Wharfedale Pro SI-18BX - Manual (Page 4)

SI-X ™ Series
INTRODUCTION
Thank You
Wharfedale SI-X ™ Series loudspeakers are the result of many years of experience in the use, design and
manufacturing of professional loudspeaker products. We take great pride in engineering and building every
Wharfedale Pro loudspeaker and wish to thank you for entrusting us with your sound.
From the time Gilbert Briggs built his first loudspeaker in 1932, to the present, Wharfedale Loudspeakers
have maintained the same standard of quality in components, workmanship and performance. Actually,
Wharfedale is one of a few present day manufacturers that design, engineer and build all of their own
transducers.
Please take a few minutes to read this manual completely in order to ensure that you get the most out of
your SI-X ™ Series Loudspeaker system.
SI-X ™ SERIES OVERVIEW:
The SI-X ™ Series are powerful, accurate, high quality loudspeaker systems with low distortion that were
designed to deliver high quality sound for the best value. From the SI-10X to the SI-15X plus three high
power subs, you have what it takes to assemble the system that your music deserves.
An important factor in loudspeakers is the smoothness of the sound coverage. Many speakers that may
sound acceptable in the horizontal plane have problems in the vertical plane. The SI-X ™ speakers exhibit
very smooth and well-behaved sound dispersion characteristics in both the horizontal and vertical planes
making positioning and set-up less critical. Everyone in the room will hear the same quality sound. Because
of the multi-faceted cabinet design, the SI-X speakers can be positioned on the floor as a stage monitor or
mounted on a wall or ceiling (using the U-shaped brackets included with the speaker).
The SI-X ™ Series rugged cabinets feature 20 x M8 threaded inserts to facilitate the safe installation of the
loudspeaker. See pages 7 and 8 for details on the configuration of the M8 inserts.
WHAT ABOUT THE SI-X SERIES?
Wharfedale SI-X ™ Series foreground/back-ground music and sound reinforcement speakers are designed
for demanding professional installations, i.e. venues as diverse as live performance halls, airports, houses
of worship, schools, retail shops, restaurants and public houses.
The SI-X ™ Series loudspeakers are high quality speaker systems designed to provide the best sound in a
powerful, feature laden, easy to use package. They are designed to provide transparent and accurate
sound reproduction or reinforcement. The 25.4mm (1”) Titanium high frequency drivers project crystal clear
high frequencies. A proprietary 70° x 70° High Frequency Horn delivers the high frequencies in a well
defined, even coverage pattern. Dynamic passages, such as the crack of a snare drum or the report of a
cannon, come through just like the real thing.
