Wilson Benesch TORUS Series Infrasonic Generator
WILSON BENESCH TORUS SERIES INFRASONIC GENERATOR
In the summer of 2021, Wilson Benesch will launch its next generation of their infrasonic generator.
Developed in Sheffield, England, the new Wilson Benesch TORUS Series Infrasonic Generator is based on the Torus design that precedes it.
The TORUS Series seeks to recreate the low-frequency sound experience of live music through technologies including the push-pull motor design, a rounded geometric enclosure that mimics these instruments and a super lightweight Carbon Fibre – Polyethylene Terephthalate diaphragm.
WILSON BENESCH TORUS
Launched in 2006, the Wilson Benesch Torus Infrasonic Generator eliminated the cabinet from any and all structural responsibilities. Instead, the Sheffield brand placed a 16kg Steel Core at the heart of the Torus Infrasonic Generator. The core ensures that all energy from the two push-pull Neodymium motors is grounded.
CARBON FIBRE
Through collaboration with two leading companies in the field of fibre weaving and composite design, a new fabric was invented. The 18” Carbon Fibre – Polyethylene Terephthalate diaphragm is geometrically optimised and realised from a woven material that incorporates both the fibre as well as the resin matrix.
This material is woven exclusively in Europe for Wilson Benesch. The lightweight diaphragm can support 1000 times its own mass, a testament to the stiffness of the structure.
Inspired by the instruments that it aspires to reproduce, the new TORUS Series has a round external structure.
PRICE & AVAILABILITY
The Wilson Benesch TORUS Series Infrasonic Generator will be first shown to the public at High End Munich 2021. Pre-orders open in May 2021 and the TORUS will be available in Q3 2021. Price circa £13,000. The original Torus and Torus Amplifier will be discontinued from this April.
