Value and Performance: Bidirectional Woofers, Air Motion Transform Tweeter, and Computer-Optimized Crossover Elevate Wharfedale EVO 4.3 Floor-Standing Loudspeakers
Packed with technology from Wharfedale's Elysian flagship, the EVO 4.3 floor-standing loudspeaker delivers extra-wide soundstages, copious detail, and taut deep bass. Refined and engineered to the nth degree, the 3-way design produces a satisfyingly smooth sound that aims to set a new standard at its price point.
To understand EVO 4.3's high-value quotient, you only need to look (and listen) to its dual five-inch, bidirectional, black-woven Kevlar cone woofers. Their self-damping material reduces and distributes resonances to extremely low levels. In addition, a fixed, profiled phase plug ensures smooth acoustic roll-off that enables the drivers to seamlessly mesh with a specially designed Air Motion Transformer tweeter and two-inch silk midrange drivers. No wonder EVO 4.3 plays with well-dispersed high frequencies, articulate nuances, and palpable soundstaging.
The crossover Wharfedale newly developed for EVO 4.3 also deserves special mention. Using the company's custom-designed Computer Aided Optimization technology during extensive listening tests, Wharfedale engineers carefully fine-tuned the crossover to the point that EVO 4.3 achieves balanced integration of its driver, woofer, and tweeter – allowing the speaker to draw all attention to the music program at hand. Indeed, EVO 4.3 provides the detail audiophiles love and the dynamics home-theater enthusiasts crave.
Measuring 34.4 x 9.3 x 12.0 inches (HWD) and weighing a shade more than 38 pounds, EVO 4.3 fits in tight spaces all the while its 90dB sensitivity means it can be driven by a wide range of amplifiers. Discover EVO 4.3 for yourself with the security of our Satisfaction Guarantee.
Beauty with Purpose
The EVO4 cabinet is purpose -esigned from the ground-up. Not just the sleek curves, which stand out from the competition, but the materials, composites, internal bracing and damping too. All of this ensures the sonic character is not compromised by aesthetic.
AMT
The AMT (Air Motion Transformer) high frequency transducer excels above any rival model within this class. The point-source replicating, high volume air movement results in lower distortion and higher accuracy in HF reproduction.
Accuracy
Articulate and accurate bass is perfected by the bidirectional weaved Kevlar cones - a material that is naturally self-damping to reduce and distribute resonances to virtually negligible levels. In addition, a fixed, profiled phase plug ensures smooth acoustic roll-off, further aiding integration with the AMT unit and midrange drivers.
Finely Tuned
As per the uncompromising workflow and standard of Wharfedale loudspeaker development, hundreds of hours of listening plus custom-designed Wharfedale Computer Aided Optimization technology allows for the fine tuning of the crossover, perfecting the combination of the driver selection for ultimate performance.
