Switch off the amplifier and all sources before making connections to your sound system. When you switch on the system or change sources, set the volume control to minimum and turn up the level gradually.

The position of your Volume Control is NOT a reliable guide as to the maximum capabilities of your system. Playing the system with extreme settings of volume and tone controls may damage the amplifier and loudspeakers. Do not connect loudspeaker terminals to the mains supply.

Ensure that your loudspeakers are correctly wired and are in phase.

Do not subject your loudspeakers to excessive cold, heat or sunlight.

The product must not be exposed to dripping and splashing and no object filled with liquids – such as a vase of flowers – should be placed on the product.

No naked flame sources – such as candles – must be placed on the product.

Do not place heavy objects on top of loudspeaker cabinets. If you play them with the grilles removed be careful to protect the drive units from children and pets.

Do not use makeshift stands. Always fit a manufacturer’ approved stand using the instructions and the fixings provided. Your dealer will advise you.

Do not attempt to dismantle the loudspeaker. There are no user serviceable parts inside and you will invalidate the warranty.

opus specifications

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.
