ABOUT YOUR LOUDSPEAKER
The Evolution² series is a range of versatile loudspeakers equally outstanding in
both Audio-Visual and 2-Channel applications. When used in Home Cinema
systems with the designed DFS surround loudspeaker and the SW range of sub-
woofers, they offer a performance unsurpassed in their class.
These loudspeakers exhibit exceptional performance characteristics based upon
the following concepts.
Very low distortion across the entire audio band.
Low excursion requirement of the cone drivers.
High flux magnet systems enabling good dynamic response and impulse
control.
Broadband dispersion for excellent stereo image and staging.
Careful attention to component design, operation, integration and acoustics.
THE CABINET
The enclosure of your speaker is finished to a high-quality furniture standard.
Real wood veneers are selected and carefully pattern matched by hand. Over a
period of several days a high quality hard lacquer finish is achieved. This
involves the application of several coatings of lacquers, each being cut and pol-
ished before the next coat is applied. Only through this time-consuming and
skilled technique, can we achieve the deep and lustrous finish that is the char-
acteristic hallmark of Wharfedale premium loudspeakers.
Instead of the usual cuboid shape , Evo² loudspeaker cabinets feature a beauti-
ful curvaceous design, with a special purpose; - to reduce to negligible levels
internal cabinet standing waves and reflections. Skilful engineering in ‘MDF’
(Medium Density Fibre Board), universally known to be one of the best enclo-
sure materials, has resulted in an ideally shaped, very strong, internally multiple
braced, low resonance structure.
Parallel-sided tall boxes promote the creation of unwanted acoustic waveforms
within the box by reflection up and down its length; these both add and sub-
tract at different frequencies, creating anomalies in the forward response. The
multiple curved and braced interior of the Evo² cabinet prevents this - the result
is a soundstage of unexampled clarity and precision with pinpoint imaging, even
frequency distribution and inherently low coloration.
