Wharfedale Diamond 7.2 Mk 2.
Wharfedale has
been at the fore-front of enclosure
design for many years and has now
developed a radical new constructional method.
Conventional cabinets fix the front and rear panels rigidly
into the cabinet box and so the woofer cone vibrations are
transmitted through the whole cabinet. Each cabinet wall then vibrates adding colouration and dissipating sound energy.
By contrast the Diamond cabinet’s front and rear panels are made from Wharfedale’s unique acoustically dead
“AudioStealth” moulded rock polymer. They are then bolted together to form a structure that moves as a single panel and
which is isolated from the main cabinet body by compliant gaskets. The result? Lower cabinet vibrations mean
lower levels of colouration and a cleaner sound. Less energy loss means a tighter, louder bas
inary
port tubes are flared at the end
you see but plain at the other end.
The result is that the air can get into
the cabinet faster than it can get out
resulting in a pressure build up which
displaces the woofer cone so that it hits
its “end stops” sooner.
The Diamonds use Wharfedale’s
symmetrical ports through which air
flows equally well in either direction. The
result is the Diamond loudspeaker can
actually play louder and with less
distortion!
