[ATTACH=CONFIG]194555.vB5-legacyid=1428[/ATTACH]Shenzhen, China, May 30, 2011 – Wharfedale Pro today announce a new passive loudspeaker range targeted at the touring and fixed installation sector. The Delta Series contains a comprehensive lineup of passive full range enclosures, subwoofers and stage monitors in a variety of configurations.

IAG have developed a new composite finish for the Delta Series, Rhino Rock™. This new type of finish is tough enough for the most demanding touring applications yet provides the pleasing aesthetics of a painted finish. Ryan McKenna, Wharfedale Pro PR Manager comments “Rhino Rock is the combined result of extensive market research and in-house development. We held meetings with many of our customers and associated live sound companies worldwide and have fought really hard to meet their demands. The result is a new type of composite finish that is resistant to the kind of damage that a typical painted loudspeaker will exhibit after being used in real-world sound-reinforcement situations. We are very proud of the end result, and have the upmost confidence that live sound professionals worldwide will acknowledge the benefit and turn to the Delta Series when they require a durable, high output, passive enclosure.”

Mike Mayne, Wharfedale Pro Product Manager stated “We started off with a brief to create a robust touring loudspeaker that punches above its weight in terms of sound quality and durability. Advanced computer assisted techniques have been used to tune the enclosure, creating an end product with tight bass, a sparkling top end and accurate transient reproduction. We really have leveraged our manufacturing capabilities to include important features, improve sound quality and defy the price point. The Delta Series 2-way models include rigging points for use in flown applications for demanding fixed installations and larger venue touring applications.”
