WILSON BENESCH
Loudspeakers
The Bishop
All invention is simply an extension of man.
In the case of so many Wilson Benesch products not only are
the organic forms a clear manifestation of this philosophy but of
course, being carbon based, the links between the materials
employed in the construction of both the invention and Man are
clear. Materials technology is one aspect of the innovation that
has been brought to the domestic audio market by Wilson
Benesch. In a brief time the company has established itself
throughout the world and can be proud of its achievements.
We would like to thank you for sharing our view on what
represents good design by choosing our product above all
others.
We are confident that you will enjoy them as much as we do.

Spikes The Spikes that have been specifically designed for the Bishop Loudspeakers should be treated with caution. Turned from stainless steel which is very hard they are very sharp and can easily inflict a severe wound to the unsuspecting and careless.
- Page 4 They were designed by Wilson Benesch in order to achieve the level of performance required by the advanced design, of which they form an important part. They provide the shortest possible route for the signal and in this aspect they out perform all other terminals currently available.

Wilson Benesch will not accept responsibility for any damage that might occur to the speakers during shipment unless it is by prior notice through the dealer. - Page 6 3. Make a record of the predicted standing wave frequency characteristic for each parallel wall dimension of the room. 4. Verify your predictions using the Wilson Benesch test CD which has a number of fixed frequency tests and swept frequencies. Use these to verify and back up your predictions.
- Page 7 Loudspeaker positioning There is no objective criteria that can be used to state precisely where loudspeakers should be positioned. Should any individual or company suggest that there is, they should be regarded as special people and treated with a great deal of caution. In the global scenario our loudspeakers are driven by unique systems that are selected by the owner because of particular virtues.
- Page 8 For Wilson Benesch it was the recognition of these limits and a similar respect for the physical limitations of materials that informed our approach. This emerged from our work in turntable design where we had pioneered the use of carbon fibre and Advanced Composite Technology structures.
- Page 9 The Bishop was developed with two discrete isolated enclosures for the low frequency, mid range and high frequency systems. This immediately reduces corruption from cross communication. A two box system also provides other advantages in terms of manufacturing and installation. Curved pre stressed Advanced Composite Technology panels are key structural components in both cabinets.
- Page 10 Although The Tactic ® is in fact half the physical size and mass of the Scan benchmark used by Wilson Benesch and so many others to date, it is in fact almost 50% more powerful. Such an increase in performance is no mean achievement. It provides the amplifier with that much more control of the diaphragms movement.
- Page 11 In the Bishop eight of these systems have been developed to achieve this task alone. The curved forms of the Tactic® when mirrored creates a sphere with intrinsically high stiffness to weight ratio.
- Page 12 Why is the system designed this way? The Bishop is at the very forefront of sound reproduction. Small changes either to the room or to the ancilliary equipment which feeds this system will have distinct and perceptible effect.
- Page 13 Bishop will be played in will probably be as diverse as one can possibly imagine At this level of performance we feel that it is important to be able to effect changes over the balance of the high frequency output.
