全新經典之作
初代DENTON於1967年問世，是Wharfedale為應對不斷變化的Hi-Fi市場而推出的產品——一款真正緊湊的揚聲器，兼具自然音質、精湛工藝和卓越性價比。 1974年，DENTON 1以全新的造型挑戰傳統，不僅體現在其工程設計上，更體現在其外觀設計上，它摒棄了傳統的木箱美學，轉而採用更實用、更具前瞻性的「後現代主義」設計。
這種革新精神也體現在全新的Wharfedale DENTON 1S。
同軸精密：一個聲學中心
這款全新的同軸驅動單元採用精密的二分頻設計，將一個25毫米絲膜球頂高音單元同心置於一個165毫米的高級聚丙烯錐盆內。透過使兩個驅動單元從同一聲學中心輻射聲音，DENTON 1S實現了固有的時間校準和相位一致性。
其結果是呈現出極其統一的聲音表現，擁有穩定的立體聲成像、寬廣沉浸的聲場以及在廣闊聆聽區域內一致的音色平衡。
無論坐在中心位置或偏離軸線聆聽，DENTON 1S都能帶來流暢、連貫的聲音，令人難以置信其尺寸如此小巧。同軸
結構也使得箱體更小巧、更堅固，並最大限度地減少了前障板的干擾——這不僅增強了結構完整性，也使揚聲器外觀更加簡潔精緻。
為音樂連貫性而調整
DENTON 1S 的研發由 Wharfedale 的聲學設計總監 Peter Comeau 主導，尤其註重分頻器的整合。
透過大量的建模和嚴苛的聆聽評估，分頻網路經過精心設計，確保各個驅動單元作為一個統一的整體系統運行，而非各自獨立的組件。最終呈現自然、均衡且無音調斷斷續續的揚聲器。
震撼音效，小巧外型
儘管體積小巧，DENTON 1S 卻能展現出令人印象深刻的低頻表現。
其精心調校的低音反射式箱體和優化的 11.5 升內部容積，使其低頻下潛至 45Hz (-6dB)——對於一款緊湊型書架式揚聲器而言，這堪稱卓越性能。
低音溫暖、富有質感且控制力強，而增強型聚丙烯振膜則確保了快速的瞬態響應和中低頻的音染控制。這種新型振膜材料是在 Wharfedale 長期以來引以為傲的驅動單元基礎上研發的，同時提升了剛性、減輕了品質並優化了自阻尼特性。最終打造出的驅動單元兼具自然的音色平衡、出色的瞬態響應精度以及在關鍵的中頻區域內更低的音染。
絲膜球頂高音單元的阻尼後腔和高磁通量磁路系統，也讓高頻表現流暢細膩。
DENTON 1S 具有 88dB 的靈敏度和 8 歐姆的標稱阻抗，可輕鬆被各種擴大機驅動，使其成為經典高傳真音響系統和現代綜合擴大機的靈活搭檔。
支架、擱板或牆壁
DENTON 1S 的設計兼顧了擺放的靈活性和卓越的聲學性能。
它主要設計為書架式揚聲器，但也適用於壁掛式或嵌入式安裝。其背面的隱蔽式 3/8 英吋安裝孔可確保牢固的牆面安裝。
專門設計的後面板「Brilliance」均衡器開關可進行細微的音調調節，從而優化自由空間、書架式或近牆式擺放的性能。 DENTON 1S 能夠輕鬆適應各種環境，在不限制房間佈局的前提下，提供均衡的音質表現。
專為現代生活打造
從外觀上看，DENTON 1S 重新詮釋了 Wharfedale 的經典傳承，使其更適合現代家居環境。
流暢的箱體曲線、奢華的霧面漆面、經典的布質網罩以及復古風格的標誌，巧妙地融合了過去與現在。在精緻的外觀之下，是先進的箱體結構，採用多層面板、內部支撐和精心控制的阻尼，有效抑制不必要的共振。
最終呈現出一款既現代又極具 Wharfedale 特色的緊湊型高保真揚聲器。
現代外觀，永恆經典
Wharfedale 一直以其卓越的箱體工藝而聞名，而 DENTON 1S 的問世再次提升了這一標準。 DENTON
1S 提供霧面黑、霧面白和全新霧面藍三種配色，旨在與現代生活空間完美融合。這些現代飾面使這款揚聲器能夠自信地融入當今以設計為主導的室內裝潢，同時又保留了 DENTON 系列獨有的鮮明特色。
簡潔、自信、現代。
這款緊湊型揚聲器證明了傳統工藝與現代聲學創新不僅可以共存，而且相得益彰。
A New Compact Classic Reimagined
First introduced in 1967, the original DENTON was Wharfedale’s answer to a changing hi-fi landscape — a truly compact loudspeaker that delivered natural sound, fine craftsmanship, and outstanding value. The DENTON 1 followed in 1974 with a new styling that challenged convention not only through its engineering, but also in its appearance, stepping away from the traditional wooden-box aesthetic in favour of a more utilitarian, forward-looking 'late modernist' design.
