Wharfedale Pro Diamond Studio Series Loudspeaker Monitor
Congratulations on the purchase of your Diamond Studio studio monitor. We take great pride in engineering and building every Wharfedale Pro product and wish to thank you for entrusting us with your audio.
From the time Gilbert Briggs built his first loudspeaker in 1932, to the
present day, we have maintained the same standard of quality in components,
workmanship and performance.
Please take the time to read this guide completely in order to get the most
from your new monitors.

REAR INPUT CONTROLS
MONITOR POSITIONING
The Diamond Studio monitors are a ‘bookshelf’ design and can be used on monitor stands or on a rigid bookshelf. We suggest that they are positioned at least 200 mm from the rear walls and 700 mm from the side walls, facing slightly inwards.
The bass extension will improve if they are positioned closer to the rear
wall.
However, If the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls, the bass will
increase but may become boomy and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed
away from the walls, the inward angle may be increased by up to 40%, although
this may restrict the width of the optimum listening position.
A useful rule of thumb is that the listener should be as far from the
loudspeakers as they are from each other. The speakers should ideally be
positioned so that the treble units are roughly at ear level to the seated
listener. As personal taste plays a large role, experiment with different
configurations and play a wide range of programme material before finalising the
position of your speakers.
