It was specifically designed to bridge the gap between affordability and high-end performance. A notable feature of this series is the EVO AMT (Air Motion Transformer) high-frequency unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-3 h2 text-left\"\u003eFrequencies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-justify\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAMT Tweeter for Precision and Detail: In developing the new EVO 5 series, Wharfedale has further evolved the cutting-edge Air Motion Transformer (AMT). The AMT is a type of high-frequency driver used in speakers, known for its exceptional accuracy, speed, and low distortion compared to traditional dome treble units.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstead of using a conventional dome or cone to push air forward, an AMT uses a pleated diaphragm made of an ultra-thin, lightweight material (often a polymer film). Strong magnets are positioned on either side of the diaphragm, creating a powerful magnetic field. When an audio signal is passed through the conductive traces, the diaphragm is energised, causing the pleats to contract and expand. As the pleats move, they \"squeeze\" and \"expand\" the air between them, pushing it out in a highly controlled and efficient manner. This method allows the AMT to move four times more air than a traditional dome tweeter of the same surface area, leading to lower distortion (since the diaphragm moves less than a typical dome or ribbon), faster transient response (due to the lightweight material and minimal movement), wider frequency range and better dispersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-3 h2 text-left\"\u003eLower-Midrange and Bass Refinements for Unparalleled Vocal Reproduction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-justify\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnhanced Midrange: A new technique, labelled Resoseal™, sees a thin mass ring of elastomer applied to the rear of the cone where it meets the surround. This further optimises midrange frequency response, allowing vocals to sound richer, more naturaLower-Midrange and Bass Refinements for Unparalleled Vocal Reproductionl, and more emotionally engaging. This subtle yet critical enhancement ensures a refined and immersive listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-3 h2 text-left\"\u003eReengineered Cabinetry for Superior Resonance Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-justify\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach model in the EVO 5 series now features an optimally increased internal cabinet volume. The expanded cabinet volume contributes to deeper bass extension and improved overall sound dispersion, creating a more immersive and expansive audio field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe inclusion of a hybrid plinth, which combines metal and wood elements of the cabinet’s details, enhances structural integrity and reduces unwanted vibrations. This innovative base ensures that sound remains clean and uncoloured, free from external resonance artefacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-3 h2 text-left\"\u003eEVO 5 Stands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-justify\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the EVO 5.1 and EVO 5.2 loudspeakers, specially designed stands are offered to ensure the perfect synergy between form and function. Crafted from high-carbon steel, these stands provide exceptional strength and stability while effectively minimising unwanted vibrations and interactions with floor surfaces that could compromise sound quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngineered with precision, they position the loudspeakers at the ideal listening height, ensuring an immersive and well-balanced audio experience across various seating positions. Their understated yet elegant design seamlessly complements the aesthetic of the EVO 5 series, maintaining the refined and sophisticated appeal of the speakers themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"black-ash","offer_id":56215554883970,"sku":null,"price":549.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"white","offer_id":56215554916738,"sku":null,"price":549.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"brown-1","offer_id":56215554949506,"sku":null,"price":549.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"gray","offer_id":56215554982274,"sku":null,"price":549.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/6652\/0962\/files\/EVO5.1StandardBlack1_I.webp?v=1768427635","url":"https:\/\/premiumhomeaudio.co.uk\/products\/wharfedale-evo-5-1","provider":"Premium Home Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
