Introducing 3 passive loudspeakers for discerning installations.

The WH-NEO series consists of 3 models (10”, 12” and 15”) and have been designed for installations where dispersion angles and consistent SPL are essential.

Using NEO magnets in both the HF compression driver and the LF transducer, the WH-NEO’s are comparatively lightweight and easy for the installer to handle. The LF uses a cast aluminium basket to strike a perfect balance between weight and rigidity. The titanium HF compression driver has increased radius and increased sensitivity (IRIS) and uses the rear aluminium plate to improve heat dissipation during prolonged periods of high power.

The 12” and 15” models also feature massive 3” LF voice coils. Once again this improves heat dissipation and increases power handling.

Coverage angles are different to other installation models in the Wharfedale Pro lineup. With a 70° x 70° rounded waveguide, the dispersion characteristic of the WH-NEO is smooth and consistent. This consistency of coverage makes an installation more predictable for the installer and system integrator.

All models feature 19 * M8 rigging points which allow for accurate positioning and superb versatility within the venue.

WH-NEO

Its a TRIO……of NEO.

Using neodymium magnets in both the LF and HF drivers, the new WH-NEO’s deliver high power handling from a lightweight and good looking installation-ready cabinet.
