WILSON BENESCH - a brief
historyThe company is owned and directed by two directors:Craig Milnes directs
product development and design Christina Milnes directs all aspects of sales,
production and financial planning.The Wilson Benesch bank account was opened in
1989. The account opened with £10,000 and a £15,000 overdraft. This would be
consumed in the first year in a Research and development project part funded by
the Department of Trade and Industry who contributed £25,000. The outcome? the
world's first carbon fibre sub chassis turntable. This design incorporated
numerous innovative design features and although it went out of production in
1995 due to the Papst motor being made obsolete it is still a sought after
design holding its price on the second hand market.The A.C.T. One tonearm was
not the first carbon fibre tonearm in the world, but it was certainly the first
to fully exploit the extraordinary engineering properties of Aerospace quality,
carbon fibre. By placing the fibres in a helix, the Wilson Benesch solution
delivers maximum torsional stiffness, as well as maximum damping of the
cartridge induced structural borne vibration. Like the turntable the other
innovative features remain unique today, including the world's first three point
locating, Kinematic bearing and unique counterbalance arrangement. In retrospect,
one can now see how the knowledge acquired during the Turntable sub chassis and
subsequently the tonearm development, gave rise to a fundamental understanding
of the how sonic borne energy effects the perception of sound. It was this work
that would eventually lead to the world's first curved carbon fibre loudspeaker
design that would be seen for the first time in May 1995 at the Frankfurt High
End Show. Analogue remains today a format of prestige and one that Wilson
Benesch is delighted to be strongly associated with. We continue to use analogue
recordings to voice all our loudspeakers.Remaining with the analogue development,
at this time it should of course be remembered that C.D. was in the ascendancy.
"Perfect Sound Forever" was being promoted and vinyl was being presented at
every opportunity as the media of the past. England's press and the majority of
its dealers were totally disinterested in analogue. _In Ken Kessler's review of
the Wilson Benesch turntable he remarked that someone ought to send these guys a
calendar! Today the predictions that we stated in 1980 have all come to pass as
we predicted. Although the first turntable is no longer in production it is one
of the few audio products in the world that can be seen to have appreciated in
value. Second hand units now exchange hands for more than new units sold for!For
almost five years the domestic market was completely unaware of the small
company in Yorkshire that was selling 99% of its product to some of the most
respected distributors in the world. However in 1996 the analogue designs
collected numerous awards including Best turntable from Gramophone and HiFi
News. Germany's journal Stereoplay made the system reference, and in the
influential Japanese journal Stereosound it won the accolade of "Best Buy"The
product that turned eventually even the heads of the British was the A.C.T. One
Loudspeaker. This development project was also part funded by the D.T.I. It took
less than a year to develop despite the high degree of collaboration involved in
the research with numerous engineers from a wide variety of technologies
including advanced composites engineering and acoustic design. It is now
recognised throughout the world for being the first in a number of important
design facets.Including the first speaker to exploit a sloping top design to
reduce room interactions.The first to exploit a curved advanced composite
structure based upon carbon fibre.The first to exploit a solid metal baffle to
mount the drive units effectively and enable subsequent upgrade.Acoustically,
the design placed a great deal of emphasis upon phase coherence, a design
element that has been maintained in all subsequent products leading ultimately
to the crossover free loudspeaker design that has been implemented in a number
of later designs.Although the design was quite out of step with every other
product on the market at the time it is now seen by many as the forerunner of so
many designs which we see today. Ten years after it remains today a small highly
regarded design with a sonic excellence that still competes with contemporary
designs. Its second hand value is excellent and by virtue of the metal baffle
design can easily be updated as new driver technologies are introduced.The
critics endorsement of the A.C.T. Loudspeaker can be seen in the awards and
Reference status that it established throughout the world. It became Reference
in Germany and collected 6 other awards in other key markets in 1996 including
two in Japan. Wilson Benesch was now in the loudspeaker business even though it
had only one loudspeaker! The same year we applied for SMART funding to develop
an advanced dynamic drive unit that would compliment the enclosure technology of
the A.C.T. loudspeaker technology.Export sales in subsequent years would
continue to grow and dwarf that of the U.K. It would take another four years
before the U.K. saw fit to bestow any awards for the loudspeaker. Ketan Bharadia
of What Hi-Fi selected the A.C.T. Loudspeaker as Reference system in the year
2000. In fact What HiFi is the only magazine in the U.K. that has ever awarded
the company any formal award.Wilson Benesch invested in its first lathe in 1990
and has continued to invest in manufacturing technology ever since. In the field
of carbon fibre these manufacturing techniques are of course quite unique and
State of The Art. Manufacturing capabilities provide a degree of control that
enable the highest quality standards to be achieved in manufacturing repeatedly.
