Wharfedale have engineered a new cone material call Acufiber: an advanced material that marries the responsiveness of glass and carbon fibre materials with a self-damping woven matrix. The goal was to produce a neutral radiator, which was responsive enough to transfer musical transients without dulling but to naturally damp cone-flexure to reduce colouration.

Acufiber cones also feature a moulded pattern, which automatically breaks up the standing waves in the cone to further reduce colouration and distortion, enabling the cone to behave closer to the theoretical acoustic ‘piston’ without the high ‘Q’ resonances experienced by formed metal cones.

Engineered to offer something beyond the ordinary and to be considered an exceptional music reproduction instrument, each Wharfedale loudspeaker must meet a number of exacting standards. Jade is the newest audiophile class speaker design from Wharfedale that incorporates the latest improvements in loudspeaker technology and production from Wharfedale’s in-house design. Computer-aided modelling and precision tooling is used to produce the highest levels of performance of our loudspeakers to ensure they can provide its owners a lifetime of indulgence.
