OVERVIEW
PRECISION SERIES.
ENGINEERED FOR YOU.
As the flagship of the Precision Series, the P3.0 embodied the pinnacle of this range. Its design paired a dedicated Tactic 2.0 midrange drive unit with two Tactic 2.0 bass drive units — one upper bass and one low bass — to deliver deep, authoritative low frequencies with complete control.
With the addition of the Leonardo Tweeter at its acoustic centre, the P3.0 balanced power with refinement, capable of rendering exquisite detail and the most delicate emotional nuances. The result was a loudspeaker that offered an immersive, involving, and truly exciting listening experience.
Now part of our Heritage collection, the P3.0 stands as a landmark of the Precision Series — the statement model that pushed performance to its highest expression.
DESIGN
TACTIC 2.0 DRIVE UNIT
Wilson Benesch created the first iteration of its dynamic drive unit in 2002. Since then the Tactic Drive unit has evolved through three generations to arrive in its current form. Wilson Benesch was the first company in the world to develop a consumer product that used Isotactic Polypropylene. It’s unique balance of high specific stiffness with exceptional damping afford the opportunity to create a reductive minimal crossover design.
LEONARDO TWEETER
The Leonardo Tweeter marked a significant stage in Wilson Benesch’s development of high-frequency transducer technology. Emerging through an iterative design process that also produced the Fibonacci and Semisphere Tweeters, it showcased our dedication to continual refinement and innovation.
Like the Fibonacci Tweeter found in the reference loudspeaker Eminence, the Leonardo Tweeter employed a geometrically optimised and decoupled polymer–carbon fibre faceplate. Manufactured entirely in-house with state-of-the-art 3D printing, this proprietary waveguide delivered exceptional dispersion and phase characteristics.
Though succeeded by later advancements, the Leonardo Tweeter remains a distinguished milestone within our Heritage collection, embodying the pursuit of precision engineering and acoustic excellence.
HYBRIDISED ENCLOSURE
At the heart of the Precision Series was a design philosophy built on hybridised material structures. By combining multiple materials within the enclosure, Wilson Benesch sought to control structurally-borne resonant energy and reduce the Q-factor of the loudspeaker cabinet to the lowest possible level.
The distinctive top and bottom caps of the Precision Series were not merely elegant design features but critical engineering components. Precision CNC-machined from solid aluminium billets, they locked the front and rear baffles to the wooden side panels. Along the vertical axis, 13mm steel tie-bars compressed and braced the entire structure, while tubular elements along the horizontal axis increased stiffness and introduced additional damping.
Though now part of our Heritage collection, the Precision Series enclosure remains a striking example of engineering-led design — a purposeful solution to the timeless challenge of resonance control in loudspeakers.
DIRECT MIDRANGE AMPLIFIER COUPLING
The unique balance of high specific stiffness and exceptional damping within the Isotactic Polypropylene diaphragm enabled Wilson Benesch to pioneer reductive crossover design. By exercising complete control over every element of the drive unit and, critically, the enclosure itself, the diaphragm allowed for natural electro-acoustic roll-off, minimising the need for complex crossover networks.
This elegant approach was first realised in the reference Eminence loudspeaker and carried through into the P2.0 and P3.0, where the midrange drive unit was directly coupled to the amplifier with no crossover components in the signal path.
Natural, effortless, and open – this design philosophy helped define the globally recognised Wilson Benesch sound and remains a cornerstone in the company’s Heritage of innovation.
