Product Information
”Fluid, composed and consistent, these speakers are the best you'll get at this price.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2024 award-winner.
The legend continues
It was way back in 1982 when the Wharfedale Diamond first redefined expectations of small speakers. The original model proved that a small speaker didn't necessarily need to sound 'small', that a budget speaker could sound full-bodied without being intrusive. The latest Diamond 12.1 is true to the original’s ethos and has already proved to be a big hit.
Flexible speaker
The beauty with compact Diamond speakers is their sheer versatility - and the 12.1 is no different. The compact size and high sensitivity makes them the ideal companion for mini systems or hi-fi separates systems alike. They're also easy to place, working well close to or away from the rear wall. If you're looking for quality home cinema speakers, they also work exceptionally well as satellite speakers - there's even a centre speaker to match.
Ground-up redesign
Although this is a compact speaker with all the Diamond traits in place, the design is completely new. Making use of powerful computer modelling, the Diamond 12.1 is engineered to perform. Totally new drive units use a motor system more typically used in professional speakers – giving excellent power handling and low distortion. The new Klarity cone material uses a hybrid construction to give lightning-fast response in the bass and mid-range, while the woven textile tweeter delivers the perfect balance between detail and refinement.
Choice of finishes
Available in black, light oak or walnut finishes, the 12.1 suits a wide range of decors. The cabinet itself is engineered from differing thicknesses of MDF to control resonance. Combined with the strategic bracing, this makes it solid and free from the distorting ‘boxy’ sound that can afflict smaller speakers. In short, you get to hear the soul of your music, distortion-free.
With a fresh new design, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 is still the small speaker to beat.

The perfect match for a Diamond AV speaker system
With matching aesthetics and drive unit design, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.C centre makes the ideal centre speaker to match up with other Diamond 12 speakers in a surround sound set up. Use either Diamond 12.1s or 12.2s as satellite speakers all around or match with larger Diamond 12.3 or 12.4 floorstanders at the front, and you have a perfectly matched speaker system. Alternatively, the crisp and precise vocals make the Diamond 12.C ideal as a centre speaker upgrade from more basic speaker systems.
Immersive sound
Featuring twin cones, the 12.C centre speaker delivers a wide, immersive sound. Effortlessly filling the space between the front speakers, the 12.C brings cinematic movies to life.

With its powerful amp and long-throw bass cone, the Wharfedale SW-10 subwoofer gets you deeper into your music and movies.
Deep, powerful bass
The 10 inch woofer cone is designed for long travel, meaning the SW-10 shifts a large volume of air, producing deep and powerful bass. Power is nothing without control, which is why the cone features copper-lined centre vents for reduced distortion.
High-powered amplification for precision sound and high efficiency
The subwoofer packs a powerful yet efficient Class-D built-in amplifier. With a substantial power rating of 200 watts, peaking at an immense 350 watts, the built-in amplifier offers cast-iron control of the bass, whatever the volume.
Get the perfect balance in your room
Volume and crossover controls tailor the sound for just the right level of bass for your room. They also ensure that the sub is perfectly matched to your existing speakers. Switchable phase control means that the sub can be placed behind you and still work in harmony with the front speakers.
Sleek good looks
Available in black or white finishes, the SW-10 effortlessly blends with a wide range of other speakers – especially Wharfedale’s own Diamond series. The crisp style gives a timeless appeal. A removable fabric grille protects the woofer cone.
Get a boost to your bottom line, with the Wharfedale SW-10.
