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.

With the largest voice coils and highest sensitivity in their
class, its these transducers which make TITAN X truly unique.

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.
