10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the AV.com extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 60 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard AV.com and manufacturer warranty policies, and the AV.com terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

View Full Description

Wharfedale's esteemed Diamond series of speakers, renowned for their high performance and value, shines brighter than ever with the introduction of the Diamond 12 Series. Since their debut in 1982, the Diamond speakers have been the quintessential gateway to genuine high-fidelity audio, acclaimed for their outstanding value for money and winning numerous 'product of the year' awards both in the UK and globally.

For the creation of this new lineup, Wharfedale has, for the first time, joined forces with the globally acclaimed speaker designer, Karl-Heinz Fink. Fink's unparalleled ability to extract class-leading sound from modestly priced speakers has made a notable impact, and together with Wharfedale's acoustic engineering team, they have established a new benchmark for entry-level speakers.

Wharfedale approached the Diamond 12 Series as a chance to reinvent the range. Challenged by Wharfedale, Fink was tasked with maximising the sonic performance achievable at the Diamond series' traditional price points. Undertaking this challenge, Fink and the team embarked on creating entirely new designs, ensuring not a single component remained unchanged from the previous, more expensive Diamond 11 Series.

 

Klarity – The Difference is Clear

Wharfedale consistently pushes the boundaries of innovation to enhance audio immersion and enjoyment. Since 2001, Kevlar has been their material of choice when crafting Diamond series speaker cones. Yet, with the advent of their 12th iteration, they've introduced a novel proprietary composite material called Klarity™. This new material comprises polypropylene, a substance with low distortion qualities, enhanced with mica to boost stiffness and minimise flexing. The outcome is captivating audio marked by meticulous precision, vibrancy, and a rapid response.

Mid/Bass Drivers – Cone Surround

Historically, polypropylene cones paired with high-damping surrounds were used to smooth out the response curve, though this often led to restricted dynamics and a somewhat 'soft' bass. With the Diamond 12 Series, the goal was to marry the Klarity™ cone with a low-damping surround to achieve low colouration alongside vibrant dynamics. This complex challenge was achieved by experimenting with various cone shapes and incorporating ribs for extra stiffening. The result is a flat response curve that doesn't rely on high-damping surrounds, striking an optimal balance.

Mid/Bass Drivers - Magnet and Voice Coil

The Klarity™ cones are powered by a robust, precision-engineered magnet system, featuring an aluminium compensation ring to reduce inductance variations as the voice coil moves, ensuring a distortion and intermodulation-free performance from the motor system. Unique to this price category, the voice coil is wrapped around a high-power epoxy/glass fibre bobbin, avoiding eddy currents and offering superior power handling and stiffness compared to an aluminium bobbin or a Kapton alternative.

Treble Unit

The treble unit of the Diamond 12 Series features a 25mm dome crafted from woven polyester film, coated with a high-loss material to ensure open and effortlessly extended high frequencies. Its magnet system and front plate have been fine-tuned for broad dispersion and reduced compression. The front plate is designed to be flat, maximising the exposure of the dome and incorporating a short duct to evenly balance the acoustic load and enhance the sound pressure level (SPL) measurement.

Crossover

This treble unit integrates flawlessly with the mid/bass driver through a crossover network employing an acoustic LKR 24dB topology, which includes air core inductors typically seen in premium speakers. These inductors are preferred for their minimal distortion. Due to their higher resistance compared to standard laminated steel or ferrite core inductors, the magnetic structure of the mid/bass driver has been adjusted to counterbalance this, ensuring a rapid, clear bass response without inductor-related distortion.

Cabinet Construction

The cabinet plays an essential role in the performance of high-quality loudspeakers. At the entry-level position, compromises to the cabinet design and its materials are often made to reduce costs. This typically has a negative impact on performance regardless of the drive units' quality. To make sure this doesn't happen, Wharfedale Diamond 12 speakers are built with a sophistication usually seen in more expensive models.

Rear Ports

Excluding the 12.C which is not ported, each speaker's rear-ported enclosure is meticulously designed to ensure the internal volume complements the drive unit system for optimal sound. The cabinet walls are constructed from wood fibre boards of varying thicknesses to minimise the cabinet's own 'sound' and keep the drivers' output pure. Attention has been paid to the resonant characteristics of all materials used—even the glue—to ensure a natural, resonance-free listening experience that fully immerses the listener.

Bracing

Intelligent Spot Bracing is employed inside the cabinet, connecting opposing walls with specially designed wood braces to significantly reduce cabinet resonance. These braces, refined through computer simulations, offer an improvement over the traditional 'figure of eight' design, which may inadvertently spread resonance between walls.
