Product description
The compact model of Wharfedale's Diamond Active range — a self-powered wireless stereo pair, each speaker a two-way with a 130 mm woven-Kevlar mid/bass and 25 mm soft-dome tweeter driven by its own 50 W amplifier. RCA, coaxial and optical inputs plus aptX Bluetooth, with the left and right speakers linked losslessly over 5.8 GHz wireless — a hi-fi active pair that needs no separate amp.