This investment in manufacturing is also quite different to the majority of
other audio company's. It expands the design envelope and makes real innovation
possible. It was a key facet of our first successful application to DTI for
considerable funding under SMART. Our successful application committed us to a
two year R&D project that would exceed £250,000. This investment realised the
Tactic(r) drive unit (see white paper on this) and culminated in the Bishop
system which fully exploits this technology with four Isobaric Tactic(r) systems.
The Bishop defined a new direction of development that has been maintained until
the present day. In 1999 it was made Reference system in Germany's Stereoplay. A
two part review comprised of technology in the first month and listening tests
in the second month set a precedent for the magazine. Each part benefited from
four pages of detailed explanations. An unparalleled achievement for a company
that had only been designing loudspeakers for six years!Wilson Benesch started
as an export company and today enjoys a strong presence in all key markets of
the world. The British market is also a key market today and Wilson Benesch can
arguably claim to be the leading High End loudspeaker brand in the U.K. The
A.C.T. One Loudspeaker was replaced at What HiFi in 2003 by six Discovery
loudspeakers used for both two channel and multi channel as the Reference. The
A.C.T. One and A.C.T. Two loudspeaker was replaced in 2002 with the all metal /
carbon fibre composite A.C.T. Loudspeaker. Japan awarded the design the Grand
Prix 2002.In 2005 the Smart feasibility Study into an innovative patent applied
for infrasonic drive unit began. Torus has gone on to demonstrate once again the
gulf that exists between Wilson Benesch design and every other loudspeaker
design company in the world. It put in place the foundations for the companies
development of accurate low frequency sound reproduction that would be described
as "the most accurate woofer of all times" by the leading technical critic
Holger Bierman of Stereoplay in Germany. In 2006 it would see the design
described as a work of genius by Jonathon Valin where it was also seen fit to
bestow the accolade of Product of the Year award by one of the most influential
journals in the world The Absolute Sounds. 2005 also saw the company adopt a
strap line. "The future is carbon" In the Torus, the company made further
investment in order to take advantage of the potential of new carbon fibre
technology, the diaphragm structure is quite unlike anything seen before using
as it does molten PET to consolidate the fibre instead of epoxy resin. The
carbon is woven exclusively for Wilson Benesch to achieve the complex curve with
fibre direction naturally orientated exactly according to stress lines. The
result is a structure capable of withstanding over 100,000 times its own mass.
The future for carbon fibre composites is going to see further exciting
opportunities that will enable Wilson Benesch to redefine what is possible in
other designs.Having redefined low frequency definition and fidelity the company
turned its attentions to the opposite extreme. Retaining the soft dome tweeter
that has stood the test of time against all new competing designs that have
emerged the Scanspeak assembled Wilson Benesch tweeter works perfectly within
its bandwidth. To go beyond the 20 kHz limitations would require a totally
different device that was free of the mass limitations of the conventional
dynamic coil based solution. Wilson Benesch has collaborated with Murata to
deliver the ultimate solution Trinity. This remarkable design provides a snap
shot of the potential of wide bandwidth sound that has been beyond engineering
limitations until to date 2007. Like the A.C.T. one Wilson Benesch selected the
German high End Show to present the full potential of Torus in combination with
Trinity to deliver a wide bandwidth sound from 20Hz to 100 kHz.2006 saw the
introduction of the Square series a fresh approach once again to a the
conventional wood based cabinet design. Seeing the cabinet as a soft material at
the outset enabled unusual answers to be found to the problems of unwanted
energy. The success of the design can be seen in the lowering of the noise floor
attributable to cabinet colouration. By taking advantage of wall placement the
design also provides the additional bass that enables a completely different set
of design solutions for system building both in themselves or as part of more
exotic options from the Odyssey Series. All three designs benefit from the High
End drive units and crossover elements from the Odyssey Series. The designs have
seen superb critical acclaim across the world including group test winner in
What HiFi against the leading brands.We would like to take this opportunity to
thank all our colleagues and distributors that have helped Wilson Benesch grow
its business and meet its development objectives. We would also like to
recognise the importance of those journalists that have taken the time to
evaluate and to accurately report on our products over the years. But most
importantly we would like to thank all our customers, most especially those in
the early years that recognised the merits in our design and enabled the company
to realise its potential. By purchasing a Wilson Benesch design rather than one
of the many other products, these people have invested in Wilson Benesch and
enabled the company to do more research and development. As we approach the end
of the first decade of the 21st century Wilson Benesch continues to look ahead
to bring something totally new to the market. To date we have collaborated with
some of the finest scientists engineers and artists in the world to advance the
art of loudspeaker and analogue design. If you share our passion for music, you
will be inspired by the lengths that we go to, in order to make progress.

