The Wharfedale Diamond 12i Series

Since 1982, the Wharfedale Diamond series has served as the gold standard for entry-level high fidelity. The previous Diamond 12 range was a global sensation, but Wharfedale has never been a brand to rest on its laurels.

At Digital Cinema, we are excited to announce the arrival of the next evolution in this legendary lineage: the Wharfedale Diamond 12i Series.

What Does the "i" Mean for Your Music?

The "i" stands for Improved. While the iconic design remains familiar, Wharfedale’s engineering team—led by the renowned Peter Comeau—has utilized advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics and laser interferometry to refine the internal architecture.

As an authorized reseller, we’ve looked closely at these upgrades, and the improvements are far from "subtle":

  • Optimized Bass Ports: New internal airflow designs provide tighter, more articulate low-frequency control.
  • Superior Cabinet Damping: Revised internal materials significantly reduce "cabinet talk," ensuring the sound is cleaner and more transparent.
  • Stricter Manufacturing Standards: The high-performance Klarity™ drivers are now built to even tighter tolerances for better consistency and longevity.

Engineering Excellence Meets Modern Style

The 12i Series carries forward the signature technologies that made its predecessor a multi-award winner, including:

  • Klarity™ Cone Technology: A stiff, lightweight blend of polypropylene and mica for a fast, natural response.
  • Woven Polyester Tweeter: A 25mm dome designed for a smooth treble and a wide "sweet spot" in any room.
  • Premium Crossovers: High-end Linkwitz-Riley crossovers that are rarely found at this price point.

Wharfedale has also refreshed the aesthetics with three contemporary finishes designed to fit any Australian home: All-Black, Classic Walnut, and the striking new Stone Grey.
