Hopedale,
MA, Sept 23, 2010 — At CEDIA Expo 2010, Sound Import, LLC, the
exclusive U.S. distributor for the Wharfedale brand of dynamic loudspeakers,
is showcasing Wharfedale’s Achromatic Series loudspeakers, which
combine striking, slim design with custom-installation-friendly features
and newly developed drivers that are engineered to deliver superlative
sound.
The
Achromatic lineup includes two wall-mountable left/right/surround
speakers (models WA-S1 and WA-S2); two wall-mountable center-channel
speakers (WA-C2 and WA-C4); two floorstanding towers (the WA-T4 and
WA-T8) and two powered subwoofers (models WA-8SB and WA-12SB). The
loudspeakers are available individually, or as part of the Micro,
Basik, Supro, L/C/R or Ultimo system packages for smaller, mid-sized
and larger rooms. Prices range from $169 to $599 for individual speaker
pairs and from $699 to $1,699 for system packages.
Achromatic
Series loudspeakers are sleek and elegant, making them ideal for custom-installation,
architectural and designer applications. All models have a stunning
piano-black finish with soft leatherette accents. Their slim-profile
design complements any flat-panel TV and home décor. The wall-mountable
models can be installed either horizontally or vertically using their
standard keyhole wall mounts.
“Achromatic”
literally means “without coloration” — the sonic
design goal of the Achromatic Series. To achieve their clear, neutral,
yet expressive and detailed sound, Wharfedale developed new drivers
exclusively for the Series. The compact yet powerful 3-inch woofer/midrange
driver features an inverted aluminum dome, along with a high-sensitivity,
long-throw voice coil that is directly coupled to the edge of the
dome via a butyl rubber surround.
The
1-inch soft-dome tweeter utilizes a ferrofluid-cooled, copper-coated
aluminum voice coil, to preserve subtle high-frequency nuances and
avoid dynamic compression. The powered subwoofers employ composite-cone
drivers in reflex-ported enclosures for maximum efficiency and bass
output.
All
the drivers are closely matched to their enclosures. As a result,
crossovers with a minimum of parts can be used, resulting in greater
sonic purity and smoother frequency response. The drivers and enclosures
are also designed to provide more uniform in-room response and smooth
dispersion over a wider listening area.
Unlike
many loudspeakers, all Wharfedale models are designed and built completely
in-house, from their drivers and internal components to their elegantly
finished cabinets. This vertical integration enables Wharfedale to
have complete design control over every aspect of every loudspeaker,
and ensure unit-to-unit consistency. In addition, the company can
manufacture superior-performance loudspeakers at attractive price
points and employ materials and techniques that are unavailable to
other companies.
