Wharfedale DS-2 - Bookshelf Speakers

Introducing the latest in compact-yet-compelling audio innovation, the Wharfedale DS-2 stereo Bluetooth speaker system. Leveraging decades of audio expertise, the DS-2 has been meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the award-winning DS-1 and further elevate your sonic experience. This sleek set of hi-fi bookshelf speakers delivers the punchy depth of a concert hall and the intricate acoustics of a recording studio, all wrapped up in an elegantly miniaturised package. Standing a mere 190mm high, 120mm wide, and 140mm deep, these speakers offer a robust design and compact convenience to fit any desk, shelf, or table with ease.

Features

  1. Compact Stereo Bluetooth Speaker System: A major advantage is the compact design, only 190mm high, 120mm wide, and 140mm deep. This makes the DS-2 bookshelf speakers easily portable and ideal for desk, table or shelf placement.

  2. High-Quality Sound through Effective Design: Our speakers utilise a woven polypropylene mid/bass cone and silk dome to ensure high-quality, sharp and clear sound output. Few other compact speakers can match the sonic clarity and strength offered by Wharfedale's DS-2.

  3. Advanced Digital Amplification: The incorporation of a new-generation, high-performance digital amplification system outputting 2x15W continuous and 2x30W peak drives both the mid/bass and treble units. This effectively powers the speakers efficiently, delivering an unrivalled sound.

  4. Superior Wireless Bluetooth Pairing: Offers seamless, hassle-free connectivity via Bluetooth to devices like smartphones, tablets, PCs and Macs. Included support for the superior aptX codec to ensure highest quality audio transfer.

  5. Adaptable Auxiliary Input: The speakers provide flexibility in connectivity, featuring a 3.5mm stereo input for situations where wired connection is preferred or necessary.

  6. Powerful Bass: A rear-firing port augments low-frequency performance, producing surprisingly deep and punchy bass for its size.

  7. Protective Grilles: To ensure longevity, both drive units are safeguarded by specially designed metal grilles that prevent damage and keep your speakers looking sleek and sharp.
