OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions

2. Follow all instructions

3. Keep these instructions

4. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

5. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.

6. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding plug. A polarised plug has two

blades with one wider than the other. A grounding plug has two blades and a third grounding

prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does

not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs, convenience

receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.

8. Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

9. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied by the manufacturer, or sold with

the apparatus. When a cart or rack is used, use caution when moving the cart and apparatus

combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

10. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

11. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is

advisable to establish and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system.

With all system components connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors,

record and playback units, etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from

powering up source equipment can damage speakers if amplifiers are already turned on.

Make sure that amplier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power up any system

amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that all system components be allowed to stabilize for

several seconds before any source signals are introduced or level setting adjustments are

made. Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all ampliers off rst, before powering down

any other system components.

12. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between ampliers and

speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.

13. CAUTION – These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high

sound pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive

volume levels. Permanent hearing damage can result when operated to extreme levels.

14. Refer all servicing to qualied personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been

damaged in any way including but not limited to power supply cord or plug damage, liquid

ingress, foreign objects in the chassis, exposure to rain/moisture or impact damage. In addition

the unit must be serviced when you experience any abnormal operation.

WPM-1

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your WPM-1 personal monitoring system

The Wharfedale Pro WPM-1 is the result of many years experience in the use,

design and manufacture of professional audio products. We take great pride in

engineering and building every Wharfedale Pro product and wish to thank you

for entrusting us with your sound.

From the time that Gilbert Briggs built his first loudspeaker in 1932, to the

present day, Wharfedale have maintained the same standard of quality in

components, workmanship and performance.

Please take the time to read this manual completely in order to ensure that you

get the most from your WPM-1 personal monitoring system.

ABOUT THE WPM-1

The WPM-1 from Wharfedale Pro is a personal monitoring solution with a

number of great features that suit performers and artists that demand perfect

monitor mixes and total control. A 5” full range driver is matched to the on-

board processing, EQ and amplication to provide clear, natural and intelligible

vocal foldback.

The WPM-1 can be stand mounted with straight or boom mic stands,

alternatively the WPM-1 can be placed on the stage itself for maximum

versatility. Front panel controls allow you to ne tune your onstage vocal sound

and the integration of your monitor mix. With a WPM-1 you no longer get the

monitor mix that your engineer supplies, you hear exactly what you want to

hear.

The WPM-1 also includes an instrument/line level input and mix output,

facilitating use as a small format personal mixer with 3 inputs. This versatile

interfacing allows the WPM-1 to t into the widest range of on stage situations.

The WPM-1 uses the same high tech gas-assist injection moulding techniques

as used in our famous Titan Series loudspeakers, ensuring road tough

reliability and ultra light portability.

SETUP

The WPM-1 can be used in many different ways to suit the widest range

of applications. It’s versatile shape and exible input/output congurations

ensure that the WPM-1 can t into any situation on stage.

The WPM-1 is effective when fed from a mixing console at larger venues

or when used as the overall front of house mixer at small shows. It can

be used as a oor based wedge monitor while it is equally at home when

mounted at the centre of a microphone stand.

Use the following points and diagrams to ensure you get the most out of

your WPM-1 in every possible conguration.

1. Observe correct gain structure and calibrate all inputs and

outputs.

Ensure all mic/line/instrument switching is correctly set, when

changing the settings or rewiring always check all inputs and

outputs.

Do not overload any inputs or outputs.

Be careful with EQ, less is more! Excessive EQ boost can

dramatically reduce headroom and increase the risk of feedback.

2. Ensure the WPM-1 is secure.

Only use heavy duty microphone stands that can withstand the

weight of the WPM-1 plus any other accessories including

microphones, clips, shockmounts and cables.

Check that the WPM-1 is well balanced and will not tip over.

Ensure that the correct mounting hardware is used for mounting

microphone stands.

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

MICROPHONE STAND MOUNTING PROCEDURE

1. Place an appropriate microphone stand on a stable and even

surface.

Ensure that the stand will not cause an obstruction to the stage or

front of house area.

Ensure that the polar pickup pattern of the microphone is not within

the vertical or horizontal coverage of the front of house system.

Poorly positioned microphones will greatly increase the risk

of feedback.

2. Attach the microphone stand adaptor to the threaded shaft on

the stand. If you are using a boom stand remove the boom arm

and attach the adaptor to the top of the vertical section.The

 standadaptorhasathreadadaptortocaterfor⅜”and  

 ⅝”sizes.

Observe the slot at the top of the adaptor, there is a ‘key’ within the

WPM-1 microphone stand receptacle that will t into the

slot. This system will lock the WPM-1 into place and will prevent it

from rotating during the performance. The performer will be

perpendicular to the slot.

Ensure that the adaptor is securely screwed to the microphone

stand.

3. There are 2 adaptor receptacles, one on the angled section

for use with a boom stand and one on the bottom that is

for use with straight microphone stands.

Place the WPM-1 onto the stand adaptor. Take care to allow the

weight of the WPM-1 to gently rest on the stand adaptor. Before

you release the weight of the WPM-1 make sure that it feels secure

and well balanced on the stand.

4. If you do not wish to mount a boom arm and microphone on

the top of the WPM-1 the mounting process is complete

and you are ready to make your wiring connections, jump to

step 9.

5. Screw the boom arm mounting into the base of your boom

WPM-1

When mounting a WPM-1 take steps to ensure that all elements are

stable and safe at every step of the setup procedure. If any element feels

unbalanced or unsafe revert back to the previous step and ensure that all

connections are secure. Ensure that all mounting hardware is appropriate

and capable. Incorrect mounting of this product can cause serious injury

and damage to property.

6. Remove the boom arm mount receptacle cover, keep this in a

safe place should you need it again for a different application.

7. Place the boom arm mounting into the receptacle on the top of

the WPM-1.

8. Screw the mounting into place by spinning the middle section

of the mounting hardware. You can loosen or tighten the

top section to adjust the microphone angle or tightness.

9. Attach all wiring starting with the audio connections.

The connectivity will depend on the application.

Once all audio connections are complete you are ready to connect

the AC supply, always ensure that the power switch is in the

off position and that all connected output devices are muted or have

gain/volume controls set to minimum.

Ensure that all wiring is neat and safe, take care to avoid creating

tripping hazards. Adequate length wires should be used to

avoid potential damage to connected equipment.
