VERSATILE LIGHTWEIGHT PA SPEAKERS, DURABLE FOR INDOORS AND OUT

IRIS X driver technologies

For many years the name ‘Titan’ has become the benchmark for portable and versatile loudspeakers.
TITANs are used day in, night out around the world in almost every audio environment imaginable.
Available in active or passive, black or white, TITANs deliver high quality audio with peace of mind
reliability.

Designed to perform in portable and xed installation applications alike TITANs, with their ultra-light­weight composite enclosure, oer a range of mounting options including tripod oor stands, wall
mounting brackets or even on their side as a oor monitor.

TITANs use state of the art, gas assist

mobile musician, this technology also
lends itself to installations where weight
is an issue, not to mention that the
polypropylene material and moisture
proof woofers can withstand outdoor
conditions.

The coil size and electrical sensitivity of a loudspeaker transducer is critical to its performance. Our
new TITAN X loudspeakers now include our proprietary IRIS X design which delivers Increased coil
Radius and Increased electrical Sensitivity. The radius of the coil ensures smooth heat dissipation
during prolonged high volume use, while the increased electrical sensitivity ensures that the transducer
converts as much electrical power into sound output as the laws of physics allow.
A hot transducer wastes energy, risks damage and distorts. IRIS X reduces this through improved heat

dissipation and improved eciency.
In real-world terms, IRIS X transducers deliver higher SPL with less distortion. They lead the market
with specications and are designed and built entirely within Wharfedale Pro.

DESIGN

TITAN loudspeakers are cosmetically designed

for practical, real-world applications.

On stage the trapezoidal shape allows for arrays
and to use a TITAN as a stage monitor. For
installation comprehensive mounting points
and optional hardware allows a TITAN to be
placed almost anywhere.

PASSIVE MODELS

TITAN X12 and TITAN X15

The new TITAN X12 and and X15 now feature

all-new HF and LF drivers. The IRIS X4 HF
compression driver has been completely re-

evaluated for both coverage and sound quality
ensuring a much smoother sound, especially
at high output.

The all-new LF driver has improved moisture

rejection characteristics which allows TITAN X
to be installed into hostile environments.

We have also tweaked the laminar rib cabinet

structure to improve structural strength for
durability and acoustic performance. TITAN X
raises the bar for portable PA and is built to
last.

Mounting hardware and options

Using state of the art, bi-amplied technology coupled with the same rugged build of the TITAN X
Passive speakers, TITAN AX12 and AX15 actives are ready for almost anywhere - band practice, on

stage, in studios, at rehearsals, theaters, even houses of worship.

Bi-Amplied

Engineers have selected the perfect amplier combination

for the transducers and crossovers. The AX12 and AX15

each include 2 discrete ampliers to ensure maximum
eciency and unparalleled audio quality.

Protection

Active models feature a comprehensive self protection
system to ensure reliable operation right up to the power
limit. Intelligent electronics constantly monitor for DC,
overload, short circuit, thermals and LF/HF limiting giving
you peace of mind and preventing internal damage.

Onboard mixing

A top stacking feature is provided for multi-loudspeaker applications and the TITAN X can be used on its

side as a stage monitor. The speaker stand receptacle features a locking screw to ensure stability and

rubber-padded carry handles make the job of transporting the enclosure even easier.

On the base is a convenient pole mount socket that is used
for easy mounting on a standard 35mm diameter speaker
poles. Cord wrap and cable anchor features are also moulded
into the enclosure. Threaded rigging points are provided for a

variety of safe ying congurations with four of these inserts
available, bottom-mounted.

The AX12 and AX15 active models feature handy mixing

functions. Two inputs with separate level controls allow

for overall balance and control. With easy interfacing to
external mixers and processors its simple to connect to
larger systems or to expand the system.

Flagship DSP

TITAN AX12 and AX15 active loudspeakers now feature our cutting

edge 6-position DSP engine. No other competitive model features
such powerful and eective DSP.

This new DSP engine provides sophisticated internal loudspeaker
management functions. These include limiting, compression,
signal delay, dynamic boost, dynamic cut, crossover control and
parametric EQ. Micro adjustments within each parameter ensure
sonic clarity over the full frequency range.

We’ve optimised these DSP parameters to create 6 user-friendly
settings including Monitor, Speech, Bass, Punch and an exclusive
mode called “Live”. This Live mode applies dierent DSP settings to
each of the 2 inputs - perfect for solo entertainers using a mic and

a line level source.

More Protection, Same Convenience

Wharfedale Pro Titan Tourbags
add exceptional protection to

your TITAN X loudspeakers, and
to keep the same ergonomics
and convenience the bag has
been conveniently designed
with removable front covers,
rear panels, side panels and
speaker pole sections so you can
move and install your speaker
without ever having to take the

tourbags o. The front cover

removes to show a unique mesh
material, which adds additional
protection and leaves the sound
unfettered.

TITAN X and AX models are compatible with all previous TITAN series mounting hardware and
tourbags.
