IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS – carefully and become familiar with the features and functions of

these products before operating them.

2. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS – for future reference.

3. COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS – All warnings and instructions for this product should be

adhered to.

4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is

advisable to establish and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system.

With all system components connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors,

record and playback units, etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from

powering up source equipment can damage speakers if ampliers are already turned on. Make

sure that amplier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power up any system ampliers

LAST. It is recommended that all system components be allowed to stabilize for several seconds

before any source signals are introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when

shutting systems down, turn all amplifiers off first, before powering down any other system

components.

5. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and

speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.

6. CAUTION – These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high sound

pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive volume

levels. Permanent hearing damage can result when operated to extreme levels.

7. SERVICE – There are no user serviceable parts inside this product. Users should not attempt to

service this product. Warranty nullication could result if this is attempted.

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

Wharfedale Pro SHO Lite loudspeakers are the result of many years of experience in the use,

design and manufacture of professional loudspeaker products. We take great pride in engineering

and building every Wharfedale Pro loudspeaker and would like to thank you for entrusting us with

your sound.

The SHO Lite Series has been designed to deliver excellent performance, build quality and

reliability in a format that is suitable for both xed installations and touring applications.

The new SHO Lite Series builds on our groundbreaking SHO transducer technology, proving a

higher sensitivity solution in a smaller and lighter enclosure. The newly designed woofers feature

the pioneering heat dispersion technology and increased radiating area from the original SHO

series. In our 15” models we achieve 16.5” equivalent radiating area from a standard frame 15”

chassis.

The higher sensitivity of SHO Lite enables it to produce the same extreme sound pressure levels

with less powerful amplication in a more portable form factor. The enclosures are smaller, more

lightweight and are combined with a durable painted nish and thick powder coated grille.

Four models are available in the range including 2-way 12” and 15” enclosures, a quasi 3-way 15”

enclosure and an 18” subwoofer.

All components are designed in house and built form the ground up in Wharfedale’s own vertically

integrated factory, providing the consumer with world class performance and unparalleled value.

FEATURES

• Before attempting to install a SHO Lite loudspeaker system please refer to the important

warnings and safety instructions. Only qualied personnel should install a loudspeaker system.

• Bi-amp switching - ensure that the internal passive network selector is in the correct position.

When using an external active network select the bi-amp setting.

• Models with dual angle pole mount sockets (SH-1264L & SH-1564L) have an angled socket that

angles the cabinet down by 10°. This allows more sound to be aimed directly at the audience

and less at the ceiling, reducing early reections. Please ensure that the correct socket is used

for each speaker.

• The SH-1800L has a threaded pole mount socket, use a Wharfedale Pro SP-2 threaded pole to

mount your full range speakers.