are replaced by the new A.C.T. The new A.C.T. enjoys the same internal
volume as the A.C.T. Two. Significantly, this has been achieved with the same
external dimensions as the A.C.T. One which of course it also supersedes. How
has this been achieved? All the structural components used in the new A.C.T. are
now Carbon fibre composite and metal – Engineering materials --. What appears to
be wood is inconsequential in terms of structural performance in this design
they are classed as visual elements not structural. Beneath the real wood
veneers and solid wooden top is metal. It can also be seen that the front baffle
and internal bracing is also metal. There is no debate, this is quite simply the
stiffest structure ever seen in any standalone loudspeaker system.The weight of
the cabinet has increased by 80% to 74 kg.Cabinetry materials replaced by
Engineering materials Carbon composite is of course the principal structural
component in the new A.C.T. . A complete U section not dissimilar to the
monocoque in the Odyssey series is now used in the new A.C.T. but here we see
the original and distinctive twill weave that has always been a part of the
A.C.T. One and A.C.T. Two systems.Baffle construction The alloy baffle has
decreased in size in an effort to bring the drivers closer than previously
possible with the MDF structures. A formidable combination of steel and
aluminium is used as the reference for the latest version of the Tactic® drive
unit 18mm thick at the baffle. Latest version of the Tactic® Drive unit
This has also benefited from changes to its mass both in the coil and the
diaphragm the principal players in the dynamics of any drive unit. An edge wound
aluminium coil has seen the mass of the coil halved this has provided the
opportunity to stiffen the diaphragm further and reduce the overall mass without
any negative side effects. The net result is a better controlled, more dynamic
loudspeaker drive unit that sets new standards of performance. Crossover type
and location Although the crossover is fundamentally the same its location in
the spine and at the bottom of the cabinet in the case of the bass inductor sees
these sensitive components installed away from the airborne energy that can
excite these systems in an undesireable way. Bi wiring has replaced the tri
wiring option and the terminal is now the same type and location as the Chimera.
Silent port arrangement The porting arrangement has also been completely
redeveloped The mid range system is now vented at the base of the cabinet via
the spine system at the back of the enclosure. This virtually eliminates the
possibility of hearing any noise from the port whilst at the same time reducing
any effects relating to rear wall reflections when placed close to the rear wall.
The port arrangement for the bass is quite similar to the A.C.T. Two but
improved through a further development of the port that now passes through a
complex arrangement that sees the foot being brought in to play in an effort to
reduce the high velocity movement of air still further.Beauty Aesthetically the
forms are svelt and precise in appearance. A more contemporary and attractive
design that is clearly in keeping with current expectations for interior design
conscious consumers who demand the very highest quality without sacrificing
sonic performance. Build quality is exceptional with all parts assembled to the
finest tolerances. Finishes are extensive and available in both straight veneer,
burrs and birds eye wood types. For the demanding consumer we can offer bespoke
options that mean that if it can be extracted without harming the planets
ecosystems we can produce it. Architectural polymer finishes in Silver and black
are also available and again colours can be specified that are capable of being
matched to any interior colour scheme as another bespoke option. Improving
performance whilst reducing cost to the consumer The A.C.T. One price has been
very stable with only one price rise in seven years. We can say with some pride
that contrary to the norm in the industry all these changes have been introduced
without incurring a price increase, in actual fact the price has been reduced!
These considerable changes will underline Wilson Benesch’s position at the
forefront of technology at this sector of the market. The A.C.T. One broke the
mould and challenged the loudspeaker industry of 1995. It was always going to be
a hard act to follow but in this solution we believe that we have excelled
ourselves. The A.C.T. One was always held in high esteem by all who heard it and
is still used today as the Reference Loudspeaker system by the largest audio
journal in the UK. It won twelve awards from every corner of the globe and sales
have remained buoyant throughout its seven year reign a C.V. that few if any
could compare. The new sound The new A.C.T. sounds even more like an
electrostatic in the way that it conjures a three dimensional sound field with
even more dynamism than the A.C.T. Two. It is more accurate and the increase in
mass gives it an authority and presence that will embarrass other systems
costing many times more. It is possible to say that the quality of reproduction
from such a diminutive and elegant enclosure has never been achieved before and
it is without doubt an appropriate and fitting tribute to the A.C.T. One and
A.C.T. Two, designs which it replaces as of November 2002.
The

