WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. READ INSTRUCTIONS carefully before operating this product.

2. RETAIN these instructions for future reference.

3. COMPLY WITH WARNINGS – All warnings and instructions for this product

should be adhered to.

4. SETUP PROCEDURES – In order to avoid speaker damage, it is advisable to

establish and follow a pattern for powering on and off any sound system. Make sure

that all input and output level controls are at their minimum settings on all components

of the system. With all system parts connected, power on source equipment (playback

units, instruments, mixers, signal processors, etc.), BEFORE powering on the active

speakers. Power on the active speakers LAST. Wait until all system components have

stabilized, then bring up volume controls to operating level. Similarly, when shutting a

system down, always turn down the active speaker input controls and then turn off the

active speakers BEFORE shutting down other system components.

5. CABLES – Be sure to use proper shielded signal cables for all line level and

microphone level connections to and from the active speakers.

6. RIGGING – SUSPENDING – MOUNTING The rigging, suspension or mounting

of this speaker system can expose members of the public to serious health risks and

even death. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO RIG, SUSPEND OR

OTHERWISE MOUNT THIS SYSTEM UNLESS YOU ARE FULLY QUALIFIED AND

CERTIFIED TO DO SO BY RELEVANT LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL

AUTHORITIES. ALL RELEVANT SAFETY REGULATIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED. IF

YOU ARE NOT PROPERLY QUALIFIED OR DO NOT KNOW OF PERTINENT

REGULATIONS, CONSULT QUALIFIED PERSONNEL FOR ADVICE AND

ASSISTANCE.

7. 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 sound levels that could cause permanent hearing

damage.

8. SERVICING – The user should not attempt to service this product. Please

contact your local Wharfedale Pro Service Center.

UNPACKING

All Wharfedale Pro products are fully checked before leaving the factory. After

unpacking, inspect the contents for any physical damage. Retain the shipping carton

and internal packing material. Check as soon as possible that the unit is functioning

properly. In the event of any shipping damage, please contact your dealer and the

INTRODUCTION:

TITAN™ 12 ACTIVE 2-WAY POWERED LOUDSPEAKER

Congratulations! You’ve made the smart move of choosing the new Wharfedale Pro

Titan™ 12 ACTIVE, a lightweight and powerful active two-way loudspeaker designed

to produce high quality audio in any performance application.

A preeminent force in audio, with a long and distinguished history of innovation,

Wharfedale Loudspeakers was founded in 1932 by Gilbert Briggs, who built his first

loudspeakers in a small village in the county of Yorkshire, England. This quiet market

town was located in the valley of the river “Wharfe” – an area known to this day as

“Wharfedale”.

A visionary in the field of loudspeaker technology, Briggs developed the first two-way

loudspeaker – essentially the prototype of the modern loudspeaker. Today, as part of

International Audio Group, Wharfedale continues to grow as an international standard

for professional loudspeakers.

In keeping with Gilbert Brigg’s original vision, all of our transducer components are

engineered, tooled, and manufactured in our 1,500,000 square foot facility. In fact

Wharfedale is one of only a handful of manufacturers who still build all of their own

transducers.

All of which helps to explain how the new Titan™ 12 ACTIVE combines the newest

technologies, materials and design topology to ensure absolute accuracy, high output

and the smooth, wide dispersion of the critical mid and high frequency ranges.

Because of its functional cabinet design, the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE is versatile and easily

mounted in a variety of configurations. At home indoors or outdoors, on stage, in

studios, in clubs, at rehearsals, in theaters and houses of worship, the Titan™ 12

ACTIVE will provide the high standards of audio reproduction that you require.

Titan™ 12 Active Feature Set

Titan™ 12 ACTIVE DESCRIPTION

TRANSDUCERS

The Titan™ 12 ACTIVE features a custom designed, heavy-duty 12” low frequency

driver precisely matched to a high frequency 2” Titanium compression driver with

integral bi-amplification. Both drivers are designed for maximum output, wide

dispersion and precise audio signal reproduction.

AMPLIFIER

The Titan™ 12 ACTIVE features a state-of-the-art Class D low frequency amplifier

design. Class D amplifiers are known for their extended efficiency, low heat dissipation

and light weight compared to other amplifier classifications. Class D technology

allows for unparalleled audio quality in a lightweight, powered speaker system. High

frequency power is provided by a high quality, low distortion and highly efficient Class

A/B amplifier.

MIXER and CONTROLS

The Titan™ 12 ACTIVE provides basic mixing functions with a variety of input options.

Two inputs with separate level controls and a common equalization section allow for

overall balance and tonal characteristic control. Easy interfacing to external mixers

and processors provide for easy expansion to larger, more sophisticated systems.

ELLIPTICAL WAVE GUIDE™

Our unique EWG™ design is the result of intensive computer modeling of natural

acoustic wave propagation. To provide more acoustically transparent high-frequency

pattern control, hard edges, corners, and parallel surfaces were eliminated from the

design while still enabling 90 x 60 degree high frequency coverage. The smoother,

more “organic” shape of the EWG™ design reduces high frequency distortion and

diffraction eliminating acoustic artifacts found in other horn design technologies. The

result is smoother frequency response, greater driver efficiency, and improved

vocal and instrument reproduction.

PRACTICAL FEATURES

Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE also features a unique

BASS RESPONSE OPTIMIZER, or “BRO™ circuit” that works like the “loudness”

controls on vintage stereo systems. With the “BRO”™ circuit engaged, low frequency

response increases as the overall volume is decreased providing for outstanding low

frequency response at lower volume levels.

A top stacking feature is provided for multi-loudspeaker applications and the Titan™

12 ACTIVE also can be used on its side as a stage monitor. The speaker stand

receptacle features a locking screw to ensure stability and rubber-padded carry

handles make the job of transporting the enclosure easier than ever.

Cord wrap and cable anchor features are also moulded into the enclosure. Ten M8

threaded rigging points are provided for a variety of safe flying configurations with four

of these inserts available, bottom-mounted, in an OmniMount® 60.0 bracket footprint.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

WALL MOUNT BRACKET – Enables surface mounting of the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE for

fixed installations with pan and tilt positioning.

TITAN™ TOUR BAG – Ballistic nylon zippered carry bag protects your Titan™ 12

ACTIVE and features a storage pocket for cables.

The EWG™ design is designed to provide acoustically transparent high frequency

pattern control. This EWG™ waveguide (horn) enables a 90 x 60 degree high frequency

coverage.

3. Ports

There are two ports on front of the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE that are reflex tuned to provide

enhanced low frequency response from the enclosure.

4. Low frequency driver

The low frequency driver is a custom designed, high quality 12" loudspeaker.

5. Pole mount socket and bracket attachment

The bottom of the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE provides a convenient built in pole mount

socket for easy mounting on a standard 35mm diameter speaker stand pole.
