By simulating many dierent cone shapes and adding ribs to provide further stiening, a at response curve was achieved without resorting to a high-damping surround, thereby striking the ideal balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Magnet of Forces\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA precision-made magnet system with an aluminium compensation ring to minimise the eect of variations in inductance as the voice coil travels. This contributes to an absence of distortion and intermodulation generated by the motor system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Voice Coil Beyond This Class\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe voice coil is wound on a high-power epoxy\/glass bre bobbin highly unusual in speakers at this price level. This has the advantage of not adding eddy currents and delivering greater power handling than an aluminium bobbin, whilst also being much stier than the Kapton type associated with this price-class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDIAMOND Highs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 25mm dome is made from a woven polyester lm with a high-loss coating to deliver open and smoothly extended high frequencies. The magnet system and the front plate have been optimised for wide dispersion and uncompressed behaviour. The front plate is at and exposes the dome as much as possible; only a very short duct on the front plate balances the acoustic load and improves the SPL (sound pressure level) measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Crossover of Style\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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 modied to compensate, resulting in fast, clean bass with no distortion from the inductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirm and fair\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DIAMOND 12.1 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 identiable characteristics of the cabinets sound. Even the resonant properties of the glue between the layers was measured to determine the optimum combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrace Yourself\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInside the cabinet, Intelligent Spot Bracing connects opposite walls with a specic form of the wood brace to achieve an optimal reduction of cabinet resonance. These braces are precisely modelled by computer simulation to improve upon the commonplace gure of eight brace, which may simply transfer resonance from one wall to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeneral Description\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-way bookshelf speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnclosure type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eclosed-box system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransducer complement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-way\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\"(130mm) advanced PP Cone x2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreble driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\"(25mm) Textile Dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAV Shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity(2.83V @ 1m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Amplier Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20-120W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 Compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response(+\/-3dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90Hz ~ 20kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass extension(-6dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.2kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCabinet Volume (in litres)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.7L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003e(H x W x D )\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180 x 480 x (180+28) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.5kg\/pcs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer Site\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca\u003eWharfedale\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"Black Oak","offer_id":52740224319754,"sku":"WHARFEDALE-6078","price":229.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Oak","offer_id":52740224352522,"sku":"WHARFEDALE-6079","price":229.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut Pearl","offer_id":52740224385290,"sku":"WHARFEDALE-6080","price":229.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/wharfedale-diamond-12.c-centre-loudspeaker-24801-p.png?v=1773934604","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/wdale-dmnd12-c","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
