Wharfedale Pro has announced its adooption of a new Tough-Tone paint finish, a polyurea-based paint finish that promises ‘an advancement in loudspeaker durability and maintenance’, superseding the previous sand-based Rhino Rock paint finish. The decision to move to Tough-Tone paint is based on customer feedback and the fact that Wharfedale Pro products are used in a wide range of demanding environments.
‘Our Tough-Tone paint finish has been engineered to withstand the most demanding environments,’ explains Wharfedale Pro Sales Director, Simon Godfrey. ‘Its exceptional durability ensures that Wharfedale Pro loudspeakers maintain their appearance and structural integrity over prolonged periods of use.’
The properties of Tough-Tone paint also allow easy touch-ups and cleaning, allowing minor imperfections to be corrected, further prolonging the longevity of Wharfedale Pro products.
‘The introduction of Tough-Tone is a significant milestone for Wharfedale Pro,’ Godfrey continues. ‘We are dedicated to consistently enhancing the quality of our products to meet the evolving needs of our customers. The decision to transition to the Tough-Tone stems directly from customer feedback.’
While Tough-Tone paint offers heightened durability, the colour matching closely resembles their classic Rhino Rock finish, ensuring a smooth transition for all users.
The rollout of the Tough-Tone finish will begin with the brand’s WLA line array series (excluding the waterproof WLA-XF series) from September 2023. Other models, including the Delta Series, Evo-X Series, Focus Series, Impact-X Series, Reason-X Series, GPL Series and the T-Sub-AX15B will receive the upgraded finish from October onwards.
