The prestigious brand founded in 1932 by the remembered Gilbert Briggs He has just announced the exit to the market of an exquisite monitor integrated in his iconic Heritage series: Aston Heritge Edition. Of ultracompacts dimensions and set up by the team led by the Charismatic Peter Comeauthis proposal masterfully exemplifies Wharfedale’s legacy in design and manufacture of acoustic boxes through the search for the perfect balance between fine handicraft and sound naturalness. Entirely conceived, developed and built (by hand) In the United Kingdom with a production limited to 500 couples For everyone, Aston Heritage Edition is presented in a “vintage” aesthetic enclosure finished in noble wooden plates, which is complemented by acoustic and electroacoustic vanguard technology. Thus, and in line with the Wharfedale tradition, it incorporates a Media/Grave Transducer with intertwined carbon fiber cone, mounted in a chassis of extremely rigid molten metal and with a Magnetic engine very high power.
This solution allows minimize losses of energy in the cone transfer mechanism, the latter accompanied by a New phase modifier with the aim of increasing musicality of the middle/high zone of the spectrum. On the other hand, high frequencies are managed by a soft dome tweeter Post to point through the combination of computer modeling and experimentation on the ground by an expert ears panel. In this way a perfect synergy is achieved with the aforementioned “Midwoofer” in order to obtain the latest in resolution and delicacy in the restitution of the most subtle harmonic nuances. To manage this set of transducers, a F is in chargeFrequency Divicer Illuer executed with audiophile grade components, defined after 1,000 hours of listening tests. Also the panels that constitute the enclosure have been carefully made using a mixture formed by layers of various types of wood, whose definitive structure has been the fruit of complex tests and computer simulations.
Thanks to this, a exhaustive resonances control that together with the management of interior air pressure via two rear base-reflex ports results in the possibility of achieving some Sound pressure levels generous and distortion -free to 50 Hz frequencies. On the other hand, the calculated front panel profile maximizes sound dispersion, while minimizes the colorationto the point of achieving almost holographic proportions of each recording easily associated with that of a much larger size speakers system. Finally, let’s point out that there is a Tailor -made soil support Created by the same team as the Aston Heritage Edition with the purpose of further refining its extraordinary musicality in all kinds of spaces.
