Frequently Asked Questions - Dovedale Wharfedale
What is the recommended amplifier power for the Wharfedale Dovedale?
The Dovedale is designed for amplifiers with power ratings between 20 and 150 watts RMS per channel. Ensure your amplifier can drive 8-ohm loads.
Can I bi-wire or bi-amp the Dovedale speakers?
Yes, the Dovedale features dual binding posts that allow bi-wiring or bi-amping. Remove the metal jumpers between the posts to separate the tweeter and woofer circuits.
What is the frequency response of the Wharfedale Dovedale?
The frequency response is 38Hz to 20kHz with ±3dB tolerance, delivering deep bass and clear highs.
How should I position the Dovedale speakers for best sound?
Place them on sturdy stands or bookshelves at ear level when seated. Keep them at least 30cm from the rear wall to avoid port chuffing. Angle them slightly toward the listening position.
What is the sensitivity of the Dovedale?
The sensitivity is 90dB (2.83V @ 1m), which means they can produce good volume with moderate amplifier power.
Do the Dovedale speakers require a break-in period?
Yes, new speakers often benefit from a break-in period of 20-50 hours at moderate volume. This allows the suspension components to loosen and the sound to stabilize.
Can I use the Dovedale as a center channel in a home theater?
While primarily a stereo bookshelf speaker, you can use a single Dovedale as a center if you buy a third unit. However, Wharfedale offers dedicated center channel speakers for optimal dialogue clarity.
What is the impedance of the Dovedale?
The nominal impedance is 8 ohms, making them compatible with most receivers and integrated amplifiers.
How do I clean the Wharfedale Dovedale?
Use a soft dry cloth to dust the cabinet. For the grille, gently vacuum with a brush attachment. Avoid liquids or abrasive cleaners.
What type of enclosure does the Dovedale use?
It uses a bass reflex design with a rear-facing port, which extends low-frequency response. Ensure adequate space behind the speaker.
