INTRODUCTION:

The TWIN-X is capable of delivering high SPL’s in even the most demanding applications and exhibits true constant directivity, providing an even frequency response over the entire area of coverage.

The TWIN-X full range cabinet comprises one sophisticated low frequency (LF) driver and high frequency (HF) sources are exactly aligned to a point source, resulting in a smooth uniform frequency response over a wide area of coverage either as a portable stand alone system or in a multi-cabinet array. As the system is a point source, clusters and arrays have minimal lobing. These features are inherent and achieved without the use of any electronic signal processing.

The asymmetric cabinet profile allows flexible and discreet installation. As a foreground system, installation is made simple with any type of mounting hardware or the system can be flown using the integral M10 inserts.

For portable stage use the birch ply cabinet has a recessed carrying handle on the rear of the cabinet. As a versatile low profile stage monitor, the conical coverage pattern gives the performer greater freedom of movement.

Equalisation:

The TWIN-X loudspeaker is designed to need no equalisation or correction to overcome system limitations. As a result, it will only need equalisation to compensate for difficult acoustic environments.

Over equalisation can reduce system headroom, and introduce phase distortion resulting in greater problems than cures. If equalisation is required then it should be applied gently and smoothly. The TWIN-X loudspeaker is a point source, phase coherent design and violent equalisation will be detrimental to the overall sound quality.

When a loudspeaker is used in close proximity to another, comb filtering effects can create coverage problems, comb filtering creates an uneven frequency response across the coverage area due to constructive and destructive interference effects between the sources. The amount of comb filtering is affected by the spacing fo the relative sound sources. Minimising this effect cannot be cured by equalisation.

Twin X Series specifications

The Wharfedale Twin X Series is an innovative range of loudspeakers designed for music lovers who appreciate high-fidelity sound and stylish aesthetics. With an emphasis on delivering exceptional audio performance, the Twin X Series stands out in the crowded marketplace of loudspeakers.

One of the most impressive features of the Twin X Series is its advanced driver technology. Each speaker is equipped with a bespoke woven Kevlar cone woofer that ensures accurate bass response while maintaining clarity across the entire frequency range. This cone material is known for its stiffness and lightweight properties, allowing for better control and reduced distortion during playback.

Additionally, the Twin X Series employs a specially designed soft dome tweeter. This tweeter enhances the high-frequency response, providing detail and precision in the upper registers. Together, these drivers create a cohesive and balanced sound profile that allows listeners to fully experience the nuances of their favorite music.

A key characteristic of the Twin X Series is its modern design. These speakers feature a sleek, minimalist aesthetic with a choice of attractive finishes that can seamlessly integrate into any home decor. The cabinets are constructed from high-quality MDF, reducing unwanted resonances and contributing to the overall sound quality. Furthermore, the rounded edges of the cabinets not only enhance their visual appeal but also help to minimize diffraction, resulting in a more immersive listening experience.

Connectivity is another strong point of the Wharfedale Twin X Series. The speakers are designed to be versatile, capable of working with a variety of audio systems. They feature both bi-wiring and bi-amping options, allowing the user to optimize their audio setup for even better performance. This adaptability ensures that the Twin X Series can grow with the listener's needs as they evolve.

The Wharfedale Twin X Series also includes thoughtful design elements like magnetic speaker grills that offer flexibility of use. These grills help protect the drivers while maintaining a clean, unobstructed look when removed.

In summary, the Wharfedale Twin X Series presents a perfect blend of advanced technology, stylistic design, and versatility. With its focus on audio fidelity, robust construction, and user-friendly features, this series is an outstanding choice for anyone serious about sound quality and aesthetics in their listening environment. Whether used for music, movies, or gaming, the Twin X Series promises a captivating auditory experience.
