Wharfedale Pro has introduced the Sigma Series of passive loudspeakers for fixed installations.
With an unobtrusive design, the Sigma Series is aimied at installations where audio quality, rigging options and discreet cosmetics are critical. The series initially comprises four two-way models (8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch) and an 18-inch subwoofer. All models are available in black and white finishes.
Each Sigma model features the latest proprietary Wharfedale Pro driver technology. Using a curvilinear, double-roll surround system for the LF driver, Wharfedale Pro engineers have ensured stability for low- through to mid-range frequencies. The HF compression driver features a 44mm diaphragm using a solid aluminium rear plate, which assists heat dissipation in demanding environments.
Constructed from up to 18mm of MDF, the height and overall size of the cabinet has been reduced thanks to a newly-developed angled-corner port system. These ports have been individually tuned to maximise low -end punch.
The cabinets of the 10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch models feature dual-angle pole mount sockets to ensure that the HF hits the target. All two-way models have comprehensive rigging options offered by five M8 points.
For physical protection, all SIGMAs are coated in the latest generation chip resistant Rhino Rock paint.
‘We previewed the Sigma series to our distributors received very positive reactions,’ Wharfedale Pro says. ‘Our Engineers had researched the market and listened to many installers requests. The result is Sigma which offers the installer an MDF alternative in a category and at a price point which historically has been forced towards plastics.’
The Sigma Series is shipping now.
