ℹ Product Information

Wharfedale - Diamond 12.0 Bookshelf Speakers

The Wharfedale - Diamond 12.0 Bookshelf Speakers are the ultimate maestro in compact audio machinery, meticulously crafted for the most discriminating of audiophiles. This powerful speaker is part of the DIAMOND 12 series and works in concert with its grander brethren to parallel the robust depth of hi-fi systems, while also asserting its pedigree as a high octane satellite speaker in home theatre setups.

The DIAMOND 12.0 features a top-tier 100mm (4”) KlarityTM driver that delivers insurmountable bass capability, challenging its compact dimensions with a thunderous, visceral sound profile. It also includes a 25mm (1") woven polyester dome tweeter, which swaths the room in a glorious array of high frequencies.

The speaker is built with a KlarityTM cone material, an inventive alchemy of Polypropylene and mica, which adds rigidity and durability to the lightweight cone. The low-damping surround strikes a fine balance between minimal coloration and maximum expressive dynamics.

The speaker's magnet structure includes an elegant aluminium compensation ring that neutralizes inductance fluctuations, eliminating distortion and enhancing motor system integrity. The voice coil is wound on a premium-grade epoxy/glass fiber bobbin, resulting in greater power loads and superior stiffness compared to other coils.

The Diamond 12.0 also boasts an enhanced tweeter with a high-loss coating, offering open and well-drawn high frequencies. The overall design and technology of the speaker combine to produce vibrant, full-bodied sound that breathes life into your favorite songs and enhances your home theatre experiences.

Features:

  1. Compact Size: Fits seamlessly into any small-footprint hi-fi system or larger home theatre setup.
  2. KlarityTM Driver: Provides bass performance that surpasses its size.
  3. Enhanced Tweeter: Delivers finely extended high frequencies.
  4. Tailored Cone: Reduces flexing for lightning-fast response and low coloration.
  5. Low-Damping Surround: Results in less coloration and expressive dynamics.
  6. Effective Magnet System: Minimizes inductance variations, delivering minimal distortion.
  7. Reinforced Voice Coil: Transfers greater power loads and offers enhanced stiffness.
  8. Intelligent Spot Bracing: Reduces cabinet resonances and reinforces the overall structure.
  9. Superior Crossover: Ensures fast, clean bass and low distortion levels.

Benefits:

  1. Space-Saving: Provides powerful sound performance despite its compact size.
  2. Exceptional Audio Quality: Delivers crystal clear audio with notable depth and detail.
  3. Improved High Frequencies: Produces open and smoothly extended high frequencies.
  4. Low Distortion: Delivers sound with minimal distortion for an enhanced listening experience.
  5. Greater Power Handling: Supports a wider range of media and sound profiles.
  6. Superior Dispersion: Fills the room evenly for a more immersive listening environment.
  7. Resilient Design: Ensures enhanced durability and better resonance control.
  8. High-End Features at an Affordable Price: Offers top-tier performance without the top-tier price tag.

The clarity that the new stylus produces is phantastic. It's like having the orchestra in ones living room. Even older LPs reveal a lot of details.

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!
