Using separate cables for treble, mid and bass units in Tri or Bi-wiring configuration reduces intermodulation effects and improves headroom and clarity. To Bi-wire, you will need to install two lengths of twin core cable between the amplifier and each loudspeaker.

Unscrew each terminal a few turns and remove the metal tri-link straps. Use the bi-link straps (supplied in accessories) to connect the treble and mid-range terminals. Connect the cables between the amplifier and the loudspeakers as indicated and re-tighten all the terminals securely.

Note: Some amplifiers have two pairs of output terminals to facilitate bi-wiring but this is not essential. The advantages of bi-wiring are fully retained if your amplifier has only one pair of output terminals per channel (as in the illustration).

Wharfedale Opus is a distinguished line of loudspeakers that has garnered attention for its exceptional sound quality and craftsmanship. Known for its rich audio heritage, Wharfedale has continuously pushed the boundaries of speaker technology, and the Opus series exemplifies this commitment.

One of the key features of the Opus series is its impressive driver technology. Utilizing a combination of advanced materials, the speakers are designed to deliver a rich and dynamic soundstage. The proprietary woven Kevlar cone drivers provide a balanced frequency response, allowing for clear highs, detailed mids, and robust bass. The woofers in the Opus series are engineered to handle powerful dynamics, ensuring that every musical note is reproduced with precision.

In addition to the drivers, the Opus series incorporates a sophisticated crossover network. This technology ensures that each driver operates within its optimal frequency range, providing seamless integration between the low, mid, and high frequencies. The result is an immersive listening experience that captures the nuances of every track, whether it is a symphony or a modern pop song.

Another standout characteristic of the Wharfedale Opus speakers is their elegant design. The cabinets are constructed from high-quality materials, which not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also contribute to sound quality by minimizing cabinet resonance. Available in multiple finishes, Opus speakers can complement a wide range of home decors, making them as much a piece of art as they are a tool for listening.

The Opus series also integrates advanced damping technologies to reduce unwanted vibrations, further enhancing sound clarity. By applying innovative engineering techniques, Wharfedale ensures that each speaker delivers a natural and engaging audio experience. Whether placed in a dedicated listening room or a casual living space, Opus speakers are designed to perform.

Additionally, Wharfedale's attention to detail extends to the speaker terminals, allowing for secure connections with high-quality cabling. This facilitates bi-wiring or bi-amping setups, giving audiophiles the flexibility to optimize their sound system according to personal preferences.

In summary, Wharfedale Opus speakers are a testament to the brand’s dedication to high-fidelity audio. With advanced driver technology, sophisticated crossover networks, elegant design, and innovative damping systems, they deliver an exceptional listening experience that appeals to both casual listeners and dedicated audiophiles alike. The Opus series not only highlights Wharfedale’s legacy but also sets a benchmark for performance and beauty in the world of loudspeakers.
