Wharfedale DVP AX215

Class D Bi-Amplified Active Loudspeakers

Overview

All DVP-AX feature a routed Wharfedale Pro logo in the MDF woodwork.

It is also a logo to be proud of. A logo that lets your audience know that the sound of your event will be of the highest possible quality.

FULL RANGE MODELS WITH IRIS X

The coil size and electrical sensitivity of a loudspeaker transducer is critical to its performance.  DVP-AX loudspeakers now include our proprietary IRIS X design which delivers Increased coil Radius and Increased electrical Sensitivity.  The radius of the coil ensures smooth heat dissipation during prolonged high volume use, while the increased electrical sensitivity ensures that the transducer converts as much electrical power into sound output as the laws of physics allow.  

A hot transducer wastes energy, risks damage and distorts.  IRIS X reduces this through improved heat dissipation and improved efficiency.

In real-world terms, IRIS X transducers deliver higher SPL with less distortion.  They lead the market with specifications and are designed and built entirely within Wharfedale Pro.

Increased Radius Increased Sensitivity

ACOUSTICALLY MATCHED CABINETS

The cabinets of the DVP-AX series have been developed to work in perfect harmony with the advanced drive units within. Special attention has been paid to the acoustic properties of the port and portsmouth to ensure a huge bass output with detail and minimize distortion.

DVP-AX loudspeakers are also coated in the latest generation chip-resistant, Rhino Rock paint.

MONITORS

DVP-AX12M and DVP-AX15M have been designed for ‘onstage efficiency’.  With onboard 7-band graphic EQ it is quick and easy to reduce feedback and to maximize foldback SPL.  The secondary powered output also makes it quick and easy to hook up a secondary passive loudspeaker which uses the amplification of the DVP-AX monitor.
