THE WHARFEDALE PROFESSIONAL EVP-X series
loudspeaker systems are the latest evolution of our
highly successful EVP-S familyˊBuilt around the
development of an exceptional new Elliptical
Waveguide Horn coupled with a Ferrofluid cooled
44mm titanium compression driver the high
frequency performance and system reliability of
this series is unprecedented in this product classˊ
One to one comparisons against any competitive speaker will
dramatically demonstrate the superior design, build quality
and overall value of the EVP-X Series.
• 90 X 60 Elliptical Wave Guide Horn
• High power handling, high efficiency
• Protective grilles
• Integral High Frequency Driver Overload protection “PRO-TECHTM”
• Sophisticated crossover design enables smooth power and frequency response control through crossover region
• Trapezoid shape for arraying cabinets
• Integral tripod stand adaptor
• High frequency EQ switch to boost (+3dB) or FLAT output
• High pass output for mid/high frequency satellite speakers (subwoofers only)
• Signal present and HF protect LED indicators on full range cabinets
High output capability and low distortion with excellent
high frequency extension characterize these new driversˊ
When comparing sound quality and specifications to the
competitionˈthe advantages of Wharfedale Pro built and
designed componentsˈthe real compression driver and
our sophisticated crossover can immediately be heard and
appreciatedˊ

SYSTEM PROTECTION
The ProTech protection system in the EVP-X progressively converts
excess power into heat and triggers a reduction in the power to
the HF Driver. When the overload condition is removedˈthe
system returns seamlessly to normal operation.
SOPHISTICATED CROSSOVER DESIGN
EVP-X series features sophisticated crossover networks for an
exceptionally smooth frequency and power response. High
voltage capacitors and inductors with massive cores and heavy
gauge wire are used throughout, enabling the crossover network
to handle incredibly high power without saturating.
BUILT TO LAST
The EVP-X cabinets are constructed using high gradeˈlow
resonance composite wood and covered with a road tough
industrial carpetˊA heavy duty full length steel grille protects the
internal components from damage.
VERSATILITY
Full range cabinets in the EVP-X Series are trapezoidal in shape
and therefore easily arrayableˊThey also feature an alloy stand
adaptor in the base of the unit for mounting on tripods or for use in
combination with one of the complimentary sub bass systems.
EASE OF USE
The EVP-X have the added benefit of signal present and HF protect
LED indicators on the front of the loudspeaker-green to show signal
present and orange to show the HF bulb is active, making it easy to
monitor the system levels.
The Wharfedale Professional EVP-X series loudspeakers combine
exceptional design and features with outstanding sound quality to
provide a choice of sound systems to suit almost any applicationˊ

In comparison to a conventional rectangular
horn, the Elliptical Wave Guide offers superior
control over HF coverage, with reduced
distortion, greater output and smoother
frequency response. The elliptical shape
means that there are no corners or parallel
surfaces to distort, diffract or reflect the
sound--therefore the output is smoother,
cleaner and more consistent. Again, due to
the elliptical shape, mid to high frequencies
are diffcused more efficiently. When coupled
with a true compression driver, the result is
brilliant, natural HF reproduction.
