Still compact but with increased cabinet volume and driver size for even more potency, the Wharfedale DIAMOND 12.2 offers a little more from a traditional standmount (or bookshelf) speaker format and embodies the history and performance values of the Wharfedale DIAMOND series.
Perfect for larger rooms and more powerful 2-channel hi-fi systems, the DIAMOND 12. features a high-performance 150mm (6.5ā) KlarityTM driver for extended, tight bass, and a superb 25mm (1ā) woven polyester dome tweeter for open and smoothly extended high frequencies.
NEW Klarity⢠cone material, formulated from a blend of Polypropylene and mica adds stiļ¬ness to reduce ļ¬exing, enabling a lightweight cone with high rigidity, low colouration and lightning-fast response.
The Klarity⢠cone is ļ¬tted with a low-damping surround, thereby achieving both low colouration and expressive dynamics. By simulating many diļ¬erent cone shapes and adding ribs to provide further stiļ¬ening, a ļ¬at response curve was achieved without resorting to a high-damping surround, thereby striking the ideal balance.
A precision-made magnet system with an aluminium compensation ring to minimise the eļ¬ect of variations in inductance as the voice coil travels. This contributes to an absence of distortion and intermodulation generated by the āmotor systemā.
Ā
The crossover network uses an acoustic LKR 24dB topology. This includes air-core inductors of the type more commonly found in high-end speakers, selected because they produce the lowest distortion of all inductor types. As the resistance of the coil is higher than a standard laminated steel or ferrite core inductor, the magnetic structure of the mid/bass driver has been modiļ¬ed to compensate, resulting in fast, clean bass with no distortion from the inductor.
The DIAMOND 12.1 ās rear-ported enclosure is precisely sized so that the internal volume works in harmony with the drive unit system to deliver the desired sonic result. A multi-layered sandwich design subdues the identiļ¬able characteristics of the cabinetās āsoundā. Even the resonant properties of the glue between the layers was measured to determine the optimum combination.
