Description du produit
The Wharfedale EVO 5.2 is a high-performance, 3-way stand-mount (bookshelf) speaker that builds directly on the success of the popular EVO 4 series. Designed using trickle-down technology from Wharfedale's flagship Elysian series, it offers a warm, refined, and expansive sound signature without the high-end audiophile price tag.
Key Features & Upgrades
-
3-Way Driver Layout: Unlike typical 2-way bookshelf speakers, the EVO 5.2 isolates low, mid, and high frequencies using a 6.5" woven Kevlar woofer, a dedicated 2" soft-dome midrange, and a fast 35×70 mm Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter.
- Bigger AMT & Enhanced Damping: The updated AMT tweeter features natural-fiber damping and elastomer faceplates to smooth out lower treble, eliminating harshness while retaining detail and airiness.
- Tri-Directional Bass Port: Utilizes Wharfedale's Slot-Loaded Profiled Port (SLPP) system, firing downward into a base plinth that vents to the left, right, and rear. This makes placement significantly more forgiving when placed closer to rear walls.à
- Larger Cabinet: The EVO 5.2 cabinet volume is slightly larger than the older EVO 4.2, providing deeper bass extension (down to 44 Hz at ±3 dB) and a fuller sound that rivals small floorstanders.
