OVERVIEW

The DM4.0 is a dynamic moving coil microphone designed to handle a wide variety of vocal and instrument applications for both live sound and recording. This microphone is also available with an integral on/off switch (model DM4.0S). Characteristics of the DM4.0, such as a tight super-cardioid pickup pattern with a frequency response of 45Hz – 18kHz, slight bass proximity and mid range presence result in a warm and natural sounding response for every application. The DM4.0 is engineered to handle very high source levels without distortion and provides over 36dB of off axis feedback rejection.

Low impedance and balanced output allow for interference free performance. The DM4.0 is built solidly with a cast alloy body, steel mesh grille ball and internal pop screen.

DM4.0S, DM4.0 specifications

The Wharfedale DM4.0S and DM4.0 speakers represent an impressive evolution in the world of audio technology, catering to the needs of both audiophiles and casual listeners. These models are part of Wharfedale’s esteemed DM series, known for delivering exceptional sound quality while maintaining an accessible price point.

One of the standout features of both the DM4.0S and DM4.0 is their sophisticated cabinet design. Constructed from high-quality MDF, the cabinets are engineered to minimize resonance and enhance sound clarity. The sleek, modern aesthetic is not only visually appealing but also plays a crucial role in the acoustic performance by ensuring optimal sound distribution. The curved edges help to reduce standing waves inside the enclosure, resulting in a more accurate soundstage.

In terms of technology, both models utilize the latest in driver design. They are equipped with advanced woven Kevlar cones in the bass and midrange drivers, which provide remarkable rigidity and reduced distortion. This innovative material allows for broader frequency response and improved transient response. Coupled with a high-performance soft dome tweeter, the DM4.0S and DM4.0 deliver an expansive soundstage and an accurate representation of high frequencies, giving users an immersive listening experience.

Another notable characteristic of these speakers is their versatility. The DM4.0S is specifically designed for home cinema use, incorporating advanced state-of-the-art drivers that emphasize dynamics and detail in both movies and music. Its slightly larger size compared to the DM4.0 makes it better suited for larger rooms, producing more profound bass response and during demanding audio scenes. The DM4.0, on the other hand, shines in smaller setups, perfect for compact spaces.

Connectivity is straightforward, with both models featuring standard speaker terminals that allow easy integration into existing audio systems. Additionally, the rear-firing bass ports enhance low-frequency performance, delivering deeper bass notes without compromising clarity.

In conclusion, the Wharfedale DM4.0S and DM4.0 speakers stand out for their impressive build quality, advanced driver technology, and aesthetic design. These models provide exceptional sound reproduction for home theater enthusiasts and casual listeners alike, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience. Their intricate engineering and thoughtful design principles highlight Wharfedale’s commitment to delivering quality sound at an unbeatable value.
