OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - GENERAL

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and become familiar with the features and functions of these

products before operating them.

2. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS for future reference.

3. COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS – All warnings and instructions for this product should be adhered to.

4. 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 amplifier 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

amplifiers off first, before powering down any other system components. This also applies to active

or self-powered speakers, Switch them on LAST and off FIRST.

5. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and

speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.

6. RIGGING – SUSPENDING – MOUNTING – Rigging, suspending and mounting of these speaker

systems can expose members of the public to serious health risks and even death. UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO RIG, SUSPEND OR OTHERWISE MOUNT THESE SPEAKERS 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.

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 volume levels.

Permanent hearing damage can result when operated to extreme levels.

8. SERVICE – There are no user serviceable parts inside this product. Users should not attempt to

service this product. Warranty nullification could result if this is attempted.

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

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

distortion that were designed to deliver high quality sound for the best value. From the

Titan™ 8 (passive) to the Titan™ 15 Active models plus two powered subs, you have what it

takes to assemble the system that your music deserves.

An important factor in loudspeakers is the smoothness of the sound coverage. Many

speakers that may sound acceptable in the horizontal plane have problems in the vertical

plane. Due to an integral high frequency Elliptical Wave Guide (EWG), the Titan™ speakers

exhibit very smooth and well behaved sound dispersion characteristics in both the horizontal

and vertical planes making positioning and set-up less critical. Everyone in the room will

hear the same quality sound.

The Titan™ Active Series has many features to allow you greater flexibility in your sound:

“BRO™ ” Bass Response Optimizer circuit, when engaged, allows for enhanced low

frequency response at lower volume levels. This is very similar to a loudness switch on your

home stereo amplifier.

Starting with the Titan™ 12 Active speaker, two-band EQ (equalization) is added. These

tone controls provide +/-10dB in each frequency range.

Sometimes, in live performance, it is not easy to know if your speakers are working or not;

they may be ahead of you when performing or they are not so close to you. To remedy this

problem, there is a POWER ‘ON’ indicator LED on the back panel as well as in the throat of

the horn to give you a visual indication that there is power to the speaker. There is also a

LIMIT indicator LED on the back panel. The LIMIT LED illuminates when the signal limiter is

actively limiting the level of the signal to prevent distortion and overload.

The Titan™ Series rugged cabinet features moulded in handles, feet, cord wrap and cable

anchors moulded into the lightweight Polypropylene cabinet. It also accommodates a bottom

mounted OmniMount® 60.0 bracket for wall mounting.

To make installation easier and safe, mounting and hanging brackets are available. The

diagrams at the end of this manual have rigging / hanging suggestions to get the most out

of your system.

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

The uniform dispersion of the Titan™ Series makes it easy to place the speakers where you

need them, rather than trying to rearrange the room to accommodate the sound system. For

the best coverage and highest quality sound, the speakers should be located above head

level. Mounting hardware (M6/M8) and an integral tripod stand socket make installation

easy and safe. The Titan™ Series accommodates a bottom mounted OmniMount® 60.0

(Titan™ 12, 15) and OmniMount® 30.0 (Titan™ 8) bracket and has optional rigging /

hanging brackets.

Before turning on the Titan™ Series, or any powered loudspeaker, be sure that the power

switch is in the off position, volume controls are all the way down (at 0 level) and all audio

connections are made.

After power-up, speak into your mic or start the CD or MP3 player or other line level device

and slowly increase the volume to the desired level. Always remember that a speaker will

do what you tell it to do (i.e. deliver sound to the audience), but if the audience is too large

and your system too small, you will not achieve the desired sound level without a lot of

distortion. Avoid distortion as it can damage your speakers in the long term. If you cannot

achieve the desired SPL, you must add more speakers or a subwoofer to the system.

Titan™ 8 / Titan™ 12 / Titan™ 15 Passive

Connecting the Titan™ Series to your system is easy. The rear panels include NL4 and 1/4”

phone connectors in parallel. Run your speaker wires from your amplifier to the speaker.

You can use either input connector. Use the correct gauge of speaker cable according to

the power handling ability of your Titan™ Series cabinet. Use stranded insulated cable for

speaker runs. It is always advisable to use heavier gauge (lower number) cables on longer

runs. Be sure to connect your speakers in proper polarity (what many refer to erroneously,

as phase). This means that in normal operation; connect one end of the same wire to the

Red terminal on the amplifier and the other end to the + (tip) connector on the speaker.

Black is always the ground or common.

Although the location of the speakers is not often critical to your sound, there are some

guidelines to follow, especially with powered speakers, to make the sound the best it can

be.

SETTING UP/ SPEAKER PLACEMENT

• Try to plug the amplifiers (a/k/a powered speakers) into a circuit that does not have light

dimmers or refrigerators on it. When these devices are in the circuit , it is almost certain

you will get a 50Hz hum in your system that cannot be removed with a EQ.

• Make sure the speakers are above head level to make the projection of the sound as

good as it can be. Keep the speakers out of the corner of the room. Place them away from

boundaries and the microphones. Do not place them too far apart.

• When using the hanging bracket or another apparatus, use a cable safety line attached to

the speaker and a solid part of the wall - not the bracket. If the bracket fails, the speaker

will not fall down.

• If the speakers will be hanging above the audience, it often is a good idea to turn the

speakers upside down and aim the horn 2/3 of the way back in the room.This will provide

good coverage of the audience.
