Wharfedale Evo 4.4 5.1 Pack (Black Wood)

”Wharfedale's Evo speakers remain unbeaten.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 award-winner.

Ideal for front AV speakers or stereo sound in a larger room
Standing well over 1 metre tall, the EVO 4.4 speakers suit medium-sized to larger rooms. They can either be used as they are, in stereo, or as part of an EVO AV speaker system, with matching centre and rear speakers available.

High technology from a heritage brand
Wharfedale are one of the UK’s best-known and widely respected speaker brands. The EVO 4.4 pays homage to Wharfedale’s rich heritage, without being shackled by it. Grown out of the extensive research and development that went into the reference ELYSIAN range, the EVO 4.4 has a technical spec well above most of its rivals. With its Air Motion Transformer tweeter, soft dome mid-range unit, twin Kevlar bass cones and SLPP bass reflex system, the EVO 4.4’s spec matches many speakers costing twice the price. Let alone its own.

Air Motion Transformer tweeter for super-detailed treble
The highly advanced AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter delivers class-leading detail and precision through its high-tech design. By squeezing the air between sound plates, the EVO 4.4 offers a highly consistent and precise top end that’s fast to respond to all types of music – making your favourite tunes sound more believable than ever.

Dedicated mid-range unit delivers sumptuous vocals
Usually found only on speakers costing in excess of four times the EVO 4.4’s price, the dedicated, soft dome mid-range brings vocals to life. With a top quality drive unit, dedicated to the mid-range, vocal reproduction is more accurate than ever with every breath (sometimes literally in some recordings) clearly defined. Other instruments in the mid-range, such as guitars, also benefit through higher resolution.

Powerful bass response
With twin, woven Kevlar bass cones, the EVO 4.4s certainly don’t lag when it comes to bottom end. Combined with a large cabinet, the drivers shift plenty of air, meaning you hear the deepest notes from your favourite movie soundtracks and music. Downwards firing bass ports integrate better with your room and also make the speakers easier to position as they don’t have to be quite so far away from the rear wall.

Sleek cabinets that sound as good as they look
Available in black, walnut and white finishes, the curved cabinet blends smoothly into your room. More than just enhancing the looks, however, those sensuous curves help enhance the sound quality, too. Curved sides help break internal standing waves for lower distortion. Internal bracing and composite damping also help in reducing distortion and in keeping the sound as smooth and accurate as possible.

Hear these award-winners for yourself and be prepared to hear a whole new layer of music.

”The more time you spend with it, the more you become aware of the fabulous detail retrieval it offers.” ’Hi-Fi Choice’ – Recommended.

Full-range speaker for smaller rooms
Based on the multi-award-winning 4.4 model, the EVO 4.2 delivers stunning, 3-way sound from a compact enclosure. Having three speaker drive units instead of the more usual two, means each area of the frequency response gets a dedicated driver for more detailed and precise sound. They can either be used as they are, in stereo, or as part of an EVO AV speaker system, with matching centre and rear speakers available.

Smooth, powerful bass
Featuring a Kevlar woofer cone, the EVO 4.2 delivers class-leading bass precision. With its high rigidity and low distortion movement, the EVO 4.2 follows bass lines intensely, producing a foot-tapping beat. Downwards firing bass ports integrate better with your room and also make the speakers easier to position as they can be placed closer to a rear wall.

Complete a sensational EVO AV speaker system, with the Wharfedale EVO 4.C.

The perfect match for the EVO 4 speakers
Just like the multi-award-winning EVO 4.4, the EVO 4.C uses a 3-way speaker system for the most intense detail. With the same drive unit layout as the EVO 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, the 4.C carries consistent tonality across the sound stage – meaning you’re less aware of the speakers themselves and more of the sound itself.

By squeezing the air between sound plates, the EVO 4.C offers a highly consistent and precise top end that’s fast to respond to all types of audio – helping to make music and dialogue sound more natural than ever.

Dedicated mid-range unit delivers sumptuous vocals
Usually only found on top-end centre speakers, often costing £1000s, the EVO 4.C uses a dedicated drive unit for the mid-range. The soft dome unit is there purely for mid-range dialogue and effects. The result is that you hear clean, articulate dialogue, with every breath clearly defined. With the EVO 4.C you truly won’t miss a word.

Smooth, punchy bass
Although the centre speaker focuses on mid-range, it still needs to carry dynamic weight across the soundstage – linking the left and right speakers with sequences such as heavy gun fire or a jet flying from right to left. For this reason, the EVO 4.C uses twin woofers to produce all the necessary firepower. With a frequency response that goes as low as the floorstanding EVO 4.3, the EVO 4.C holds its own in the bass department.

Sleek cabinet, available in finishes to match your other EVO speakers
Available in black, walnut and white finishes, the curved cabinet blends smoothly into your room. More than just enhancing the looks, however, those sensuous curves help enhance the sound quality, too. Curved sides help break internal standing waves for lower distortion. Internal bracing and composite damping also help in reducing distortion and in keeping the sound as smooth and accurate as possible.

”The capable low end delivers plenty of well-controlled power that gives cinematic weight.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 award-winner (as part of the EVO 4.4 5.1 speaker pack).

Effortless bass response
Packing an impressive 12 inch, long throw woofer cone, the Wharfedale SW-12 shifts a very 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 mighty power rating of 300 watts, peaking at an immense 450 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.

Glossy good looks
The crisp style gives a timeless appeal. With its extended feet and gloss black baffle, the SW-12 reduces its visual ‘bulk’. A removable fabric grille protects the woofer cone.
