OVERVIEW
Precision series.
engineered for you.
The P2.0 stands as a celebrated part of our Heritage collection, representing a key step in the evolution of the Precision Series. Designed with a dedicated Tactic 2.0 midrange drive unit, a dedicated Tactic 2.0 bass drive unit, and the Leonardo Tweeter at its acoustic centre, it embodied scale, authority, and absolute control.
Building on the foundation of the P1.0, the P2.0 pushed performance further—filling rooms with power and refinement while maintaining exceptional value. Though no longer in production, it remains an important chapter in the story of our pursuit of precision and musical truth.
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.
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.
