DESIGN TECHNOLOGY
The Wharfe dale design principle
has, since our foundation in 1932,
been one of simple execution and
vertical component synergy. This
principle is manifest within Opus2.
Every component, sub-assembly,
even the crossover elements are
manufactured entirely in-house to
a standard com mensurate with
the product and with regard to
every other component within the
loudspeaker.
Through this vertical integration we
are able to ensure the cabinets fit
the drive units, t hat t he operating
spectrum of the drive units work
with each other and that the whole
is much greater than the sum of the
parts - perfect synergy.
This all-embracing approach to design
pays dividends in performance.
Because the crossove r can be
relatively simple, phase linearity
is preser ved, meaning the d rive
units move in unison - a seamless
transition from one to the other
without disconnect or interference.
Because each drive unit is operating
so comfortab ly within its own
specification, the presentation is
relaxed and confident; powerful
and fulfilling.
Opus2 loudspeakers have a further
feature - usually found only in the
highest quality professional recording
studios - a dome mid-range driver
capable of reproducing the entire
range of human vocal reproduction
- with a dispersion character istic
which mimics the voice.
Through this synergy, Opus2
achieves one of the most natural
presentation s pos sible from a
moving-coil loudspeaker.
