Wilson Benesch: The Future is Carbon

British Audio Design, at its best.

Wilson Benesch will use Sound & Vision – The Bristol Show, for the UK Premier of the new flagship loudspeaker, The Cardinal. In a collaborative presentation with the industry leading digital audio designers dCS, who will present the Vivaldi Playback System, and for the sixth year highly acclaimed British cable manufacturer Clearer Audio. This years presentation in the Conservatory will be unparalleled in terms of High-End Audio presentations at all preceding SAV Shows.

The Cardinal is the flagship of the Geometry Series which also includes the Vertex, Vector and Fulcrum Centre. The Geometry Series is the final word in high quality, advanced materials technology loudspeaker design, presented in a range of bespoke Wilson Benesch finishes. The unique cabinet design allows the Geometry Series products to achieve unmatched cabinet signal-to-noise ratios. Like the cabinet, the drive technologies have been designed and built entirely in-house through a closed loop of design and manufacturing processes that have optimised each design to achieve class leading dynamics, tonality and resolution.

Regarded by HIFI Plus, Editor in Chief as “Ambassadors of High Tech” the Geometry Series rejects the accepted norms and in doing so delivers a paradigm shift in our expectations of loudspeaker performance.

Craig Milnes, Design Director says of the Cardinal loudspeaker, “The Cardinal is a statement about the companies Design and Manufacturing pedigree, it is not only our flagship, but the British flagship loudspeaker.”

The Geometry Series, the Torus Infrasonic Generator and the Square Series II will be featured at Sound & Vision in the Conservatory Suite on the 1st floor. Unlike all previous years, entrance this year will be via the side door at the top of the stairs. Further information about the event will follow over the coming weeks.

We look forward to seeing you all again this year.

Wilson Benesch Directors,

Christina and Craig Milnes

Wilson Benesch made an appearance at the Guangzhuo AV Show earlier this month courtesy of our Chinese distribution partner Richcoln Company Ltd. The impressive demonstration was based around two Wilson Benesch Chimera’s finished in Burr Walnut. These were driven by two dedicated Devialet D-Premier. One Devialet was used to drive the tweeters in each Chimera and the other handled the bass and mid-range Drive Units in the Chimera.

Along with a static Square Series II display, the Wilson Benesch presentation looked and sounded the part.

For more information about the Square Series II see theproduct page.

Wilson Benesch: Built For You

The first Cardinal Flagship Loudspeaker shipped from Wilson Benesch on Wednesday 17th October. The Cardinal finished in White Gloss, complete with the Serial Number: 007. It has now arrived safely in Russia where it will make it’s Russian debut at this weekends Moscow Hi-End Show courtesy of our distribution partner Qvinta Audio.

Since its foundation in 1989, Wilson Benesch has consistently sought to push the boundaries of audio product design and manufacture. Today, Wilson Benesch designs are based upon strong scientific foundations, driven by a passionate commitment to attaining a more natural sound reproduction, irrespective of accepted paradigms.

The Cardinal Loudspeaker is the most advanced loudspeaker ever developed by Wilson Benesch. Carbon fibre based, advanced composite systems deliver the ultimate performance and enable a shell structure with a massive air volume. These curved elements give the cabinet a complex internal geometry to counter standing waves and ensure a class leading signal to noise ratio that is second to none. The use of Advanced Materials Technology is a unique symbol of excellence that has defined the brand, setting it apart from every other company in the world.

The Cardinal’s form and geometry is instantly recognisable as a Wilson Benesch design incorporating accents that have evolved from many predecessors including the A.C.T. One, The Bishop and The Chimera. The Cardinal’s footprint is more than twice that of the Chimera, standing 12-inches (1-ft) higher, affording the Cardinal a 65% larger air volume.

Like the rest of the Geometry Series, The Cardinal is fitted with proprietary Tactic-II Drive units and the Semisphere Tweeter. Eighteen drive units in total deliver wide bandwidth sound from 25Hz to 35KHz.

Mid-range frequencies are handled by two highly optimized upper and lower mid-range Tactic-II Drive Units. Meanwhile, the Isobaric Tactic formation makes a return in the Cardinal with four Tactic-II Drive Units deployed to achieve a new benchmark in dynamics and transient response.

Inspired by nature and natural sound, the new Wilson Benesch flagship, “The Cardinal” is the summation of decades of work in the fields of cabinet, drive unit, and material innovation. This development has been evolutionary, building upon each and every success. Out of a passionate commitment to manufacturing, innovation and an adherence to the highest standards of craftsmanship, comes a product that could only emerge from one company.
