Amsterdam, 11th July 2023 - Pairing exquisite audio with a truly unique design experience, the Harman Kardon Aura Studio 4 inspires the senses. The latest in the iconic Harman Kardon Aura Studio line of premium Bluetooth speakers, Aura Studio 4 is elegantly crafted in part with recycled materials, effortlessly blending a unique modern design with exceptional sound quality.

Designed with Harman Kardon’s unrivalled audio expertise, the new speaker invites listeners to hear music the way it was meant to be heard. The 5.2” down-firing subwoofer and wide soundstage of the 6-speaker array produce beautiful Harman Kardon sound for outstanding performance with pinpoint accuracy. Pair with any two mobile devices for seamless wireless streaming and feel every beat with breathtaking clarity.

"Each of our Harman Kardon products has its own identity within the family of the brand.

The Aura Studio 4 continues to elevate this philosophy of the brand.  Our design team looked to nature and our appreciation of its power inspired us to create the Aura Studio 4, a fresh and iconic expression of light and sound. The 12-month design process brought together our progressive technology in stunning, mesmerizing beauty, bringing multi-sensory warmth, wonder, and honest delight into users' lives. Continuing our legacy of iconic, transparent speakers, the introduction of 324 individual crystals housed at the base of the dome in a parametric design allows the speaker’s enchanting ambient light to dance to the rhythms of beautiful Harman Kardon sound. We are proud to present the Harman Kardon Aura Studio 4, a fully immersive, multi-sensorial experience, enhancing users' home ambiance while connecting them with the beauty of nature," said Christian Schluender, Senior Vice President of Global Design.

A palette of carefully constructed animated light themes blends the smartest technology with a modern and unique design. Whether it’s Polar Light (inspiring imagination and fantasy), Universe (discovering the infinite space), Rain Drops (calming the mood), Cloud (relaxing), or Fire (enchanting), the Aura Studio 4 transforms and inspires listeners beyond the realms of the home.

The first in the range to be made in part with recycled materials, the speaker grille fabric is woven from 100% recycled polyester yarn, all aluminium is 100% recycled, and the speaker housing is crafted from 85% post-consumer recycled plastic. It is also packaged in FSC-certified paper that has been printed with soy ink.

Harman Kardon Aura Studio 4 is being unveiled as part of the Harman Kardon 70th anniversary celebration at the Montreux Jazz Festival. It will be available in Europe from 15th of September on harmankardon.com for €329.99.
