Reasons to be cheerful, 1…2….3
A THREE-WAY SYSTEM – with matching subs.
Built exclusively to deliver incredible sonic definition at high volumes, Reason-X series brings new concepts and new qualities to become the premium pro audio loudspeaker series in the Wharfedale Pro portfolio.
The full range models (X12 and X15) feature an all-new Polyethylene flat diaphragm neodymium HF. This highly engineered Z38 HF compression driver brings extreme HF clarity. Enormous cooling fins disperse the heat generated and the unique 1.5 inch ring-shaped polyethylene flat diaphragm delivers a precious feeling of space and air to high frequencies.
The 100° x 70° waveguide is also rotatable, making Reason-X suitable for high quality installations and touring.
The mid-range comes from a custom Wharfedale Pro 8” driver with an aluminium basket and ferrite magnet and it delivers a warmth and clarity. Meanwhile, the LF driver boasts a 3.0” voice coil and large φ190mm ferrite magnet. This 3-way combination gives the Reason series full range models a frequency response and audio definition that simply has to be experienced.
The series is completed by 2 subwoofers. A single 18” and a floor destroying 148dB Max SPL dual 18”. New LF drivers have been created which feature NOMEX spiders for extreme suspension and durability. 4.0” voice coils and a newly designed aluminium basket make these LF transducers impossible to describe in words – they need listening to instead!
All models are constructed of premium baltic birch and use thick steel front grilles for extreme durability.
