The Wharfedale design principle
has, since our foundation in 1932,
been one of simple execution and
vertical component synergy. This
principle is manifest within Opus
2
.
Every component, sub-assembly,
even the crossover elements are
manufactured entirely in-house to
a standard commensurate with
the product and with regard to
every other component within the
loudspeaker.
Through this vertical integration we
are able to ensure the cabinets fit
the drive units, that the operating
spectrum of the drive units work
with each other and that the whole
is much greater than the sum of the
parts - perfect synergy.
This all-embracing approach to design
pays dividends in performance.
Because the crossover can be
relatively simple, phase linearity
is preserved, meaning the drive
units move in unison - a seamless
transition from one to the other
without disconnect or interference.
Because each drive unit is operating
so comfortably within its own
specification, the presentation is
relaxed and confident; powerful
and fulfilling.
Opus
2
loudspeakers have a further
feature - usually found only in the
highest quality professional recording
studios - a dome mid-range driver
capable of reproducing the entire
range of human vocal reproduction
- with a dispersion characteristic
which mimics the voice.
Through this synergy, Opus
2
achieves one of the most natural
presentations possible from a
moving-coil loudspeaker.
