- Bemerkung
-
The 1960s Wharfedale Airedale speaker enclosure was a free-standing assembly designed for corner and along-the-wall placement. It featured a robust construction with several key technical aspects:
Cabinet Design
- One-piece, free-standing assembly
- Suitable for corner or along-the-wall placement
- Sand-filled front panel to reduce cabinet resonance
- Ceramic tiles fitted to rear side panels for further resonance control
- Total weight exceeding 3/4 cwt (approximately 38 kg)
- Fitted with castors for easy movement
Driver Configuration
- Three-way speaker system:
- 15" W15RS bass driver with high-flux magnet and heavy cone
- 8" Super 8CS mid-range driver
- 3" Super 3 treble driver
- Upward-facing mid-range and treble drivers for omnidirectional sound dispersion
Crossover and Impedance
- Half-section three-way crossover unit
- Crossover frequencies: 400 Hz and 5000 Hz
- Impedance: 12/15 ohms
Power Handling
- Maximum input power: 20 watts
Controls
- Individual controls for middle and treble response
- Located on the rear panel
Airedale's design focused on achieving natural sound reproduction, particularly in terms of a clean bass response and an airy treble presentation.
The Airedale model evolved, with several iterations following the original 1960s version:
- Airedale SP, 4-Way Loudspeaker System (1970s): This version was produced in the 1970s and was considered the top-of-the-line model in the SP series.
- Airedale Heritage Classic, 4-Way, 5 drivers Loudspeaker System (2001-04)
- Airedale Heritage, 4-Way Loudspeaker System (2005-08)
- Airedale Neo, 3-Way Loudspeaker System (2005-08)
