New from Wharfedale was the SI (Systems Integration) Series, comprising six models - the SI-10, SI-12, SI-15, SI-28, SI-15B and SI-18B - aimed at various sound reinforcement applications, including theatres, houses of worship and meeting rooms. The SI-10 is a five-sided enclosure, making it configurable to multiple applications, including stage monitoring and low-profile ceiling or corner installation. The more powerful SI-12 and SI-15 give the option of a 12" or 15" LF driver. Complementing these three full-range options are two LF boxes: the SI-15B is a trapezoidal compact sub using a long-excursion 15" driver, while the SI-18B is a compact vented sub-bass to provide extended low frequency output via a high output 18" driver.

The SVP Series is a range of two-way speakers designed for live music. Seven models make up the range - five full-range models (including a 12" floor monitor) and two subwoofers. The SVPs are tough but lightweight and feature a new compression driver, combined with an elliptical waveguide to bring what Wharfedale calls "unprecedented sound quality and performance to this product class." The SVP-P series are the powered versions of the 12" monitor, 15" full-range, 15" sub and 18" sub - each including an integral power amplifier designed and built by Wharfedale.

Finally, the LX Series offers a range of nine (five full-range and four sub-bass) cabinets for high performance sound reinforcement. Features include cast-frame, large voice coil woofers for sustained output capability and minimal power compression, and the ProTech protection of the HF unit. The LX-E SEries features the same nine-model line-up as the LX, but with a few added extras to make them more suited for installation.
