Listed under: AV
Published: Thursday, August 04, 2011
Revered loudspeaker manufacturer Wharfedale has continued with its propensity for producing audio solutions that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also sonorous masterpieces with its latest range: the Jade Series. The range comprises four stereo speakers including two standmount models, the Jade-1 and Jade-3, and two floorstanders, the Jade-5 and Jade-7. On top of this the Jade Series also features two centre channel models, the Jade-C1 and Jade-C2, and a wall-mountable speaker for surround sound use, the Jade-SR.
Design features of the new range include unique cabinet construction, advanced drive unit design, phase linear crossover networks and aperiodic cabinet loading. Designed by Wharfedale’s in-house development team the production of the Jade Series was led by multi-award-winning speaker designer Peter Comeau, Director of Acoustic Design for IAG (Wharfedale’s parent company).
Talking about the new Jade Series Peter said: “While best known since the 1980s for bringing high quality sound to the masses with the groundbreaking Diamond loudspeakers, Wharfedale’s 79-year history contains an enviable catalogue of landmark designs at a wide variety of price points. Our aim with Jade is to establish a new standard in sound and build quality at a price level above the current Diamond 10 Series. Uncompromising in design and manufactured with care and precision, Jade loudspeakers are constructed using the finest materials available. Coupling traditional craftsmanship to the latest advances in acoustic technology, we are able to uphold Wharfedale’s tradition of sonic excellence and furniture-quality cabinet making that dates back to the company’s inception in 1932. The goal is to allow the listener to become involved in the musical performance by immersion in the full emotion and passion engendered by the original musicians. We call this the Wharfedale Experience.”
With prices starting at around £600 per pair the Jade Series comes in a selection of three finishes and is available now.
