A little history...
In 1932, Gilbert Briggs, a skilled technician, built his first loudspeaker in the cellar of his family home in Yorkshire, at Ilkley in the Wharfe Valley ('dale' meaning 'dale'). He decided to market it the following year and opened his first workshop near Bradford to manufacture his loudspeakers on a larger scale.
Radio was booming before the war, and the small company, a subcontractor to the major brands, was able to take full advantage of this new business.
The war brought its share of innovations, and demand grew for products capable of reproducing sounds as faithfully as possible (Ici, Radio Londres...).
With peace restored, Wharfedale invented the first two-way loudspeaker, featuring a ten-inch tweeter and a crossover, a technological innovation that would change acoustic reproduction forever.
In 1958, Gilbert Briggs sold his company to Rank, but remained at the helm, continuing to innovate (notably using ceramic magnets) before taking a well-deserved retirement seven years later.
From the 1960s onwards, the company took a keen interest in the hi-fi market, producing tuners, amplifiers and even turntables, while maintaining its leadership in loudspeaker manufacture. In 1992, Wharfedale merged with Mission to become Verity Group PLC and concentrated on sound reinforcement, for which there was huge demand, marketing a whole range of professional loudspeakers for touring musicians.
A department that became independent under the name Wharfedale Pro before joining Audiolab and Quad, part of IAG (International Audio Group) and setting up in China.