Discovery. It is capable of being used in isolation or wall mounted but the

loudspeaker.The Arc can form the basis for a sophisticatted two way or multi
channel system. The Wilson Benesch Tactic and tweeter drive unit are identical
to both the Centre and the Discovery, so system matching is axiomatic.Pleasure

imitated by numorous wood based solutions but the difference in performance is
obvious. When did you last see an M.D.F. Formula One Racing car or a wooden

The
Torus Infrasonic Generator The Torus Infrasonic Generator is completely original
in thought and execution and manufactured by Wilson Benesch in Sheffield. The
finest materials in the world have been designed into this product, materials
technologies that you will not find in any other audio product. To date, all
audio designers attempting to create low frequency sound have produced a
variable of the ubiquitous Subwoofer. In reality, the only option available to
the consumer, has been to opt for brand A’s version of the collection of parts,
as opposed to brand B’s version. As competition has grown, the variables have
changed. Bigger amplifiers to drive more in-efficient woofers or different
cabinet materials, essentially they have remained the same. After three years of
research and development, the Torus System can be seen to offer a significant
departure from the Subwoofer solution for developing infrasonic sound. This
product is so different, that it clearly demonstrates the fundamental flaws in
the design of the Subwoofer and provides a real alternative for Music and Cinema
effects.Taurus

The
Chimera is a synthesis of the best materials and drive units ever seen in any
dynamic loudspeaker system. The product of years of innovation and driven
design, it's success is founded upon the single minded pursuit of excellence in
audio reproduction and discerning aesthetics.Be prepared to ask yourself... Why
hasn't anyone done that before?Carbon fibre and the name Wilson Benesch are
synonomous. In the Odyssey series we have allied the merits of this material to
those of aluminium alloy, to bring you a structual performance that is simply
beyond that of any other loudspeaker at any price.To match the performance of
the enclosure, Wilson Benesch invested its own and European funding in excess of
£250,000 in the development of a completely new multi role, dynamic driver
technology.The

Formula One racing car?To match the performance of the enclosure, Wilson Benesch
invested its own and European funding in excess of £250,000 in the development
of a completely new multi-role,dynamic driver technology.Wilson Benesch is the
only Uk company to have won SMART funding for the development of a completely
new driver technology.An integrated sound field is axiomatic with the Tactic®
multi-role drive unit. One type of driver = one type of sound. Simple but very
effective.Benefitis of the Isobaric Tactic® - See adjacent diagram 1. Matchless
accuracy. 2. The most powerful low frequency composite system in the world. 3.
Near pistonic function of the diaphragm that avoids the break-up problems
commonly accepted in conventional systems. 4. Third order non-linearities
virtually cancelled out. 5. The solid colour in the adjacent diagram describes
the effective cone thickness below 200Hz. In the range of its operation, the
diaphragm can be seen to have the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio in the
world. 6. The solid colour describes the solid defence against the passage of
out-of-phase energy that must be confined within the enclosure. 7. The next time
you see a large diaphragm, consider how easy it is for the energy inside the
enclosure to pass through this relatively thin membrane! Description 2.5 way,
