Wharfedale Evo 4.4 Floorstanding Speakers

Inspired by ELYSIAN: A Technological Leap

The Wharfedale EVO4 series builds upon the innovations of the flagship ELYSIAN loudspeakers, incorporating much of their advanced technology. Central to the EVO4's design is the Air Motion Transformer (AMT), which redefines how high-frequency detail is reproduced with remarkable efficiency and precision. The cabinet design, borrowing from ELYSIAN, features radiused edges that enhance driver integration with room acoustics. Additionally, the inclusion of the unique SLPP bass reflex system ensures the EVO4 series delivers exceptional performance at an accessible price, making it a true evolution in affordable Hi-Fi.

Revolutionary High-Frequency Reproduction

At the heart of the EVO4's performance lies the specially engineered AMT transducer, which moves a greater volume of air than conventional soft dome tweeters. This high-pressure action ensures lower distortion and unparalleled clarity in high frequencies. The AMT's design produces a more refined point-source sound, delivering smooth, detailed performance. Combined with its superior engineering, the AMT transducer sets the EVO4 series apart as a high-frequency powerhouse, enriching the listening experience with stunning musical detail.

Advanced Midrange and Bass Performance

To complement the AMT, Wharfedale developed a responsive dome midrange with an impressive 800Hz to 5kHz bandwidth, achieved through an aperiodically vented, damped rear chamber. This ensures linear, efficient, and dynamic performance, perfectly matched to the AMT. The EVO4’s bass performance is equally impressive, utilising the low-distortion motor system from the ELYSIAN series. With a woven Kevlar cone and low-loss rubber surround, it delivers deep, powerful bass alongside a natural lower midrange response, offering a cohesive and immersive soundstage.

Precision Engineering for Seamless Sound

The EVO4's bass units feature the advanced SLPP (Slot Loaded Profiled Port), which channels low-frequency energy through a slot at the speaker’s base, balancing internal and external pressures for enhanced bass reproduction. Bringing it all together, Wharfedale employs a meticulously designed crossover network, fine-tuned through extensive listening tests. Using premium components like polypropylene capacitors and air core inductors, the crossover ensures seamless integration of the drivers, delivering a harmonious and transparent audio performance.
