- Black Oak Finish
- Part Of Wharfedale’s Diamond 12 Series Of Speakers
- The Ultra-Compact Speaker In The Diamond 12 Series, The Diamond 12.0 Features All Of The Same Technology As Its Larger Siblings But Is Designed For Small-Footprint Hi-Fi Systems, Or Even As A High-Performance, Compact Satellite Speaker In Home Theatre Systems
- 2-Way Compact Bookshelf Speaker
- Enclosure Type: Bass Reflex – Rear Port
- 25mm Woven Polyester Film Dome Tweeter With a High-Loss Coating Brings Open & Smoothly Extended High Frequencies
- The Magnet System & The Front Plate Have Been Optimised For Wide Dispersion & Uncompressed Behaviour
- The Front Plate Is Flat & Exposes The Dome As Much As Possible; Only a Very Short Duct On The Front Plate Balances The Acoustic Load & Improves the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) Measurement
- 4″ Klarityâ„¢ Bass Driver with a Bass Performance That Exceeds Its Diminutive Footprint
- New Klarityâ„¢ Cone Material, Formulated From a Blend of Polypropylene & Mica Adds Stiffness To Reduce Flexing, Enabling a Lightweight Cone with High Rigidity, Low Colouration & Lightning-Fast Response
- The Klarityâ„¢ Cone Is Fitted With a Low-Damping Surround, Thereby Achieving Both Low Colouration & Expressive Dynamics
- By Simulating Many Different Cone Shapes & Adding Ribs To Provide Further Stiffening, a Flat Response Curve Was Achieved Without Resorting To a High-Damping Surround, Thereby Striking The Ideal Balance
- There Is a Precision-Made Magnet System With An Aluminium Compensation Ring To Minimise The Effect Of Variations In Inductance As The Voice Coil Travels
- This Contributes To An Absence Of Distortion & Intermodulation Generated By The ‘Motor System’
- The Voice Coil Is Wound On a High-Power Epoxy/Glass Fibre Bobbin Highly Unusual In Speakers At This Price Level
- This Has The Advantage Of Not Adding Eddy Currents & Delivering Greater Power Handling Than An Aluminium Bobbin, Whilst Also Being Much Stiffer Than The Kapton Type Associated With This Price-Class
- A Crossover Of Style
- The Crossover Network Uses An Acoustic LKR 24dB Topology
- This Includes Air-Cone 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 Modified To Compensate, Resulting In Fast, Clean Bass with No Distortion From The Inductor
- The Diamond 12’s 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 Indentifiable Characteristics Of The Cabinet’s ‘Sound’
- Even The Resonant Properties Of The Glue Between The Layers Was Measured To Determine The Optimum Combination
- Inside The Cabinet, Intelligent Spot Bracing Connects Opposite Walls With a Specific Form Of Wood Brace To Achieve An Optimal Reduction Of Cabinet Resonance
- The Braces Are Precisely Modelled By Computer Simulation To Improve Upon The Commonplace ‘Figure Of Eight’ Brace, Which May Simply Transfer Resonance From One Wall To Another
