Wharfedale Titan Sub A15 - Manual (Page 6)

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE
5
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.
