| Performance P25 |
|
The P25 floor standing speakers are ideal for use in a stereo system. They can also be used
as the main speakers in an AV system. Standing just over a metre tall and very slim, the P25
uses two
140mm
bass/mid
drivers with a ring radiator tweeter in between. The P25 has a sand damped cabinet which minimizes
cabinet resonance as well as adding stability to the speakers.

Performance P12
|
|
The P12s have been designed as main or rear speakers and match perfectly with the P2 centre
channel speaker. These speakers use the same driver compliment as the P25 in a sealed enclosure
while the P25 is vented.

Performance P8
|
|
The P8 centre channel uses identical drivers to the P33 and offers virtually identical performance
as the centre channel for an AV system. As this is a three way system, the tweeter was able to
be mounted directly above the midrange which eliminates the response anomalies when listening
off axis which are common to horizontal speakers. The drivers used in the P8 are not shielded,
so the P8 is not suitable for use with CRT (tube) TV sets. It is designed to be used with Plasma
or LCD screens as well as projectors.

Performance P2
|
|
The P2 is virtually identical to the P12, but as a centre channel is designed for horizontal
orientation. The tweeter is offset to aid its performance whilst being horizontal..

Performance PFX3
|
|
The PFX3s have been designed as a rear effects speaker and can be used with either the P-AV1,
P-AV2 or P25 based systems instead of the P12 where space is at a premium. It is similar in size
to the outgoing PFX but offers better performance with more modern looks.

Impulse2 Subwoofer
|
|
While the original Impulse was a highly regarded award winning subwoofer, the Impulse 2 is even better again.
Having undergone a complete facelift, the Impulse 2 is not only cleaner and lighter than it's predecessor, but port noise is significantly reduced thanks to an improved port design.
The Impulse 2 is completely at home playing everything from your favourite classical CD to the latest blockbuster action movie in 7.1 surround sound.
Whilst most subwoofers use an electronic crossover for high frequency filtering, the Impulse 2 accoustically filters frequencies above 100Hz at an incredible rate of 24dB per ocatve,
ensuring only incredibly clean and tight base is delivered.

| The P-AV1 system consists of 4, 5 or 6 P12s, a P2 centre channel and an Impulse or Impact subwoofer. This system was inspired by our very successful Synergy2 system and is the obvious next step up from that system. Like the Synergy2 system, all the speakers are designed to be used above 80Hz; the subwoofer providing bass below this frequency. The P12 is a sealed system and therefore very clean and dynamic. However, this means it also has less bass extension than a vented enclosure such as the P25, but this is of no consequence as the low bass is provided by the subwoofer. The P2 and P12 are virtually identical to each other except that the P2, being a centre channel speaker, is designed to sit horizontally and has its tweeter offset to optimise its performance as it is used horizontally.
As the P12 speakers use a sealed enclosure, they have sonic advantages over the P25 in an AV system. The bass management built into all AV amplifiers is used to direct all bass below 80Hz to the subwoofer and all frequencies above 80Hz to the P12s and P2. In a stereo system not using a subwoofer, the P25s would be the obvious choice because of their extended bass response of almost one octave.
Although the Impulse subwoofer was designed to partner the P-AV1 system, adding tight, controlled bass, the Impact subwoofer offers even better performance in virtually every respect.
Available in Bubinga or Graphite finish.

The New P-AV2 system contains a floor standing model, a centre channel speaker the choice of two rear effects speakers and a subwoofer. The P33 is a very stylish four driver, three-way floor standing speaker. The P8 is a centre channel speaker which uses the same drivers as the P33 in a vertical/horizontal layout. The Impact subwoofer is the top of the Whatmough range of subwoofers offering clean fast bass which blends seamlessly with the other speakers of the Performance Range. The P12 is the ideal rear affects speaker, but if space is limited, the PFX3 can be used.
The P33 and P8 use two 170mm fiberglass/nomex hybrid drivers especially developed for these speakers, a 100mm cellulous fibre coned mid-range driver and a ring radiator tweeter. Since the P8 uses identical drivers to the P33, it is not shielded and so is unsuitable for use with CRT (picture tube) TVs. If this system is to be used with a tube TV, the Opus2 centre channel should be used instead of the P8.
The Performance Series Impact subwoofer is something special. This system uses no EQ, as the extended response of this subwoofer is the result of very clever cabinet design. Virtually all other subwoofers on the market rely on equalisation (EQ) which is effectively a bass tone control turned up full or more. By not having to resort to EQ, the Impact’s bass is cleaner, tighter and has much lower levels of distortion.
The P-AV2 system matched with an Impact subwoofer is Whatmough’s top home cinema system, capable of stunning dynamics and realism.
Available in Bubinga or Graphite finish.
