FORCE 9-P LOUDSPEAKER
Wharfedale has been a major force in the design and development of high-performance loudspeakers for more than half a century, so when their engineers turned their attention to designing a world beating compact, high power speaker system for use in demanding and diverse professional sound applications, you'd expect them to come up with something special…
DESCRIPTIONForce 9-P Loudspeakers
Force 9 is the first in a series of Wharfedale-built sound reinforcement products and has already created enormous impact with users during its extensive proving trials.
Because the needs of the professional user are so varied, a speaker must be able to give a good account of itself in a multitude of different circumstances and locations, and it must do so while remaining both manageable in size and affordable in price.
The heart of the Force 9 is a purpose-developed 12" co-axial driver which combines very high power handling with superb frequency coverage and controlled dispersion characteristics.
It is clean and efficient across the full spectrum, making full use of the available amplifier power. This is as important and as noticeable at low volume as it is at higher SPLs. Force 9 stays smooth and unruffled from a whisper to a roar.
CONSTRUCTION
The Force 9-P Loudspeaker is manufactured in rugged polyetylene, designed for both portable and permanent systems.
The trapezoidal enclosure can be flown, stand or bracket mounted, singly or in clusters or arrays. Their controlled 60 degree vertical and horizontal dispersion takes the guesswork out of placement and system design, while allowing both portrait and landscape orientation.
