Reva is the latest range of Audiophile speakers from Wharfedale, the most famous name in British loudspeakers.
The Reva-2 is the larger bookshelf speaker in the Reva range. Being slightly larger than the Reva-1, it handles a little more bass and is ideal for stereo audiophile setups. It is also equally suitable for surround sound systems.
Britain has long been recognised throughout the world as being the home of loudspeaker technology in terms of innovation and quality. This reputation has built up over many years by some of the world’s most famous loudspeaker manufacturers. Wharfedale, established over eighty years ago has always been at the forefront of developing this reputation.
Designed from the ground up to offer state-of-the-art tonal accuracy and musical detail, Wharfedale Reva has been born out of a combination of extensive research into a unique driver and cabinet technology, combined with a passion for music.
From our proprietary glass fibre weave bass and midrange drivers to the 7 layer piano gloss lacquer finish, Reva Series is stunning inside and out and will bring excitement to your music collection and home cinema experience.
Our extensive research
into cabinet construction
and material eliminates
unwanted resonance.
Our extensive research showed that coherent materials, like raw MDF,
have peak resonances (particularly in the midrange) that let sound
out of a cabinet at volume levels that interfere with the sound from
the drive units. Not surprisingly, this causes a distinct coloration and
character to the sound of such cabinets.
To eliminate this, panel material comprises of a special lamination of
wood composites, reducing the sonic character of the cabinets to a
level where it cannot be heard below the sound from the drive units..
It is this cutting-edge acoustic technology that sets us apart from
other loudspeaker manufacturers.
The Reva Series also features our signature slot-loaded port
technology. The slot-loaded port, which uses a gap between the
plinth and the port exit in the base of the cabinet, aids the pressure
differential between the port and the air in the room, increasing g the
energy transfer and making the system more efficient.
Our research showed this removes the unwanted low frequency and
high output distortion or which is often found in conventional rear
ported speakers.
The slot-loading technology also means the speaker can be
positioned near the wall, fitting seamlessly into even smaller living
environments.
Because of our synergy
throughout the design and
manufacture process, we are
able to very closely match
drive units to their cabinets
and intended frequency
responses.
For most other manufacturers, loudspeaker design is full of
compromise. More often than not, it’s a case of taking whichever
drive units are available from the various manufacturers, designing a
cabinet which someone else builds and designing a crossover which
compensates for the differences between drivers and between driver
and cabinet.
Being part of IAG Group and manufactured in a vertically integrated
environment, means every part of the Reva speakers has been
developed from the ground up to work in harmony together. This
includes how the drive units work with the cabinet.
Musical accuracy and articulation is carried through to the midrange
by bass/midrange driver cones that incorporate a proprietary glass
fibre weave that is naturally self-damping to reduce and distribute
resonances to virtually negligible levels.
These cones are mounted in a special alloy, cast chassis to ensure
dynamic rigidity and a fixed, profiled phase plug ensures a smooth
acoustic roll-off to enhance integration with the treble unit.
A new, fine weave textile dome, with critically damped coating, has
been chosen for the 25mm treble unit, powered by a Neodymium
magnet fitted with a finned heatsink to reduce dynamic compression.
This unit offers excellent bandwidth, with a smooth response from
2kHz to above 20kHz, and is mounted on a subtly dished waveguide
that enhances dispersion.
Reva Series speakers are
fined tuned to perfection
through advanced CAD
techniques and extensive
listening sessions with
experienced engineers.
Our UK based design team have complete freedom to specify
materials, processes, shapes and performance parameters of every
component part – often working with our experienced production
teams to develop new, more efficient processes. Once all components
are brought together an equally important part of the process is that
each speaker is voiced properly.
Our advanced drive units are combined, acoustically, with a
precision crossover utilizing Linkwitz-Riley slopes calculated using
Wharfedale’s advanced Computer Aided Optimization techniques.
While CAD tuning plays an essential part in the voicing process, the
final crossovers are the result of hundreds of hours of fine tuning
using a variety of music to ensure that Reva speakers meet the
requirements of audiophiles the world over. It is these final listening
sessions and tunings by experienced engineers that set Wharfedale
speakers miles apart from any other. This is also continuing the
company values set by founder Gilbert Briggs, and his endless pursuit
of better sound quality – driven by his love of live music.
Finally each Reva speaker is hand-finished by Wharfedale’s cabinet
craftsmen with multiple layers of polished lacquer to achieve a
high gloss finish that complements any interior design, available in
Piano Black, Piano White, Walnut and Piano Deep Rosewood. This
combination of beautiful finish and sonic excellence will ensure that
the owner will be proud to own Reva – truly a work of art.
