Wharfedale WXT04 User manual

Wharfedale’s revolutionary new

LoudPanel™ speakers are totally

different to traditional

loudspeakers. Instead of a wooden

box with cone-type drive units it

creates a full spectrum of sounds

from a thin flat panel. After 5

years of intensive development

work Wharfedale has perfected the

LoudPanel which works rather like

the sound board in a piano. Striking

a piano string on its own hardly

produces any sound but when the

string is stretched over a sound

board the piano notes can be loud

enough to fill a concert hall. In the

LoudPanel a small transducer

vibrates the panel with the music

signal and then the panel

acoustically amplifies the sound to

normal listening levels.

CEILING TILE

Supermarke

Retail

m

m

Designed for background music and public

address applications in offices, hotels,

retail sites and other public places. This

unique product is visually identical to a

suspended ceiling tile. It can be fixed in

place in seconds - simply remove the

existing ceiling tile, replace it with the

WXT-04 ceiling tile LoudPanel™ and

connect the wires. Most importantly its

non-directional nature means that it

reproduces crystal clear music and voice

evenly over a wider area. Even more

dramatic, due to its disperse wavefront,

is the lack of interference between

multiple LoudPanels™ , or

from reflective boundaries.

In fact this new generation

of products work better

than ever in acoustically

reflective environments,

making for more effective

communication and safer

public spaces. Available in

100V line or direct line

(nominal 8Ohm) versions in

plain white, textured pattern or fissured

patterned finishes.

WALL

Wharfedale’s LoudPanel™

wall speakers can be hung on

walls just like paintings or

photographs. Indeed they can

be painted or covered with

photo prints or posters to

become the speakers that

can be heard but never seen

for what they are.

Not only does the

LoudPanel™ offer an original

and space efficient solution

to venue installations but

our new technology

reproduces music

everywhere in the room

with clarity and naturalness.

With a flat in-room

frequency response and

excellent integration into

reverberant environment

the LoudPanel™ actually

thrives on the problems that

defeat conventional

loudspeakers.
