Wilson Benesch

The TESSELLATE Ti, sports an innovative «needle holder» system. The cantilever in this model is made of state-of-the-art materials and is designed using a hybrid diamond and carbon scheme.

The body of the model is very unusual, and the strangeness begins with the name. So, the A.C.T. 3 ZERO Monocoque is made of Wilson Benesch proprietary material, which increases the stiffness-damping ratio by as much as 30%. Additionally, the body is reinforced with steel ties.

The Wilson Benesch Omnium features a proprietary Fibonacci Tweeter based on the tweeter design of last year's Semisphere systems. The dome is made of a combination of silk and carbon fiber. The driver itself with a patented neodymium magnet is mechanically decoupled from the housing.

The Wilson Benesch Resolution 3 Zero costs near $102,000 per pair and uses a unique midrange design (Troika System) to achieve exceptionally clear sound.

The Wilson Benesch A.C.T. 3Zero is a floorstanding speaker from the Fibonacci reference series with hybrid tweeters with a silk and carbon fiber membrane, as well as Tactic 3.0 low and midrange drivers that are directly connected to the amplifier.

The design of the Endeavour 3zero drivers is borrowed from the groundbreaking Discovery acoustics series, based on the proprietary Tactic-II Drive and Semisphere Tweeter developments, which consist of a single Tactic II midrange driver and a Semisphere Tweeter treble driver located below, with a set of woofer drivers mounted directly on an aluminum base inside the case, now called Isobaric Drive.

The bookshelf 2.5-band speaker on the Discovery stand is equipped with the latest Wilson Benesch drivers, identical for the entire series from the Vertex model to the flagship The Cardinal.

In the model, an inch tweeter with a silk dome is arranged according to the d'Appolito scheme and is recessed into a small carbon waveguide with a Fibonacci spiral applied on top. The ribbed waveguide design with reflective and absorbing surfaces is consistent with the response of the tweeter and allows you to achieve a sound superior to more classic designs with smooth waveguides.

The Wilson Benesch Precision 2.0 housings are assembled on the basis of an aluminum U-shaped frame, which ensures the highest structural rigidity. Leonardo's own 25 mm tweeter was used, as well as a pair of Tactic II branded drivers (170 mm) - one of them works for bass, the second is responsible for midrange frequencies.

The Wilson Benesch P1.0 is a passive bookshelf speaker from the Precision series. The following set of drivers is used here: midbass — 170 mm (7") Wilson Benesch Tactic 2.0, tweeter — 25 mm (1") Wilson Benesch Leonardo Silk Dome Tweeter.

The Wilson Benesch Arc active subwoofer is equipped with a dynamic driver with an 18-inch (457 mm) diameter diffuser and two sound coils. Thanks to a specially designed carbon fiber and polyethylene terephthalate diffuser, the subwoofer is able to accurately reproduce the big drum and timpani of a symphony orchestra.

The Wilson Benesch Horizon model uses company-patented Tactic 3.0 speakers and a tweeter, which are also used in other Fibonacci series models.

The TESSELLATE Ti-D cartridge case features a semi-open architecture, the design of which was developed based on extensive research and development conducted by Wilson Benesch during the creation of its original line of cartridges in the 1990s.

The heart of the model is, of course, the Omega Drive magnetic drive. The system uses a synchronous motor, and its RMS torque ripple is as low as 0.001342 Nm, thanks to ALPHA Drive technology, which ensures low torque. A new motor startup algorithm is controlled by a microprocessor that compensates for the significant air gap between the stator and rotor in the OMEGA Drive. The OMEGA Drive then spins up to the desired speed, which is then maintained by the ALPHA Drive microprocessor, which feeds three pure sine waves through three Class A linear amplifiers to the 21 magnetic poles in the OMEGA Drive.
