Titan™Series

Wharfedale Pro Titan™ Series is the result of many years of experience in the use, design and

manufacturing of professional loudspeaker products. We take great pride in engineering and

building every Wharfedale Pro loudspeaker and wish to thank you for entrusting us with your sound.

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. Wharfedale are one of the few present day manufacturers that design, engineer and

build all of our own transducers.

Please take a few minutes to read this manual completely in order to ensure that you get the most

out of your Titan™ Series Loudspeaker system.

INTRODUCTION

TITAN™ SERIES OVERVIEW

The Titan Series are powerful, accurate, high quality loudspeaker systems with low distortion

that are designed to deliver oustanding performance at a cost effective price point. An Elliptical

Wave Guide (EWG) is perfectly matched to the custom designed HF drivers and provides smooth

dispersion in both the horizontal and vertical planes.

The road tough, gas-assist injection moulded polypropylene enclosures are ultra lightweight

and include rubberised handles and cable management to make Titan the most user-friendly

portable speaker on the market. Threaded rigging points mean that Titan is equally suited to own

applications; a comprehensive range of Wharfedale Pro wall mounting options are also available as

optional extras.

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 ampliers. 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

Wharfedale Pro Products.

With advanced multi-band dynamic processing and ltering Qubit helps ne tune your system to

sound natural and open. Qubit processing optimises the loudspeaker to provide smooth digital

crossover points that are perfectly aligned. Protection is offered in the form of true independent

adaptive 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,

providing an extended phase response that remains linear throughout our natural hearing range.

A Qubit equipped system can reproduce exceptionally natural and accurate transients due to its

phase characteristics and perfect time alignment.

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. Connect all signal cables

6. Connect the power cable (Active models only)

7. Switch on source equipment, ensuring that the master level is at minimum

8. Switch on the Titan Loudspeaker (Active models only)

9. Raise the level control on the Titan (Active models only) or external amplier

10. If the limit LED illuminates lower the level control, if more level is required you will need more

speakers. Occasional ashes are acceptable. (Active models only)

11. When powering down your system ensure that the level control (Active models only) has been

lowered to minimum before switching off the power

The well behaved dispersion characteristics of the Titan series make speaker placement quick and

simple.

As with all full range loudspeakers it is recommended to place a Titan above the head level of the

audience, as the human body can absorb a huge amount of high frequency energy. Placing the

loudspeaker enclosure higher up also helps improve coverage for more even levels over a greater

audience area.

Tripod speaker stands, pole mounts, Wall brackets and rigging hardware can be used to elevate the

Titan loudspeaker. Always ensure that any accessories that are used are capable of safely elevating

the loudspeaker as incorrect rigging can be dangerous and even fatal. Please refer to the important

safety warnings section for more guidelines on rigging and suspending.

Always place your microphones outside the coverage of your front of house speakers to reduce the

risk of feedback.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

Titan™ 12D / Titan™ 15D

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

or powered subwoofers.

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

12D/15D REAR PANEL FEATURES

1. Heat Sink: The heat sink allows for dissipation of heat built up from the amplier via air cooling at the rear

of the enclosure. (Titan 8A MKII and 15D only)

2. VOLUME for INPUT A and INPUT B: These knobs control the level of each input channel (Controls the

master volume on the Titan 8A MKII)

3. HI and LOW EQ (equalization) controls: These knobs control the equalization of the overall output

signal providing +/- 10dB of gain for each band.

4. Remote Control: This Pheonix connector can be used to control the volume with an applied voltage.

5. 90Hz Monitor Filter switch: Used to reduce bass buildup due to half space loading.

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 amplier.

8. GAIN selection switch: This switch selects the proper gain structure for INPUT A. If a microphone 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

the signal to prevent distortion and overload.

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

13. POWER cord receptacle: This is a receptacle for a standard IEC, three prong, grounded AC electrical

connection cord. Be sure that you are plugging into the correct source voltage that matches what is indicated

just below the power cord jack.

14.XLR line level OUTPUT jack: This jack provides a balanced line level output for connection to additional

Titan™ ACTIVES, powered subwoofers or ampliers.
