OVERVIEW
PRECISION SERIES.
ENGINEERED FOR YOU.
As the entry point into the Precision Series, the P1.0 introduced Wilson Benesch engineering to a wider audience in a compact standmount form. It combined a single Tactic 2.0 drive unit with the Leonardo Tweeter, housed within the distinctive Precision Series enclosure.
Delivering remarkable performance and value, the P1.0 offered access to trickle-down technology from the award-winning Geometry Series. It set the stage for the larger models in the range, while standing on its own as a highly capable loudspeaker.
Now part of our Heritage collection, the P1.0 remains a defining example of Wilson Benesch’s ability to balance innovation, craftsmanship, and accessibility.
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 represents a direct trickle-down from the groundbreaking Fibonacci Tweeter, one of the world’s most advanced high-frequency transducers. Developed through the same iterative design philosophy, it carried forward core innovations while making them more widely accessible.
At its heart was a geometrically optimised and decoupled polymer–carbon fibre faceplate, manufactured entirely in-house using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology. Acting as a precise waveguide, this proprietary component ensured optimal dispersion and phase characteristics, hallmarks of Wilson Benesch design.
Now part of our Heritage collection, the Leonardo Tweeter stands as an important step in the evolution of our transducer technology — a refined expression of the knowledge gained from the Fibonacci, crafted to deliver remarkable performance.
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.
INTEGRATED STAND
In the P1.0 standmount loudspeaker, the stand was not a separate accessory but an integral part of the enclosure design. Echoing the CNC-machined alloy top and bottom caps of the Precision Series, the stand was directly tied into the aluminium base plate of the enclosure at one end and into the stand foot at the other.
Hidden within the two vertical uprights, 13mm steel ties connected the mass of the enclosure to the mass of the stand foot. This engineering solution added stiffness and stability across the entire structure, ensuring the P1.0 achieved the same precision and control as its floorstanding counterparts.
Now part of our Heritage collection, the P1.0 standmount illustrates Wilson Benesch’s uncompromising approach to design — where every element serves performance.
