HECO Aurora 700 3-WAY BASS REFLEX FLOORSTANDING SPEAKER

• Floor standing loudspeaker with double-bass components provides for richly detailed and powerful sound
• Modern design: Silk-matt lacquer combined with modern wood decors
• New Fluktus tweeter with 28 mm fabric dome and computer-optimised multi-corrugated front panel for perfect dispersion characteristics
• Solid crossbeams at the base with height-adjustable massive aluminum cone spikes

Despite its slender dimensions, the Aurora 700 3-way bass reflex speaker with its double bass configuration is capable of generating an explosive acoustic performance. The Aurora 700 features bass and midrange drivers with particularly lightweight HECO kraft paper cones, which have been optimized to ensure a distortion-free performance, a newly developed Fluktus tweeter, which features a 28 mm silk compound dome, and a computer-optimized multi-wave front panel, which ensures perfect dispersion properties. It utilizes all of these components to achieve a sound pressure rating of 92 dB, meaning that it doesn´t fall far short of the flagship model, namely the Aurora 1000. Modern wood decor is combined with an "ebony black" or "ivory white" high-quality silk matte lacquer finish that is applied to the top and front of the speaker. Together with its magnetically mounted front grille, the Aurora 700 creates a look that is very modern yet timelessly elegant at the same time.

Besides the Roman goddess and the northern and southern polar lights, the name Aurora now also lends itself to maximum acoustic performance. HECO´s current speaker family is characterized by newly developed components and innovative technology, and it offers the discerning listener excellent sound characteristics in both stereo operation with high-quality music reproduction, as well as in a fully-fledged surround setup with movie soundtracks.

What´s more, the Aurora series is not only pleasing to the ear, but to the eye as well. A combination of modern wood decor and a high-quality silk matte lacquer finish, which adorns the baffle and top of the speakers, simultaneously provides a very modern appearance and timeless elegance. To ensure the sound transducers look the part in any living environment, they are available in both an "ebony black" and "ivory white" lacquer finish. The acoustic fabric grille is invisibly attached to the baffle with magnets to ensure there´s nothing to tarnish the overall visual appearance.

New series tweeter for perfect dispersion

The new Fluctus tweeter is used by all of the components in the Aurora series (with the exception of the powerful active subwoofer). The new HECO tweeter ensures perfect dispersion properties thanks to its 28 mm silk compound dome and computer-optimized multi-wave front panel. This not only results in a completely balanced and harmonious integration of the center speaker in a surround setup, but also guarantees an overall coherent and enclosed sound stage as well as a broad sweet spot in every situation. The tweeter is extremely resilient due to its ferrofluid cooling and it is also equipped with a powerful ferrite double magnet system.

Bass power in a tried and tested manner

Tried and tested HECO kraft paper cones, which have been specially optimized for distortion-free playback and provided with long throw surrounds and resilient voice coils, are used as a basis for the woofers in the entire series. These cones are utilized in a double configuration in the floor standing speakers and a generously dimensioned 30 cm cone is used for the subwoofer. The woofers and midrange speakers, which are accommodated in sturdy and coated steel baskets, are provided with decorative rings that are secured in place with 8 and 6 screws respectively.
In addition, the housing has been constructed in a very sturdy manner and is braced at multiple locations. The floor standing speakers, which are accommodated on solid crossbeams, can be adjusted to suit requirements via the height-adjustable metal cone spikes.
