Wharfedale Diamond 12i Series: Kings of 'Sound Per Pound' Reimagined
Welcome to AUDIOHUB, your official authorised dealer for Wharfedale in the UAE and GCC region. We are proud to introduce the new, improved Wharfedale Diamond 12i Series—the latest evolution of an iconic hi-fi lineage that continues to set the benchmark for high-performance, high-value loudspeakers worldwide.
Building on more than five years of critical acclaim, award wins, and best-selling status, the Diamond 12i range refines Wharfedale’s legendary formula. Featuring luxurious modern finishes, acoustic enhancements, and signature Klarity™ driver technology, the Diamond 12i Series brings true audiophile performance and cinema-grade impact directly to your living space with full regional warranty support from AUDIOHUB.
A Design Legacy with a Contemporary Edge
Designed to blend effortlessly into modern Middle Eastern interiors, the Wharfedale Diamond 12i Series introduces three premium semi-matte cabinet finishes:
-
All-Black: A deep, rich semi-matte finish offering a sleek, minimalist aesthetic.
-
Classic Walnut: A timeless wood grain paired with a clean semi-matte black baffle for a sophisticated contrast.
-
Stone Grey: A bold, contemporary finish suited for modern, Scandinavian-inspired homes.
Every cabinet features a multi-layered sandwich construction with intelligent spot bracing, engineered via computer modeling to kill panel resonance and keep your audio pure, transparent, and authoritative.
Engineered for Spatial Flexibility: Closed-Box Architecture
Unlike its rear-ported stereo counterparts, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.Ci Center Channel features a sealed, closed-box enclosure. Developed through extensive laser interferometry and empirical testing led by Wharfedale’s Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau, this design specifically targets home theater performance:
-
Placement Versatility: Can be placed directly inside TV media units, AV furniture, or mounted close to back walls without boomy bass interference.
-
Vocal Precision: Delivers tight, fast low-frequency control to ensure film dialogue and music vocals remain razor-sharp and articulate.
-
Seamless Integration: Creates an effortless, phase-coherent soundstage when paired with Diamond 12i bookshelf or floorstanding main speakers.