That same spirit of reinvention defines the new Wharfedale DENTON 1S.
The DENTON 1S is not a simple revival. It is a clean-sheet reinterpretation of what a compact, modern hi-fi loudspeaker can be — combining contemporary acoustic engineering with unmistakable British design identity.
Tuned for Musical Coherence
Development of the DENTON 1S was led by Wharfedale’s Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau, with particular focus on crossover integration.
Through extensive modelling and critical listening evaluation, the crossover network has been engineered to ensure the drivers operate as a single unified system rather than as separate components. The result is a loudspeaker that sounds natural, balanced, and free from tonal discontinuities.
Music flows with convincing timing and scale, preserving detail and dynamic expression without fatigue — qualities more often associated with significantly larger loudspeakers.
Adopting a coaxial point-source architecture inspired by the original DENTON 1, it delivers exceptional coherence and precision in a modern, compact, and purposeful form. Developed as an engineering challenge to explore new paths within Wharfedale loudspeaker design, the DENTON 1S is playful yet technically serious, confident yet refined. It is also unmistakably contemporary while honouring Wharfedale’s enduring legacy.
Coaxial Precision: One Acoustic Centre
The brand-new coaxial driver is a sophisticated two-way system that positions a 25mm silk-dome tweeter concentrically within a 165mm advanced polypropylene cone. By allowing both drivers to radiate from a single acoustic centre, the DENTON 1S achieves inherent time alignment and phase coherence.
The result is a remarkably unified presentation with stable stereo imaging, a wide, immersive soundstage and consistent tonal balance across a broad listening area.
Whether seated centrally or listening off-axis, the DENTON 1S delivers a smooth, coherent sound that belies its compact dimensions.
The coaxial configuration also enables a smaller, more rigid cabinet with minimal front-baffle interruption — enhancing structural integrity while contributing to the speaker’s clean, refined aesthetic.
Stand, Shelf or Wall
The DENTON 1S has been engineered for placement flexibility as well as acoustic performance.
Primarily designed as a standmount loudspeaker, it also offers suitability for installed or on-wall applications. A discreet rear 3/8” mounting point allows secure wall installation.
A specially engineered rear-panel “Brilliance” EQ switch provides subtle tonal adjustment to optimise performance for free-space, shelf-mounted, or near-wall positioning. The DENTON 1S adapts effortlessly to its environment — delivering balanced performance without dictating room layout.
Crafted for Modern Living
Visually, the DENTON 1S reinterprets Wharfedale Heritage for contemporary interiors.
Smooth cabinet curves, a luxurious matte paint finish, classic cloth grille, and retro-inspired badging blend past and present. Beneath this refined exterior lies advanced cabinet construction, incorporating multi-layer panels, internal bracing, and carefully controlled damping to suppress unwanted resonance.
The result is a compact hi-fi speaker that feels both modern and unmistakably Wharfedale.
Contemporary Finish, Timeless Identity
Wharfedale has long been recognised for class-leading cabinet craftsmanship, and the DENTON 1S raises that standard once again.
Available in matte black, matte white, and an all-new matte blue finish, the DENTON 1S is designed to complement contemporary living spaces. These modern finishes position the speaker confidently within today’s design-led interiors while preserving the unmistakable identity of the DENTON lineage.
Clean. Confident. Contemporary.
A compact loudspeaker that proves heritage and modern acoustic innovation not only coexist — they elevate one another.
