It is therefore not constrained by the mass of its diaphragm, with the attendant blurring of transient response. Instead, the diaphragm is folded and carries conductive elements immersed in an immensely strong magnetic field. Not only is this an efficient way of moving air, it is also highly accurate as the diaphragm is under close control of the motor system at all times. The result is a wide bandwidth transducer that achieves extremely low distortion and wonderful musical detail, with scintillating speed and dynamic ability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAURA Cones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs Wharfedale engineers found when designing the flagship\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eELYSIAN series, the transient accuracy and efficiency of the AMT\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eneeds to be matched by the midrange and bass drivers for a\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eseamless audio performance.
