Wharfedale's commitment to home theatre design has been consistent for many years and product series. It is clear to see the DIAMOND 12 series' success in this category. Now, with the DIAMOND IW and DIAMOND OW models, the emphasis is on hearing rather than seeing, allowing for a truly immersive audio experience.

The latest in-wall and on-wall options have been designed with a focus on the celebrated DIAMOND 12 principles. These options are equipped with the innovative Klarity™ cone material, which is a blend of Polypropylene and mica. This unique blend adds stiffness to the cones, reducing any flexing. As a result, the cones are incredibly lightweight, rigid and have lightning-fast response times. The result is a loudspeaker with low colouration that will impress even the most discerning audiophile - a basis that easily translates to the world of home cinema.

The Klarity™ cone material is made from a unique blend of Polypropylene and mica, which gives it the ability to reduce flexing and add stiffness. This results in a cone that is lightweight, rigid, and has lightning-fast response times. The low-damping surround on the cone achieves both low colouration and expressive dynamics. To achieve a flat response curve without resorting to a high-damping surround; ribs were added for further stiffening. The magnet system is also precision-made with an aluminium compensation ring to minimise the effect of variations in inductance. The end product strikes the perfect balance of dynamics and impact, with detail and depth of projection.

The DIAMOND IW models come in two forms - IW-1 with a 165mm (6.5") mid-bass driver and 25mm (1") soft-dome HF, or IW-2 with dual 165mm (6.5") mid-bass drivers and the same 1" soft-dome HF. The precision-machined baffle is expertly designed to offer a sturdy foundation for high-performance applications.

The cabinets are incredibly sturdy and well-constructed, with specially crafted bracing that adds strength and stability. Its design minimises any unwanted vibrations, ensuring a pure, resonant sound for enhanced depth and impact.

Both IW and OW models come with easy-mounting templates and accessories for a stable and secure installation.
