Square One
One
The Square One is a 2-way, stand mounted loudspeaker
and is the entry point into Wilson Benesch High-End
loudspeakers.
Trickle-down technologies from the Odyssey Range
guarantee outstanding dynamic capabilities and like
all Wilson Benesch loudspeakers, an exceptional signal
to noise ratio to bring you closer to the musical event.
The latest incarnation of the Square One sees important
developments over its predecessor. The most notable
of these is the addition of bass ports on the underside of
the enclosure, carefully developed in conjunction with a
higher mass driver cone to enhance bass performance
and extension.
To cope with the increased energy, the Series II
Square One internal construction has been modified.
Controlling cabinet noise requires damping, with this in
mind, viscoelastically bonded critical mass damping
has been employed, to absorb energy from the cabinet
wall and dissipate it silently.
In common with the original Square Series, the Assisted
Bass Radiator (ABR) remains at the rear of the cabinet
to absorb and control the energy generated by the
powerful Tactic drive unit.
"
These speakers are amazing! They deliver superb
music. Perceived quality is matched by the intrinsic
quality and the care that has been taken in the design
and manufacture of components, making the product
highly desirable
" - Patrice Philippe - Haute Fidelite
Aesthetically, the Square Series II range sees the addition
of high quality wood veneers, residing beneath a new,
low profile grill. Laser cut from two sheets of steel and
finished with turned metal links, the new grill offers the
lowest diffraction of any loudspeaker grill.
Unhindered dynamics and coherent time alignment
come as standard, thanks to the absence of crossover
components on the Tactic Drive Unit and a simple 1st-
order Tweeter crossover.
And so it follows, that you can be confident that each
and every subtle detail will be enthusiastically conveyed
by the Wilson Benesch Square One.
