Description

ELYSIAN Center brings a new dimension to the ELYSIAN series performance, tuning the application for mind-blowing home theater settings. 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.

A proven concept in the form of the award-winning ELYSIAN 4 and ELYSIAN 2 models, the ELYSIAN Center 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 three-way configuration, ELYSIAN Center is also fitted with a custom, glass fiber matrix cone bass units. Terminated with a highly flexible rubber surround and driven by a specially developed low-distortion motor system, the 220mm (8.5") bass units are capable of reaching down below 27Hz. The result is impact and bass excitement that offer a totally immersive theater experience.

As found in the ELYSIAN 2 and 4 models, the ELYSIAN Center utilities a proprietary woven glass fiber matrix mid-range. This structure provides a superb combination of low mass and high strength, with the addition of a high-plasticity coating to control its acoustic behavior. With such a low-mass cone, only a low-damping, foamed, rubber-like material would match for the surround – again, coated for durability. A linearized output across a wide bandwidth, even off-axis, enhances a natural response to the music that can be heard anywhere the listener wishes to sit.

Further tuned for purpose, this combination of drivers brings a new level of vocal tangibility and soundstage presentation. The musical timing, spacious presentation and precision in delivery, means that ELYSIAN Center is nothing short of jaw-dropping in terms of realism in audio / visual applications. Soundtracks come to life and cinematic scenes explode with energy!

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.

The Wharfedale ELYSIAN C Speaker Stand is purpose designed to be the perfect mounting platform for the ELYSIAN C, center channel loudspeaker.

Standing at the height of 496mm and laser cut from high carbon stainless steel, the Wharfedale ELYSIAN C Speaker Stand is engineered to new levels of precision for the perfect soundstage presentation.

The ELYSIAN C is solid in stature with considered engineering to reduce vibrations and resonance of the speaker's cabinet, by effectively isolating the speaker from the floor and surroundings. The ELYSIAN C, center channel will deliver lifelike vocal reproduction and immersive, impactful, full-frequency projections thanks to the precise angle at which the ELYSIAN C, center channel rests on the stand.

Each ELYSIAN C 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 – the perfect match for the ELYSIAN C, center channel loudspeaker.
