Wharfedale Heritage LINTON - 3-полосная полочная акустика
С акустическими системами LINTON связан огромный пласт истории бренда Wharfedale. Именно в этих моделях воплощались ключевые задумки компании, реализованные в 60-х, 70-х и 80-х годах прошлого века. Общие правила для всей линейки – качественное звучание, высокий уровень сборки и привлекательный ценник – были сформулированы еще в 1965 году! Собственно, именно тогда свет увидела первая версия одноименной АС.
Новые LINTON Heritage сохранили ключевые черты линейки и в этом смысле являются прямым продолжением своего рода. В то же время, используя последние достижения инженерной мысли, компании Wharfedale удалось значительно осовременить и внешний вид акустики, и ее «начинку». Как и прошлые модели линейки, актуальная инкарнация LINTON радует теплым, богатым на разные оттенки и естественным звучанием. А детализация и жанровая всеядность, если верить первым впечатлениям, и вовсе вышли на новый уровень!

Retro style, timeless musicality

The Linton makes use of its wide baffle by incorporating a large (by modern standards) bass driver with a 200mm Kevlar cone, mounted on a rigid, die-cast chassis. Above this sits a 135mm midrange driver, also sporting a woven Kevlar cone and housed within its own internal enclosure. Finally, a 25mm fabric-dome tweeter with a high-flux ferrite magnet handles high frequencies.

The original Linton incarnations of the 1960s and 1970s were well known for their rich and natural sound quality; the new model retains these attributes but upgrades the performance in every department. Its bass is deep and well-defined, its midrange clear and open, with free-breathing dynamics and an expansive scale that brings music to life. It is a sound you can dive into and lose yourself in, as you listen to album after album; a nostalgic nod to the past elevated to a level fit for the future.

Designed to appeal

This is a speaker that exudes authenticity, designed to appeal to the dedicated music-lover.

In keeping with a design intended to be treasured, the new Linton sports hand-matched wood veneers and optional matching stands with a similarly classic style. Custom-made to ensure each speaker is sited at the perfect height for a seated listener, the stand’s rigid metal frame ensures critical damping of unwanted vibrations, embellished with wood-veneered panels at the top and bottom to complement the speakers. The design even provides space to store vinyl records within the stand’s structure.

Back in Black

Now available in a new contemporary Black Oak finish; the Wharfedale LINTON represents one of the most iconic models in the long history of Wharfedale loudspeakers. A model that embodied the Wharfedale pioneering research through the 60s, 70s and 80s, with a bloodline dating back to 1965, LINTON has always been manufactured according to the Wharfedale principles of quality and value for money.
