”Wharfedale’s smallest home cinema speaker package delivers big sound.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 award-winner.
Award-winning heritage
Following on from the DX-2, perhaps the most highly reviewed speaker package in its category, the DX-3 has an unbeatable heritage of excellence. The winning form continues with the latest speakers, which are closely related to Wharfedale’s equally renowned Diamond 12 series. With such a blend of talent in the mix, it’s little wonder that the Wharfedale DX-3 sounds so impressive.
Full-range satellite speakers for dynamic sound
Based on Wharfedale’s Diamond 12 series technology, the four satellite speakers deliver a much fuller and more rounded sound than most satellite designs. Although slightly larger than some, the benefit to sound quality is huge. All four speakers are a two-way design with dedicated silk dome tweeter and woven polypropylene woofer. Along with the rigid cabinets, it’s these drivers that produce the precise, dynamic sound that’s perfect for delivering immersive soundtracks and special effects around your room.
Dedicated centre speaker delivers vocal clarity
Designed specifically for the purpose, the DX-3’s centre speaker utilises an aperiodic layout for the clearest vocals. The horizontal format speaker uses twin woofers, giving you a broad spread of sound between the front speakers, without ‘gaps’ in the sound stage. The design also helps tie the sound to the screen, especially when used with a large screen TV or projector.
Powerful bass response
For that edge-of-seat, cinematic thrill, a powerful bass response is a must, and that’s exactly what the DX-3’s subwoofer provides. With its 8” cone and 75 watt active amplifier, it masters every bass scenario with ease. From an energetic soundtrack to a stadium rock concert, the bass is always there to be felt as well as heard. Auto on/off means that you can place the subwoofer out of sight, without having to reach the controls. Phase inversion lets you position the subwoofer behind you, if needed.
Choice of finish
Available in Black oak or Walnut finishes, the DX-3 speaker pack makes a great match for a wide range of decors. Should you choose to upgrade any of the speakers, such as swapping the front speakers for floorstanders, you’ll find the finishes and aesthetics tie in well with Wharfedale’s other speaker ranges.
For a home cinema speaker package that sparkles with talent, take a listen to the Wharfedale DX-3.
