Wharfedale Pro Titan™ Series is the result of many years of experience in the use, design and manufacturingofprofessional loudspeakerproducts.We takegreatpride inengineeringandbuildingeveryWharfedaleProloudspeakerandwishtothankyouforentrustinguswithyoursound.

From the time Gilbert Briggs built his first loudspeaker in 1932, to the present, Wharfedale Loudspeakers have maintained the same standard of quality in components, workmanship and performance.Wharfedaleareoneofthefewpresentdaymanufacturersthatdesign,engineerandbuildallofourowntransducers.

INTRODUCTION

TITAN™ SERIES OVERVIEW

The Titan Series are powerful, accurate, high quality loudspeaker systems with low distortion thataredesignedtodeliveroustandingperformanceatacosteffectivepricepoint.AnEllipticalWave Guide (EWG) is perfectly matched to the custom designed HF drivers and provides smooth dispersioninboththehorizontalandverticalplanes.

The road tough,gas-assist injectionmouldedpolypropyleneenclosuresareultra lightweightand include rubberisedhandlesandcablemanagement tomakeTitan themostuser-friendlyportable speaker on the market. Threaded rigging points mean that Titan is equally suited to flown applications;acomprehensiverangeofWharfedaleProwallmountingoptionsarealsoavailableasoptionalextras.

Active models feature rear panel power LED’s and a throat mounted LED to make you aware of AC power supply from both the front and rear of the unit. Active models also feature a horn LED defeat switch for less obtrusive aesthetics in applications such as conferencing and A/V presentations. The BRO™ (Bass Response Optimizer) circuit on the 12D and 15D models helps counteract loss of bass at low levels, similar to a loudness switch on home HiFi amplifiers. In addition our "D" models feature Qubit™ 24-bit 192kHz DSP Processing.

Qubit brings the power and precision of 24-bit 192kHz DSP processing to the next generation of WharfedaleProProducts.

With advanced multi-band dynamic processing and filtering Qubit helps fine tune your system to sound natural and open. Qubit processing optimises the loudspeaker to provide smooth digital crossoverpoints thatareperfectlyaligned.Protection isoffered in the formof true independentadaptive LF and HF signal limiting that helps protect against thermal damage and driver over excursion.

Qubit has an extended frequency response that goes way beyond the capabilities of our hearing, providinganextendedphaseresponsethatremains linear throughoutournaturalhearingrange.A Qubit equipped system can reproduce exceptionally natural and accurate transients due to its phasecharacteristicsandperfecttimealignment.

SETTING UP

1. Ensure the speakers power switch is in the off position (Active models only)2. Set the level controls to minimum (Fully anticlockwise) (Active models only)3. Set the EQ controls to 0dB (Active models only)4. Select mic/line input (Active models only)5.Connectallsignalcables6. Connect the power cable (Active models only)7. Switch on source equipment, ensuring that the master level is at minimum8. Switch on the Titan Loudspeaker (Active models only)9. Raise the level control on the Titan (Active models only) or external amplifier10. If the limit LED illuminates lower the level control, if more level is required you will need more speakers. Occasional flashes are acceptable. (Active models only)11. When powering down your system ensure that the level control (Active models only) has been loweredtominimumbeforeswitchingoffthepower

The Loop / Mix Switch

The LOOP/MIX switch allows you to control the signal content going to the XLR OUTPUT jack. In the “LOOP”

mode, this switch routes the signal of INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack, bypassing the EQ section

and volume control. When in the MIX mode, this switch routes the combined (or “mixed”) signals of both INPUT

A and INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack. This signal can then be sent to additional powered speakers

orpoweredsubwoofers.

6.Horn LED defeat switch: Switches off the horn power LED for discrete applications.

7.RCA L / R (Left and Right) input jacks: These jacks allow input of a stereo signal (left and right). The

signal is actively combined or “summed” providing a mono signal to the amplifier.

8.GAIN selection switch:Thisswitchselects thepropergainstructure for INPUTA. Ifamicrophone is

connected to INPUT A, use mic mode (up). If the signal source is anything other than a microphone (playback

device, keyboard or mixer output, for instance) use the line mode (down) .

9&10.POWER ON / OFF switch, POWER ´ON´ indicator LED and LIMIT indicator LED:The

switch: turns the power on and off. The bracketed LED to the left of the POWER switch illuminates when the

power switch is in the´ON´ position. The LIMIT LED illuminates when the signal limiter is limiting the level of

thesignaltopreventdistortionandoverload.

11.Output source “LOOP / MIX” switch: In the “LOOP” mode, this switch routes the signal of INPUT B to

the line level XLR OUTPUT jack, bypassing the EQ section and volume control. When in the MIX mode, this

switch routes the combined (or “mixed”) signals of both INPUT A and INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT

jack.

12.XLR / ¼” COMBO input jacks for INPUT A and INPUT B: These convenient jacks allow XLR or ¼”

balanced input connections to INPUT A and INPUT B
