OVERVIEW

PRECISION SERIES.
ENGINEERED FOR YOU.

Sitting at the top of the table, the P3.0 is the Precision Series flagship. The P3.0 combines a dedicated Tactic 2.0 midrange drive unit with two Tactic 2.0 Bass drive units. By combining an upper bass drive unit with a low bass drive unit, the P3.0 boasts serious low frequency power and drive, but always with absolute control. With a dedicated midrange Tactic II drive unit and the Leonardo Tweeter, the P3.0 is able to articulate exquisite detail and recreate delicate emotional source material, making for an extremely involved and exciting listening experience.

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

Wilson Benesch’s new high frequency transducer technology, the Leonardo Tweeter. Developed directly through an iterative design approach that gave birth to the Fibonacci and Semisphere Tweeters before it. As with the Fibonacci Tweeter found in Wilson Benesch’s reference loudspeaker Eminence, the Leonardo Tweeter features a geometrically optimised and decoupled polymer-carbon fibre faceplate. This entirely proprietary component is manufactured in-house using State- of-the-Art 3D printing technology. The faceplate acts as a waveguide, delivering optimal dispersion and phase characteristics for the Leonardo Tweeter.

HYBRIDISED ENCLOSURE

Central to the Precision Series design is the philosophy that multiple materials should be used in enclosure design to create hybridised structures. The Precision Series enclosure represents an engineering solution to a product design problem, that of controlling structural born resonant energy within a loudspeaker enclosure to reduce the Q-factor of the enclosure as much as possible. The distinct Precision Series top and bottom ‘caps’, whilst elegant forms, are in fact critical components in the pursuit of this goal. Precision CNC-machined from solid billets of aluminium, the caps lock in position the front and rear aluminium baffles with the wood side panels. The caps are then tied along the vertical axis of the Precision Series enclosure using 13mm steel bars that brace the enclosure and compress the whole structure to ensure it is as sonically inert and stiff as possible. Additionally, along the horizontal axis tubular structures lock into pre-routed grooves to provide both increased stiffness and damping of the Precision Series enclosure in this axis.

DIRECT MIDRANGE AMPLIFIER COUPLING

The unique balance of high specific stiffness with exceptional damping within the Isotactic Polypropylene diaphragm affords the opportunity to create a reductive minimal crossover design. This philosophy is further developed and underpinned by complete control over every single component within the drive unit design and critically the enclosure design itself, allowing electro-acoustic roll off of the drive units. It is an elegant approach to sound design executed in the company’s Eminence loudspeaker and now in the P2.0 and P3.0 loudspeakers where the midrange drive unit is directly coupled to the amplifier with no crossover components in the signal pathway. Natural, effortless and open - the Wilson Benesch sound is well recognised now globally.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

The P3.0 from Wilson Benesch simply sounds different than standard speakers, let's just say "outstanding" and add an exclamation point to that.
"The Wilson Benesch P3.0 marks a great moment for me, it is a loudspeaker that has been thought through to the end, from the housing to the chassis. Thanks to numerous color and design options, the P3.0 can either be integrated into living areas or set the optically striking counterpoint. A dream loudspeaker like the P3.0 has its purchase price, but the sonic potential of this British pillar definitely extends to the highest regions. Naming this series Precision was the best Christina and Craig Milnes could do."

It is no longer the sound projected by two speakers, it is the music itself that expresses itself. This sensation of spatial ease, of freedom, is particularly exhilarating for the listener.
"But this is not the only strong point of the Wilson Benesch who are also striking in their ability to convey the energy and the lagato of each score. In this sense they offer a shimmering and clear sound reproduction. The sound of each score. They reproduce the impacts with an exciting spontaneity and firmness. The low register is particularly eloquent. Its readability and structure are quite exemplary."
