About the Harman Kardon Aura
Bold, innovative design
Bold, innovative design
With the Harman Kardon Aura, sophisticated visual design meets high-performance sound. The Aura's attention-grabbing clear acoustic chamber isn't there just for show — it radiates a spacious, detailed 360° soundfield. The system features six 1-1/2" drivers that produce clear, accurate mids and highs. At the center of the array is a 4-1/2" down-firing woofer to deliver the bass. Harman's proprietary digital signal processing ensures accurate, lifelike reproduction of your music.
The striking, see-through chamber channels the sound and spreads it across the room.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi®
The system's built-in Bluetooth lets you wirelessly stream music from your smartphone, tablet, or any other Bluetooth-compatible portable. Whether it's stored music, music services like Pandora® or Spotify, or even video and game soundtracks — if you can hear it through your portable device, you can stream it via Bluetooth to the Aura.
The speaker system also has built-in Wi-Fi, and is DLNA-certified. So you can use your DLNA-compatible Android smartphone, tablet, computer, or other component to stream music and audio to the Aura.
Apple AirPlay
If you own Apple portables, good news. That Wi-Fi connectivity also lets you use Apple AirPlay through your home network. Apple AirPlay gives you additional options when you use iTunes® on your computer. Just open iTunes, select the Aura in the AirPlay menu and start streaming music to the system. Use your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch® to control the iTunes menu on your computer. From your Apple hand-held device, you can stream stored music, video and game soundtracks, and even online music services like Pandora and Spotify.
Plays well with others
An optical digital input lets you connect your flat-panel TV or receiver to create a compact entertainment system. For most other sources, there's a simple analog stereo minijack input. Use the Harman Kardon remote app to control the system through your Android or Apple smartphone or tablet.

Features
360º Room-Filling Sound: The Harman/Kardon Aura features a unique speaker & enclosure design which produces 360º room-filling. Six high/midrange drivers join together with its down-firing 4.5" subwoofer to deliver a powerful, detailed soundstage which maintains absolute clarity from any angle in the room. The wireless speaker system utilizes Harman's stereo-widening DSP technology to deliver a balanced sound with enhanced equalization to create a full and more realistic audio experience.
Bluetooth Audio Streaming: The Harman/Kardon Aura supports Bluetooth A2DP wireless audio streaming. This allows you to stream stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled device (such as your Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/table, or computer/laptop) to the Aura speaker system. You will continue to navigate your music and view song/artist information from your Bluetooth-enabled device. This unit pairs with your Bluetooth-enabled device with a single press of a button. Once paired, the Aura will automatically re-connect with your device when in wireless range (up to 33').
AirPlay Compatible: AirPlay lets you stream music directly from your iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad, or from your iTunes library on your PC or Mac to the Denon Aura, over your wireless home network connection. By downloading Apple's free Remote App onto your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad you don't even need to be in the same room as the Aura or your computer to play, pause, skip, and stop the songs in your iTunes music library. To use the AirPlay feature you need a Mac or Windows-based PC running iTunes (10.1 or later) connected to your wireless home network. Your iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad must have iOS 4.3 or later installed and connected to the same wireless home network.
DLNA Certified: The H/K Aura is DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certified. This means it's easier for you to access and enjoy digital music stored on your Windows PC, DLNA server, or DLNA-compliant Android device. You'll be able to wirelessly stream your stored music library on your compatible DLNA device to the Aura speaker. The Aura supports playback of a variety of music files via DLNA.
Analog + Digital Inputs: The Harman/Kardon Aura is fitted with a analog minijack (3.5mm) input and a digital optical (toslink) input for connecting external devices with analog or digital outputs, but don't offer wireless connectivity.
Headphone Output: The Aura features a 3.5mm headphone output to connect a set of headphones for private listening. The Aura's speakers will be muted while headphones are connected.
H/K Remote App: Downloading the free Harman/Kardon Remote app from the iTunes App store onto your Apple iOS (5.0+) device or from the Google Play Store onto your Android (2.2+) device lets you control the Aura speaker system from your smartphone or tablet device. You'll also be able to control your Apple iOS or Android device's stored music from the Harman/Kardon Remote app.
- Volume Control: You have control of the speaker system's volume level through the Harman/Kardon Remote app and your Apple iOS/Android device.
- Music Control: You can control all the music you have stored on your compatible Apple iOS/Android device through the H/K Remote app. You'll be able to search your music by Song, Artist, Album, Playlist, and Genre. You also get basic playback functions such as Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Repeat/Random. To access music apps, you'll need to exit the H/K Remote app and select your desired music app on your iOS or Android device.
AC Power: The Harman/Kardon Aura operates off of standard household current using the included AC power adapter and cord.

Great harmonic range, plenty of bass and volume. I use it with AirPlay but it also supports Bluetooth.
