Wharfedale Pro Titan™ Series is the result of many years of experience in the use, design and
manufacturing of professional loudspeaker products. We take great pride in engineering and
building every Wharfedale Pro loudspeaker and wish to thank you for entrusting us with your sound.
From the time Gilbert Briggs built his first loudspeaker in 1932, to the present, Wharfedale
Loudspeakers have maintained the same standard of quality in components, workmanship and
performance. Wharfedale are one of the few present day manufacturers that design, engineer and
build all of our own transducers.
Please take a few minutes to read this manual completely in order to ensure that you get the most
out of your Titan™ Series Loudspeaker system.
INTRODUCTION
TITAN™ SERIES OVERVIEW
The Titan Series are powerful, accurate, high quality loudspeaker systems with low distortion
that are designed to deliver oustanding performance at a cost effective price point. An Elliptical
Wave Guide (EWG) is perfectly matched to the custom designed HF drivers and provides smooth
dispersion in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
The road tough, gas-assist injection moulded polypropylene enclosures are ultra lightweight
and include rubberised handles and cable management to make Titan the most user-friendly
portable speaker on the market. Threaded rigging points mean that Titan is equally suited to own
applications; a comprehensive range of Wharfedale Pro wall mounting options are also available as
optional extras.
Active models feature rear panel power LED’s and a throat mounted LED to make you aware of AC
power supply from both the front and rear of the unit. Active models also feature a horn LED defeat
switch for less obtrusive aesthetics in applications such as conferencing and A/V presentations.
The BRO™ (Bass Response Optimizer) circuit on the 12D and 15D models helps counteract loss of
bass at low levels, similar to a loudness switch on home HiFi ampliers. In addition our "D" models
feature Qubit™ 24-bit 192kHz DSP Processing.

Qubit brings the power and precision of 24-bit 192kHz DSP processing to the next generation of
Wharfedale Pro Products.
With advanced multi-band dynamic processing and ltering Qubit helps ne tune your system to
sound natural and open. Qubit processing optimises the loudspeaker to provide smooth digital
crossover points that are perfectly aligned. Protection is offered in the form of true independent
adaptive LF and HF signal limiting that helps protect against thermal damage and driver over
excursion.
Qubit has an extended frequency response that goes way beyond the capabilities of our hearing,
providing an extended phase response that remains linear throughout our natural hearing range.
A Qubit equipped system can reproduce exceptionally natural and accurate transients due to its
phase characteristics and perfect time alignment.

SETTING UP
1. Ensure the speakers power switch is in the off position (Active models only)
2. Set the level controls to minimum (Fully anticlockwise) (Active models only)
3. Set the EQ controls to 0dB (Active models only)
4. Select mic/line input (Active models only)
5. Connect all signal cables
6. Connect the power cable (Active models only)
7. Switch on source equipment, ensuring that the master level is at minimum
8. Switch on the Titan Loudspeaker (Active models only)
9. Raise the level control on the Titan (Active models only) or external amplier
10. If the limit LED illuminates lower the level control, if more level is required you will need more
speakers. Occasional ashes are acceptable. (Active models only)
11. When powering down your system ensure that the level control (Active models only) has been
lowered to minimum before switching off the power
The well behaved dispersion characteristics of the Titan series make speaker placement quick and
simple.
As with all full range loudspeakers it is recommended to place a Titan above the head level of the
audience, as the human body can absorb a huge amount of high frequency energy. Placing the
loudspeaker enclosure higher up also helps improve coverage for more even levels over a greater
audience area.
Tripod speaker stands, pole mounts, Wall brackets and rigging hardware can be used to elevate the
Titan loudspeaker. Always ensure that any accessories that are used are capable of safely elevating
the loudspeaker as incorrect rigging can be dangerous and even fatal. Please refer to the important
safety warnings section for more guidelines on rigging and suspending.
Always place your microphones outside the coverage of your front of house speakers to reduce the
risk of feedback.
