The Wharfedale MACH The Wharfedale MACH The Wharfedale MACH series of loudspeakers consists of the MACH 3, 5, 7, and 9. This is an informational page devoted to owners and users of these loudspeakers and those interested in history and construction of electronic sound reproduction. These loudspeakers were manufactured at Rank Hi-Fi, Wharfedale Works in West Yorkshire by Wharfedale Loudspeakers in England (UK). They were featured in the Gramophone magazine in July 1982. This range of high-efficiency (hi-fi) loudspeakers were released to replace their "E" Series of loudspeakers. They were originally launched with prices from £200 to £430 per pair. The drive units
Mach wave of an oblique shock wave (a normal shock is the other limit). A Mach wave propagates across the flow at the Mach angle "μ", which is the angle formed between the Mach wave wavefront and a vector that points opposite to the vector of motion. It is given by formula_1 where "M" is the Mach number. Mach waves can be used in schlieren or shadowgraph observations to determine the local Mach number of the flow. Early observations by Ernst Mach used grooves in the wall of a duct to produce Mach waves in a duct, which were then photographed by
