Rega io + Wharfedale Denton 85th Anniversary Hi-Fi System Package

Rega io + Wharfedale Denton 85th Anniversary Hi-Fi System Package

Rega io

The io has been designed to offer exceptional Rega performance at an affordable price point. It uses the same amplifier stage as the multi-award winning Brio now designed to run at 30 W per channel into 8 Ω. The io features two line level inputs, a high specification Rega moving magnet phono stage, and a dedicated high quality headphone output. The io will integrate seamlessly into any home audio system whilst remaining simple to use and easy to set up. A must for demonstration.

KEY FEATURES

• Integrated phono stage
• Headphone socket
• Mini remote control
• All new custom designed chasis

Because music matters

The io uses the same power amplifier and phono stage as its larger brother, the multi-award winning Brio. The io aims to deliver exceptional sound quality in a smaller and more cost effective package. The class A/B circuit shares its DNA with the rest of Rega’s amplifiers, and as usual, great care has been taken in component selection. Sanken output transistors and an Alps volume potentiometer and a linear power supply that enables an output of 30 watts per channel into 8 Ω. Two line level inputs and a high quality moving magnet phono input are available as sources. There is a headphone output provided on the front of the unit for powering standard hi-fi headphones; this is driven from the power amplifier stage of the unit through relays to avoid signal degradation when headphones are inserted or the product is muted. A new redesigned mini remote handset is included.

Denton 85th

Denton 85th Anniversary is a two-way speaker in the classic bookshelf tradition, beautifully hand veneered in Mahogany by Wharfedale cabinet makers with an inset front baffle and traditional Tungsten cloth grille.

Underneath the traditional exterior, however, the Denton 85th Anniversary is bang up to date and utilises a mixture of traditional and advanced technology. The bass unit features Wharfedale’s innovative woven Kevlar cone mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis, this combination delivering a rich, detailed bass/midrange output with superb dynamic performance. High frequencies are handled by a woven textile soft dome treble unit with high flux ferrite magnet, engineered for smooth, detailed HF extension.

DENTON 85th Anniversary Limited Edition (85週年紀念限定版) 古典Hi-Fi揚聲器 -

聆聽 DENTON 85th，猶如品嘗佳釀，芬芳香醇

Wharfedale 邁入 85 週年特別推出第一款紀念限定版古典佳作，極具珍藏

Wharfedale 已經堂堂邁入 85 週年，毋庸置疑是歷史上英國最著名的喇叭品牌，而其經典主力的 Diamond 鑽石系列更是名列金氏世界紀錄史上累積銷售數量第一的喇叭系列。而 1967 年上市的 DENTON，更是經典的一代銘器。五年前，Wharfedale為Denton推出過80週年版，設計造型與1967年第一代一脈相承，勾起了老一輩發燒友美好的回憶，也讓新一代的年輕燒友聽見6、7年代英國喇叭溫厚、純樸的正統之聲。

傳統經典的延續與復古情懷的散發

揚聲器的設計與調音有如調酒般帶些感性與品味，不能單憑用什麼材質單元、音箱、分音器就去判別揚聲器可能會呈現什麼聲音？揚聲器最後的聲音，是經過設計師的調配，也是他們的目的與定位走向。Wharfedale現任工程師Peter Comeau的目標就是要重拾當年DENTON書架揚聲器那種溫暖、豐富與自然， 再加上今天追求的開闊音場與細節表達能力。DENTON 85th一如經典的L3/5a，追尋的是一種聲音味道與復古情懷。DENTON 85th整體氛圍華麗璀璨，聲音有陶瓷般的明亮清晰，還有爽彈敏銳的反應與活潑精神的起動力，音色總能保持亮麗光鮮，會令人燃起一份要收藏的衝動，是一種能牽動情緒與情懷的聲音。

獨特高音單體中央 8 度偏角設計，提升擴散力

一般來說，傳世名器都有自己獨到之處，五年前的DENTON 80th，把絲質高音安裝在Kevlar功夫龍低音單元的正上方；來到DENTON 85th絲質高音單元移動至面板中軸8度角，目的是進一步拓展聲音擴散能力，亦改善了高音與低音單元的銜接表現，音樂結像和定位以及音場有更優秀的表現外，更重要的是在聽感上也更舒適更柔順更貼近自然。這神來之筆，則是源自於當年DENTON 2 XP。

釹鐵硼強磁高頻驅動單元，還原當年原版高音的特色

DENTON 85th的高音驅動單元，採用釹鐵硼強磁材料和兩層音圈驅動。釹鐵硼強磁材料內含陶瓷物料，還有鐵，由於製成磁體前，鐵已經過氧化過程，所以不會再氧化，有耐高溫、耐潮濕、容易控制、高阻尼表現等特性。應用於DENTON85th，高音的音色就是要貼近1967年原版，再進一步改善聲音的分析力與拓展音場。此外，製程採用磁液冷卻散熱，讓高速振動的音圈擁有足夠的散熱能力。避免高音單體的音圈振動受熱後的性能下降。

提升至6吋半的Kevlar功夫龍低音單元

低音仍然採用Wharfedale最驕傲的Kevlar功夫龍編織單體，不過由80週年版的5吋，拓展至DENTON 85th的6吋半，換句話說，低音的能量會有明顯提升。振盆材質採用了經典Wharfedale三明治結構，並加入全新的來自海洋的植物纖維，讓低音的聽感更準確，更具層次感的前提下，帶來更加自然而美妙的柔順與寬鬆。

帶著酒桶般的芬芳，令人沉醉的箱體設計

箱體設計比上一代寬了4公分，厚度薄了2公分，背板上擁有雙低音反射氣孔設計。85週年版的箱體設計相似於80週年版，但視覺上的 古典味更濃，猶如酒筒般的芬芳。敲打木箱，結實質感濃烈，設計採用三明治結構，利用天然木材與複合板加強箱體硬度，箱內亦加入骨架結構加強控制協震與避免囤積駐波的效果。

不可再錯過，伴您一生的珍藏品

DENTON 85th頻率響應為45Hz-20kHz（+/-3dB），靈敏度由上一代的86dB提升至88dB，阻抗由6Ω改至4Ω，可提升輸出功率。Denton 85th是帶著濃烈兼追尋舊日的氛圍，再加上現今揚聲器對細節和清晰度的追求，非常適合播放黑膠，以及古典、爵士及發燒人聲，味道香氛濃郁，自然瀟灑流露。作為世界上獲得國際重大獎項最多的著名音響設計師之一的PeterComeau，足足花費了6個多月的時間對DENTON 85th紀念限量版書架進行精心調教，假如您已錯過DENTON 80週年，那不可再錯失這次珍藏的機會。
