INTRODUCTION:

TITAN™ Sub-A15 Active Bandpass Subwoofer

Congratulations! You’ve made the smart move of choosing the new Wharfedale Pro
Titan™ Sub-A15, a powerful active subwoofer system designed to produce high quality
audio in any performance application.

A preeminent force in audio, with a long and distinguished history of innovation,
Wharfedale Loudspeakers was founded in 19 32 by Gilbert Briggs, who built his first
loudspeakers in a small village in the county of Yorkshire, England. This quiet market
town was located in the valley of the river “Wharfe” – an area known to this day as
“Wharfedale”.

A visionary in the field of loudspeaker technology, Briggs d eveloped the first two-way
loudspeaker – essentially the prototype of the modern loudspeaker. Today, as part of
International Audio Group, Wharfedale continues to grow as an intern ational standard
for professional loudspeakers.

In keeping with Gilbert Brigg’s original vision, all of our transducer components are
engineered, tooled, and manufactured in our 1,500,000 square foot factory facility. In
fact, Wharfedale is one of only a handful of manufacturers who still build all of their own
transducers.

All of which helps to explain how the new Titan Sub-A1 5 combines the newest
technologies, materials and design topology to ensur e ab solu te accur acy an d hig h
output.

Because of its functional cabinet design, the Titan Sub-A15 is versatile and app licable
in a variety of configurations. At home indoors or outdoors, on stage, in clubs, at
rehearsals, in theaters and houses of worship, the Titan Sub-A15 will provide the high
standards of low frequency audio reproduction that you require.
