disperse the acoustic output of the drive units
smoothly into the room without undesirable
reflections from otherwise sharp edges.
Underneath the polished lacquers lie cabinet walls built from multiple layers of
differing woods designed to reduce panel resonance below audibility.
multi-layer construction, PROS (Panel Resonance Optimization System) has a
further benefit - it inhibits the leakage of unwanted sound energy from inside the
cabinet which would otherwise interfere with the forward output of the drive units.
Already, much of this internal sound energy is absorbed by multiple layers of
matted long hair fibre - its damping factor specifically calculated to avoid rear
reflection back out through the drive unit cones whilst still allowing unrestricted
airflow to the SLPP reflex port system.
Wharfedale's SLPP (Slot Loaded Profiled Port) bass reflex design was developed
from an original idea of Gilbert Briggs, the entrepreneur who set up and ran

high-velocity airflow from a downward-facing port is better matched to the low air
pressure in the room by distributing the airflow through a series of slot ports in the
plinth. This both reduces unwanted turbulence from the port and also improves the
efficiency of the bass reflex system.
