TITAN™ SERIES OVERVIEW

The Titan Series are powerful, accurate, high quality loudspeaker systems with low distortion that

are designed to deliver high quality sound at a cost effective price point.

The road tough polypropylene enclosures are ultra lightweight and include rubberized handles and

cable channeling to keep wiring neat and tidy. Comprehensive rigging options suit the Titan series

to own applications and a range of wall mount options.

An Elliptical Wave Guide (EWG) provides smooth dispersion in both the horizontal and vertical

planes.

Active models feature rear panel power LED’s and a throat mounted LED to make you aware

of AC power supply from both the front and rear of the unit. The 8A MK2 model features a horn

LED defeat switch for less obtrusive aesthetics in applications such as conferencing and A/V

presentations. The BRO™ (Bass Response Optimizer) circuit on the 12A and 15A models helps

counteract loss of bass at low levels, similar to a loudness switch on home HiFi ampliers.

SETTING UP

1. Ensure the speakers power switch is in the off position (Active models only)

2. Set the level controls to minimum (Fully anticlockwise) (Active models only)

3. Set the EQ controls to 0dB (Active models only)

4. Select mic/line input (Active models only)

5. Connect all signal cables

6. Connect the power cable (Active models only)

7. Switch on source equipment, ensuring that the master level is at minimum

8. Switch on the Titan Loudspeaker (Active models only)

9. Raise the level control on the Titan (Active models only) or external amplier

10. If the limit LED illuminates lower the level control, if more level is required you will need more

speakers. Occasional ashes are acceptable. (Active models only)

11. When powering down your system ensure that the level control (Active models only) has been

lowered to minimum before switching off the power

The well behaved dispersion characteristics of the Titan series make speaker placement quick and

simple.

As with all full range loudspeakers it is recommended to place a Titan above the head level of the

audience, as the human body can absorb a huge amount of high frequency energy. Placing the

loudspeaker enclosure higher up also helps improve coverage for more even levels over a greater

audience area.

Tripod speaker stands, pole mounts, Wall brackets and rigging hardware can be used to elevate the

Titan loudspeaker. Always ensure that any accessories that are used are capable of safely elevating

the loudspeaker as incorrect rigging can be dangerous and even fatal. Please refer to the important

safety warnings section for more guidelines on rigging and suspending.

Always try to place your microphones outside the coverage of your front of house speakers to

reduce the risk of feedback.

The Loop / Mix Switch

The LOOP/MIX switch allows you to control the signal content going to the XLR OUTPUT jack. In the “LOOP”

mode, this switch routes the signal of INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack, bypassing the EQ section

and volume control. When in the MIX mode, this switch routes the combined (or “mixed”) signals of both INPUT

A and INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack. This signal can then be sent to additional powered speakers

or powered subwoofers.
