true piano finish lacquers, hand polished to six levels of depth to give a truly beautiful finish.

Underneath the veneer, working unseen, is a sandwich of different woods designed to reduce panel resonance to below audibility. This multi-layer construction, PROS (Panel Resonance Optimization System), has a further benefit – it inhibits the leakage of unwanted sound energy from inside the cabinet which would otherwise interfere with the forward output of the drive units.

Treble driver

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.

Midrange

In the spirit of Gilbert Briggs, who was well known for experimenting with new driver materials, Wharfedale investigated a range of options to match the sensitivity and accuracy of the AMT treble unit.

The designers settled on a proprietary woven glass fibre matrix, formed into a 150mm cone. This provides a superb combination of low mass and high strength, with the addition of a high-plasticity coating to control its acoustic behaviour. With such a low-mass cone, only a low-damping, foamed, rubber-like material would match the surround – again, coated for durability.

Drive energy for the cone comes from a 25mm, 2-layer voice coil centred in a magnetic gap fitted with an aluminium ring to control eddy currents, linearise inductance and so increase bandwidth and reduce distortion. The whole assembly is fitted to a die-cast aluminium basket with large ventilation windows below the spider to improve transient response.

A central phase plug is specially shaped to linearise the output across a wide bandwidth, even off-axis, enhancing a natural response to the music which can be heard anywhere the listener wishes to sit.

This midrange driver enables the ELYSIAN speakers to deliver voices and instruments with astonishing realism. Vocalists seem to be present in the room with the listener – simply close your eyes and listen to the palpable presence of singers in the acoustic space.

Bass

The midrange unit is matched with a glass fibre matrix cone for the bass unit, in this case, terminated with a highly flexible rubber surround and driven by a specially developed low-distortion motor system. Mounted on a die-cast aluminium chassis, the magnet system features an aluminium ring for eddy current control, immersing the 17.5mm long, 38mm diameter voice coil in high flux over 12mm of linear excursion.

In order to plumb the depths of the lowest frequencies in recorded music, the 220mm bass units – one in the ELYSIAN 2, two in the ELYSIAN 4 are capable of reaching down below 28Hz in-room, revealing the full body and impact of percussion, stringed and wind instruments.

Cabinet

For ELYSIAN we wanted to create a cabinet that enhanced the acoustic output of the drivers as well as providing a piece of furniture of which the owner can be justly proud. Hand crafted, exotic veneers are mirrored by true piano finish lacquers, hand polished to six levels of depth to give a truly beautiful finish.

Underneath the veneer, working unseen, is a sandwich of different woods designed to reduce panel resonance to below audibility. This multi-layer construction, PROS (Panel Resonance Optimization System), has a further benefit – it inhibits the leakage of unwanted sound energy from inside the cabinet which would otherwise interfere with the forward output of the drive units.
