All  models  feature  printed  circuit 
boards  with  large  copper  tracks 
to  maximize  signal  transfer  and 
component 

layouts 

designed 

to  eliminate  inference  from  any 
residual  stray  magnetic  fields.  The 
printed  circuit  boards  are  mounted 
on  vibration  free  mountings.  Most 
models  have  two  printed  circuit 
boards to separate the bass inductors 
from  those  coupling  the  midrange 
and tweeter units.

The  bass  inductor  has  a  large 
magnetic  field  when  operating 
which  would  otherwise  modulate 
the  other  inductors.  All  inductors 
feature  perfect  layer  winding  and 
large  gauges  of  wire  are  used  to 
keep  insertion  loss  to  a  minimum. 
Capacitors  in  crossover  networks 
pose  special  problems.  The  Opus² 
range  features  high  grade  low-loss, 
low-ecr, polypropylene or reversible 

electrolytic  capacitors  specially 
selected for their outstanding audio 
properties.  These  capacitors  are 
marked with the ‘Wharfedale super 
audio  capacitor’  logo.  The  internal 
cables used are specially made and 
assembled in our factory: 4 multiple 
strand oxygen-free copper wires are 
plaited  into  a  single  cable  for  all 
internal loudspeaker connections.
