OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 amplier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power

up any system ampliers 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.

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

amplifiers and speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper

connectors.

6. 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.

7. SERVICE – There are no user serviceable parts inside this product. Users

should not attempt to service this product. Warranty nullication could result if

this is attempted.

8. RIGGING - SUSPENDING - MOUNTING - Rigging suspending or mounting of

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.

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Wharfedale Pro Delta Series loudspeakers are the result of many years of

experience in the use, design and manufacture of professional loudspeaker

products. We take great pride in engineering and building every Wharfedale Pro

loudspeaker and would like to thank you for entrusting us with your sound.

The new Delta Series Series builds on the solid reputation of its predecessors the

LX and DLX Series, both huge successes on a global scale.

The Delta Series has been designed to deliver excellent performance, build

quality and reliability in a format that is suitable for both fixed installations and

touring applications.

High output, low distortion cast frame woofers with 3” voice coils are used in

all full-range models; 2” titanium compression drivers are coupled to 90°x45°

elliptical waveguides for smooth dispersion. All subwoofers use 4" voice coils.

Comprehensive rigging points are provided for use in own applications, so Delta

is equally at home in a wide variety of xed installation and touring applications.

Rhino Rock™, our new texturised composite finish is used in all models. This

new finish combines the great look of a painted finish with the durability of a

carpet covered enclosure, giving you the best of both worlds. In addition Rhino

Rock™ helps to reduce cabinet resonances and improve sound quality. The Delta

Series is constructed with internally braced plywood and features dual angle pole

mounts to ensure that your sound is aimed directly at the audience.

All components are designed in house and built from the ground up in

Wharfedale’s own vertically integrated factory, providing the consumer with world

class performance and unparalleled value.

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

INSTALLATION

• Before attempting to install a Delta Series loudspeaker system please refer to

the important warnings and safety instructions. Only qualied personnel should

install a loudspeaker system.

Improper installation of a loudspeaker system can cause serious

harm and even death if correct procedure is not followed. Anyone

attempting installation assumes all liability arising from such use.

• Bi-amp switching - ensure that the internal passive network selector is in

the correct position. When using an external active network select the bi-amp

setting. Failiure to do his can result in damage to the drivers of your Delta Series

loudspeakers.

• Models with dual angle pole mount sockets (Delta 12 and Delta 15) have an

angled socket that angles the cabinet down by 10°. This allows more sound to be

aimed directly at the audience and less at the ceiling, reducing early reections.

Please ensure that the correct socket is used for each speaker.
