Harman Kardon’s Aura Studio 5 Redefines Audio and Ambience
Harman Kardon, legendary for blending iconic design with remarkable sound, has set a new standard by launching the Aura Studio 5 in China. This latest iteration transforms home listening with its stunning projection lighting system, premium three-way audio, and thoughtful eco-friendly touches. Priced at 2,499 yuan (about $349), the Aura Studio 5 is ready for a new generation of style-centric audiophiles.
Signature Design Meets Next-Level Projection Lighting
Visuals that Transform Any Room
The standout feature of the Aura Studio 5 is its innovative projection lighting system. Unlike ordinary speakers that simply glow, this speaker projects dynamic visual effects on your walls or ceiling, creating an immersive audio-visual experience for any setting.
-
Five ambient lighting themes: Snowy Fireplace, Sunrise, Blossom, Aurora, and Ocean.
-
App customization: Use the Harman Kardon One app to adjust lighting themes and brightness for every mood or occasion.
The speaker’s design includes a modern recessed waistline, and touch controls are arranged in a ring for easy, elegant operation.
Audio Hardware: Bold Power Meets Pure Clarity
160W Three-Way Acoustic Architecture
Harman Kardon packs serious punch under the dome:
-
Six 40mm midrange drivers
-
One 25mm tweeter
-
One 143mm subwoofer
Altogether, these deliver a 160-watt RMS output, with crystal-clear mids, sparkling highs, and deep, tight bass. The careful division—40W for the mids and highs, and 100W dedicated to the sub—ensures a broad, room-filling soundstage.
Broader Frequency Range for True Hi-Fi
-
Frequency response: 45Hz to 20kHz
-
Signal-to-noise ratio: 80dB(A), resulting in low background hiss and high-fidelity playback
Harman Kardon’s proprietary sound field technology maintains consistent acoustic performance across your space, whether up close or at a distance.
Smart Connections & True Wireless Flexibility
Bluetooth 5.4 and Auracast Stereo Pairing
-
Bluetooth 5.4: Delivers fast pairing, stable streaming, and greater energy efficiency.
-
A2DP 1.4 and AVRCP 1.6.2 protocols for enhanced compatibility with phones, tablets, and laptops.
-
Dual-device connection: Switch seamlessly between two sources without missing a beat.
-
Auracast stereo pairing: Wirelessly link two Aura Studio 5 speakers for true left-right stereo or synchronized multi-room sound.
Sustainability and Build: Harmonizing Style with Responsibility
Eco-Friendly Materials and Packaging
-
The Aura Studio 5 features a contemporary build using recycled materials for environmental responsibility.
-
FSC-certified packaging with soy-based ink further reduces ecological impact.
-
Dimensions: 306.4 x 234 x 234 mm
-
Weight: 4.2 kilograms for robust, stable placement
Effortless Control and Daily Use
-
Touch-sensitive controls: Arranged in an easy-access ring.
-
Intuitive app for lighting, audio profiles, and device management.
-
Compact yet visually stunning form factor complements any modern interior.
Competitive Spotlight: Other Recent Audio Launches
-
TCL Z100 Wireless Speaker System: Debuted in the US, featuring Dolby Atmos FlexConnect for surround sound.
-
Portronics Nebula X 150W: Offers RGB party lighting and karaoke microphone for festive occasions.
However, the combination of high-power audio, immersive projection lighting, and premium design keeps the Aura Studio 5 firmly in a league of its own for chic home entertainment.
Why the Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5 Stands Out
With its brilliant 160W three-way sound, mesmerizing lighting effects, advanced Bluetooth 5.4 streaming, and eco-conscious credentials, the Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5 reimagines what a home speaker can be—both a sensory experience and a conversation piece. Whether for cinematic movie nights, parties, or immersive relaxation, this speaker bridges world-class acoustics and designer ambience.
Pre-orders are now open in China on JD.com and other leading platforms. For discerning music lovers seeking the perfect blend of art, audio power, and environmental awareness, the Aura Studio 5 sets a new benchmark for home listening luxury.
