Description

Still compact but with increased cabinet volume and driver size for even more potency, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 Bookshelf Speakers offer a little more from a traditional bookshelf speaker format and embody the history and performance values of the Wharfedale DIAMOND series.

Perfect for larger rooms and more powerful 2-channel hi-fi systems, the DIAMOND 12.2 features a high-performance 6.5-inch Klarity driver for extended, tight bass. A superb 1-inch woven polyester dome tweeter for open and smoothly extended high frequencies.

Klarity affords focus

As with all Diamond 12 models, the Diamond 12.2 uses the famed Klarity polypropylene cones, which are renowned for their characteristically low distortion and controlled โ€˜breakupโ€™.

Low colour and expression

To make Klarity, Wharfedale adds mica to the formulation. This increases sti๏ฌ€ness compared to polypropylene alone and reduces ๏ฌ‚exing. This creates a lightweight cone with high rigidity, low colouration, and lightning-fast responseโ€”ideal for both accuracy and excitement.

A magnet of forces

A substantial, precision-made magnet system drives Klarity diaphragms, with an aluminium compensation ring to minimise the e๏ฌ€ect of variations in inductance as the voice coil travels. This further contributes to an absence of distortion and intermodulation generated by the motor system.

A voice coil beyond this class

The voice coil is wound on a high-power epoxy/glass ๏ฌbre bobbinโ€”highly unusual in speakers at this price level. This has the advantage of not adding eddy currents and delivering greater power handling than an aluminium bobbin, while also being much sti๏ฌ€er than the Kapton type.

DIAMOND highs

The 25mm dome is made from a woven polyester film with a high-loss coating to deliver open and smoothly extended high frequencies. The magnet system and the front plate are optimal for wide dispersion and uncompressed behaviour. The front plate is flat and exposes the dome as much as possible, with a short duct to balance the acoustic load and improve the SPL (sound pressure level) measurement.

Cabinet Bracing

Inside the cabinet, Intelligent Spot Bracing connects opposing walls with a specific form of wood brace to reduce cabinet resonance. These braces are precisely modelled by computer simulation to improve upon the โ€˜figure of eightโ€™ brace, which can transfer resonance from one wall to another.
