英國 ifi Aurora 一體式音響系統


Aurora的心臟是ifi 獨家名為“ PureEmotion”的放大器技術-膽石混合電路設計. 其中前級部份採用 1 枚6N3P/5670放大（可透過OLED顯示旁邊的窗口看見）。訊號從Aurora的解碼部份經過ESS Technology著名的 32bit Sabre DAC, 便開始進入放大線路，PureEmotion 使聲音變得純淨，開揚而富立體感,及自然流暢的聲音。

Aurora具備HD音質，支持高達32位/ 192kHz的數據，而無需通過WiFi，USB或LAN 線接駁進行轉換或取樣。Aurora最新的藍牙編解碼器是支持，包括aptX HD，LDAC和LDHC以及AAC。通過按鈕WPS設置，連接到Wi-Fi網絡簡單易用, 比同類產品優勝. 通過Linkplay的MUZO Player應用-或任何UPnP / DLNA流媒體應用程序–亦可用於配置系統和控制音樂。 用時亦支援AirPlay和Spotify Connect.

Aurora的主體由竹做成, 不僅是基於其美學，而且還考慮到環保及可持續性，儘管這些是重要的考慮因素。竹也是一種自然的吸聲材料，為Aurora帶來明顯的聲音效果。主體堅固，支撐力強，內部經精心設計加入阻尼物料,
確保揚聲器驅動器在運作時不會振動，也不會使聲音產生任何形式的失真。
Aurora共有八個驅動單元。四個重料130mm中低音為主驅動器以橫向方式分佈，覆蓋了大部分頻率，並有良好的申延性。兩隻特制28mm絲膜高音, 為Aurora帶來HD級的清析度, 令聲音更富立體感。最後兩個無源向下發射的低音驅動單元完美地為Aurora劃上句號。無縫的聲音連貫
柔滑的頻率響應，使Aurora 恍似分體式系統一般的聲音.

多個Auroras還可以通過Wi-Fi網絡鏈接在一起，構成一個無縫的多房間系統，同步播放或獨立控制。無論是Spotify或Tidal,還是數千種可從TuneIn等應用程序訪問互聯網廣播電台，Aurora都能覆蓋.

                                                     Aurora
                 All-in-one music system that sounds as good as it looks.
For music lovers, pure and simple. In your home. In your office. In your garden. Your music has never looked or sounded this awesome.




                                         Music amplified by emotion
Aurora is driven by PureEmotion®, an ingenious fusion of amp technologies – brand new and original to iFi.

It delivers a sound that combines purity of tone with a high level of engagement, speed and dynamic gusto, ensuring the emotive quality of music is delivered in full effect – which is why we call it PureEmotion®.

Avantgarde-HK

Versatile.
Aided by ART®, the Aurora adapts to the way you want to use it. Place it under a TV, connect via Bluetooth® or optical cable and use it as a stylish soundbar. And stream your favourite music.

Link several Auroras via Wi-Fi to create a multi-room system, playing in-sync or individually. Whether you stream from Spotify or Tidal, or surf the infinite number of internet radio stations via TuneIn, the Aurora has your music needs covered.

The Aurora has built-in Wi-Fi (2.4GHz only), and a Bluetooth receiver that supports Qualcomm’s aptX, aptX HD, and aptX LL (low latency) codecs; Sony’s LDAC; Huawei’s HWA; the AAC codec employed in Apple devices; and the standard Bluetooth SBC codec. For network playback, the Aurora supports UPnP/DLNA and Apple AirPlay.

On the rear panel are RCA and 3.5mm stereo analog jacks, TosLink and coaxial S/PDIF inputs with a maximum resolution of 24-bit/192kHz PCM, an Ethernet port, a slot for microSD memory cards, and a USB Type-A port for connecting an external drive. From Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB, and microSD sources the Aurora supports a maximum resolution of 32/192 PCM. In addition to a three-pronged IEC power connector there’s a 12V DC input, the latter allowing the Aurora to be used in mobile or marine applications.



Incoming digital signals are immediately converted to analog by an ESS Sabre DAC, under control of a system clock developed by iFi’s parent company, Abbingdon Music Research (AMR). iFi says this Global Master Timing (GMT)/Memory Buffer System minimizes jitter. The signal is then passed to a 32-bit ARM Cortex analog signal processor with some very useful functions. Automatic Room Tailoring (ART) uses an array of six ultrasonic sensors on the rear panel to measure the distance to room boundaries, then adjusts the Aurora’s sound output to suit the environment. SoundSpace performs matrix processing to expand the soundstage, while TrueBass enhances the low-frequency output. With ART switched on (the default setting), SoundSpace and TrueBass are controlled automatically. There’s also an Audiophile mode that bypasses ART, in which case SoundSpace and TrueBass can be defeated, or set manually.

