THE 80 SERIES is the latest model to join Wharfedale's range of professional installation loudspeakers. Its pedigree stems from the successful Prog. 30D, one of the accepted standards in CD Jukebox extension speaker installation and the ever popular 2180. It is an attractive 2 way system designed for wall or shelf mounting, equally at home in a portrait or landscape orientation.
The philosophy behind these loudspeakers is simple. To further extend Wharfedale's reputation for excellent sound quality whilst employing innovative design to give a distinctive yet discrete appearance to these loudspeaker systems.
Traditionally the loudspeaker placement in rooms has been dominated by the needs of stereo reproduction and consequently most positions are a compromise enforced by the directionality of conventional loudspeakers.
However, Wharfedale's innovative solution is to use the 'Baker Effect', a phenomenon first noted in the 1930's. By mounting two hf drive units perpendicular to each other, and carefully contouring the crossover network, Wharfedale has been able to reproduce a dramatic stereo effect in almost any listening position.
