WHARFEDALE Elysian CR Centre Speaker
Pairs well with
The ELYSIAN CR is the dedicated centre-channel loudspeaker for the ELYSIAN R Series, engineered to deliver Wharfedale’s flagship sound to premium home cinema and multichannel music systems.
WHARFEDALE Elysian CR Centre Speaker
A true three-way centre speaker, ELYSIAN CR combines dual 8.5” coated glass fibre matrix bass drivers, a dedicated 6” coated glass fibre matrix midrange driver and a 27 x 45mm AMT high-frequency unit. It is designed to deliver dialogue with clarity and natural body, while preserving the scale, tonal balance and dynamic expression needed to match the wider ELYSIAN R system.
In a high-end home cinema system, the centre channel is critical. It carries dialogue, anchors the soundstage and connects the left and right speakers into a coherent front soundfield. For ELYSIAN R, that role demands more than a conventional centre speaker.
ELYSIAN CR uses a genuine three-way architecture, allowing the centre channel to reproduce voices and effects with the same clarity, authority and tonal refinement as the main ELYSIAN R models. The dedicated midrange driver ensures dialogue remains natural and intelligible, while the dual bass drivers provide weight and scale. The AMT treble unit delivers speed and openness, preserving fine detail without adding hardness.
Whether used with ELYSIAN 1R, 2R, 3R or 4R, ELYSIAN CR completes the system with a centre channel engineered to the same flagship standard.
The "R" Crossover
The ELYSIAN R crossover features premium components such as high-silicon-iron-cored coils for bass, air-core coils for midrange and treble, Super Audiophile polypropylene capacitors, and low-inductance resistors. Innovative direct-path PCBs are designed to maintain signal clarity.
