Warnings & Safety Instructions

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

functions of this product before operating it.

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 turned on when these sources are powered up. 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.

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 this

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

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 that can cause permanent hearing damage if

operated to extremes.

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.

Thank you for purchasing the Wharfedale Pro TITAN 15!

The TITAN 15 is a new addition to our Titan Series which is based on our popular TITAN

12 model. The TITAN 15 offers superior acoustical voicing and new drivers that provide

a smooth high end response and a punchy, tight low end bass response in a portable

composite enclosure.

Features:

+Custom designed, heavy duty 15" low frequency driver

+2" titanium high frequency compression driver

+90 x 60 degree integral Elliptical Wave Guide for even high frequency dispersion

+Built in Linkwitz-Riley crossover at 1.8kHz

+DTF™ Dynamic Thermal Filament – Integral High-Frequency Driver

Overload protection

+Design for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications

+Built in, rubberized easy-grip handles for convenient transportation

+Integral pole mount adapter for stand mounting

+Trapezoidal shape for vertical arrays and horizontal stage monitor use

+Top stacking feature for easy integration of multiple enclosures

+Ten M8 threaded rigging inserts for several hang-mount options

+Bottom mounted M8 threaded inserts that ﬁt the OmniMount® 60.0 footprint

+Injection molded enclosure construction

+Integral cord wrap and cable anchor molded into the enclosure

+NL4 input connectors

Operation

The TITAN 15 is a passive, two-way, speaker system that provides an 8 ohm impedance

load, per enclosure, to each output channel of the system power ampliﬁer. Multiple TITAN

15 enclosures can be “daisy-chained”, in parallel, with the impedance load dropping in

half with each additional enclosure. In other words, two TITAN 15 enclosures, connected

in parallel, will provide a 4 Ohm impedance load. Like wise, three TITAN 15 enclosures

connected in parallel will provide a 2 ohm impedance load to the ampliﬁer. Be aware that

some ampliﬁers are not designed to accept loads as low as 2 ohms and loads this low can

result in decreased performance and overheating of the ampliﬁer and can cause damage

to ampliﬁer electronics. Consult the manufacturers operating manual for the ampliﬁer

before connecting multiple speakers together.

The HIGH FREQUENCY EQ switch provides a 3dB boost to the high frequency driver for long throw

applications. Switch selections are “BOOST” (3dB increase) and “FLAT” (no increase).

Connections

The TITAN 12 PRO input connections from the output of the ampliﬁer will be via ¼” phone jacks or

Speakon® NL4 connectors that are located on the rear mounted input plate. NL4 connector pin wir-

ing is conﬁgured as follows:

+1 = Positive

-1 = Negative

Optional Accessories

+ Wall mount bracket – Enables surface mounting with pan and tilt positioning for

ﬁxed installations

+ Titan Tour Bag – Ballistic nylon zippered carrying bag with storage pocket for cables.