除了外觀設計外，Aurora有著iFi Audio強大的技術能力與規格血統，具有網路串流播放功能，以專屬MUZO Player APP透過智慧型手機或平版電腦進行操作，數位輸入有同軸、光纖、類比輸入有1組RCA與3.5mm，還有aptX藍芽、WiFi無線、AirPlay、USB、microSDHC記憶卡介面等，解碼最高支援到32Bit/192kHz (ESS 32-bit Sabre DAC)，前級放大更採用真空管調音，後級採用晶體320W (4x 80W) 推動6顆單體提供足夠的聲壓與動態，包括4顆12cm的單體與2顆28mm的絲質高音，底部還有兩顆被動的低音。其還搭載了ifi Audio自家的XBass低音技術(低到27Hz)與ART (Automatic Room Tailoring) 自動空間效正得到最好的聲音表現。

Aurora的設計覆蓋在竹子中，並由醒目的鋁製框架懸掛，可以實現將其融合到幾乎任何裝飾中的技巧，並且可以成為焦點。

他與法國產品設計師朱利安·哈齊扎（Julien Haziza）在一杯Barad deBadassière男爵（或我們改名的Badass勳爵）上聊天時，告訴我們靈感來自東京的表參道和原宿地區的建築。他還補充說，他想擺脫這個領域中司空見慣的布制盒子。

iFi Aurora（極光）

在Aurora側面彎曲的竹板條的下面是六個喇叭單元（其中四個全頻單元與兩個超高頻單元），在設備的底部還有兩個向下擴音的鋼製超低頻喇叭單元。

該系統的控制面板位於正面和中間，帶有觸摸感應控制項（觸摸條）和一個用竹子鑲嵌的OLED顯示屏。

Aurora連接到家庭Wi-Fi網絡，以使音樂可以通過您喜歡的應用流式傳輸（流媒體），或播放存儲在網絡設備（例如計算機和NAS驅動器）上的音頻文件。藍牙也存在因此可以選擇直接從智能設備中傳輸音頻。

Aurora支持高達32位/192kHz的藍牙音頻數據，而無需通過Wi-Fi，USB或乙太網電纜進行轉換或下採樣。藍牙傳輸還提供了比通常情況下更好的聲音質量，由iFi設計為比現成的藍牙解決方案更「有損」。支持最新的高質量藍牙編解碼器，包括aptX HD，LDAC，LDHC，HWA以及AAC。

藉助其按鈕式WPS設置，將Aurora連接到Wi-Fi網絡非常簡單。使用Linkplay的MUZO Player應用程式或任何UPnP/DLNA流媒體應用程式，您可以配置系統並控制音樂。還支持AirPlay和Spotify Connect。

功率

iFi的「 PureEmotion」功放系統為Aurora供電。混合電路設計包括幾個關鍵階段。從包含俄羅斯6N3P閥的前置放大器階段開始，您可以看到OLED顯示屏旁邊的窗戶發光。該閥接收Aurora的DAC（數模轉換器）電路提供的模擬音頻信號（基於ESS Technology著名的32位Saber DAC系列的晶片），並增加增益以準備進一步放大。此外，6N3P帶來了明顯的溫暖感。
PureEmotion放大器階段可提供總共320W的功率，以為Aurora的八個定製揚聲器驅動單元供電。

按一下ART按鈕，在Aurora極光周圍點綴的六個麥克風使用超聲波測量到周圍牆壁的距離。然後，一個32位ARM Cortex微處理器調整驅動器陣列的輸出以精確調整Aurora的性能。

所有調整均嚴格在模擬範圍內進行，而無需依靠DSP或其他許多房間校正系統的反饋方式。有了它，您可以更精確地調整聲音，對房間模式和牆壁反射做出反應，而不會試圖以不自然的方式「中和」聲音。這裡的結果是您可以將Aurora放置在所需的位置，它將始終表現最佳。

Looking for a unique gadget to really stand out in your home? The iFi Aurora is a wireless music system from UK audio brand iFi, and is making a bid for pride of place in the living room.

An unholy clash of bamboo slats and aluminium girders – with a trapezium OLED display – the Aurora ditches conventional wisdom over speaker design to make a real visual statement. And even if you don't like that statement, the boldness of its structure is something to be admired.

-Best speakers, bar none
-Best soundbars for movies, TV and music

Sat somewhere between quirky diorama and ambitious concert hall, the iFi Aurora was inspired by Japanese architecture and designer Julian Haziza's experience working in home furnishings.

The result is a speaker that doesn't try to keep out of view, like a flat TV soundbar or compact smart speaker – it's the opposite of the strategy shown by both the Amazon Echo and Google Home ranges, which have moved towards curved edges and gray mesh exteriors to blend with soft furnishings as much as possible.

French design.
Japanese inspiration.



Our designer, Julien Haziza, drew inspiration from Japanese industrial designers and architecture – namely Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando and the Omotesandō and Harajuku districts in Tokyo.

Clad in bamboo and elevated by a distinctive aluminium frame, the Aurora’s design is striking. It mimics the grand scale of Japanese architecture – crisp, clean lines intertwined with a hint of vintage. Very fitting for the tour de force that is the Aurora.

Below the display and window are three rows of LED-lit soft-key switches, the rows separated by horizontal bamboo slats. In the top row are a switch for adjusting the Aurora’s illumination, two for controlling its signal-processing features (I explain these below), and a mute switch. The middle row has five controls, for selecting sources and initiating Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. In the bottom row is an on/off button and, to its right, a long slider for adjusting the volume, the level indicated by blue LEDs. The supplied remote-control handset can be used to mute or adjust the volume, pause or resume playback, cycle through sources, and control the Aurora’s signal-processing features.
