Wharfedale Pro – Impact 215LL

Introducing the biggest and most powerful full-range IMPACT model yet – the IMPACT 215LL. A HUGE 2 x 15” monster!

Category: Tag:

Description

Using two, newly designed custom Wharfedale Pro 15” drivers and the acclaimed IRIS X HF compression driver, the new IMPACT 215LL is not only physically bigger than its predecessor but is significantly LOUDER.

 

Rated at 1600w Programme and with a Peak of 3200w, IMPACT 215LL is simply HUGE. But power needs control and refinement.

 

IMPACT 215LL is constructed of 15mm MDF which makes the cabinet tight and with reduced physical distortion. Internally a precisely engineered crossover enables this new loudspeaker to deliver the most extreme highs and rumbling lows ever experienced from an IMPACT series full-range model. The 90° x 60° elliptical waveguide produces a smooth high frequency dispersion that sits perfectly with other models from the IMPACT series.

 

IMPACT 215LL – A huge and powerful addition to the IMPACT series.

Features

Full range impact
The IMPACT 215LL has the highest power in any of our dual 15″ modelsWith 3200w peak, IMPACT 215LL is HUGE!For high frequency, a 1.75″ titanium diaphragm compression driver produces a powerful yet neutral sounding high end. Both the HF and 2 x 15” LF drivers have been newly developed for this loudspeaker series, engineered and acoustically matched to an extremely durable MDF cabinet.
 
Built to take an impact
As with all of the IMPACT series, IMPACT 215LL is ready for whatever life on tour throws at it.The strong MDF cabinet is covered in a textured black paint to give a durable yet stylish finish, which brings a professional look to any sound reinforcement environment.The finish is extremely hard wearing and is leagues above any other carpet covered cabinet in the same price point.
 
90° x 60° Elliptical waveguides
For wide and smooth coverage a 90° x 60° elliptical waveguide has been selected.In real-world terms this means that the higher frequencies can be heard with definition at 90° in the horizontal plane, and 60° in the vertical.All models in the Impact series use this same elliptical waveguide design which makes for controllable coverage when using multiple Impact series loudspeakers.
 
Huge power handling
The most powerful dual 15″ Impact model in the series.Custom designed Wharfedale Pro drivers are combined with a detailed crossover network. This combination leads to an extremely powerful system – but with a full-range sound.Simply put…IMPACT 215LL goes LOUD!
