Wharfedale Diamond 12.Ci 2-Way Single Centre Speaker in Walnut – Clear Dialogue, Natural Detail & Modern Design
The Wharfedale Diamond 12.Ci Centre Speaker brings the clarity and precision of the acclaimed DIAMOND 12 Series into the heart of your home cinema setup. Designed for rich, articulate dialogue and seamless integration with the rest of the 12i range, this 2-way centre-channel speaker blends refined engineering with the fresh, contemporary styling of the new DIAMOND 12i Series.
Perfect for movie lovers and music enthusiasts alike, the Diamond 12.Ci delivers the vocal accuracy and tonal consistency you need for a fully immersive surround-sound system.
Modern Design with Premium Finishes
The upgraded DIAMOND 12i aesthetic gives the 12.Ci a more sophisticated and furniture-friendly appearance, available in luxurious finishes that complement modern living spaces. Whether you’re pairing it with floorstanders or bookshelves from the range, the speaker’s sleek, contemporary look completes any home cinema setup with style.
Crystal-Clear Dialogue with Klarity™ Driver Technology
At the core of the 12.Ci is Wharfedale’s Klarity™ cone material, crafted from a specialised polypropylene/mica blend. This ensures the dual mid/bass drivers remain light, responsive and exceptionally well-damped. The result is natural vocal reproduction, clean midrange detail and smooth transitions during complex scenes or musical passages.
A low-damping surround improves efficiency and dynamic expression, helping the speaker maintain clarity even at higher volumes.
Smooth and Refined High Frequencies
High-end sparkle comes from the 25mm woven polyester textile dome tweeter, engineered with a damping coating for controlled, extended treble. Its flat front plate design offers excellent dispersion, ensuring dialogue and effects sound open and lifelike—even when you’re not seated dead centre.
Advanced Motor System for Lower Distortion
Each mid/bass driver is supported by a refined magnet assembly with an aluminium compensation ring, which stabilises inductance as the voice coil moves. This reduces distortion and delivers tighter, more accurate midrange performance—crucial for crisp speech and cinematic realism.
The voice coil is built on a high-strength epoxy/glass fibre bobbin, giving the 12.Ci impressive durability and power handling well beyond what you’d expect at its price.
Optimised Crossover for Seamless Integration
Wharfedale uses a high-quality Linkwitz-Riley crossover network featuring air-core inductors typically seen in more premium designs. These precise components help blend the tweeter and mid/bass drivers with minimal phase shift, ensuring voices, effects and music flow together smoothly.
Low-Resonance Cabinet for Pure, Controlled Sound
The cabinet uses a multi-layered sandwich construction to suppress unwanted resonance. Internal computer-designed spot bracing strengthens the structure without transferring vibrations across surfaces, keeping the sound clean, accurate and free from boxy colouration.
