OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.Read these instructions

2.Follow all instructions

3.Keep these instructions

4.Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

5.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

6.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding plug. A polarised plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

7.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.

8.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

9.Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart or rack is used, use caution when moving the cart and apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

10.Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

11.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 amplifiers are already turned on.

Make sure that amplifier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power up any system amplifiers 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.

12.CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.

13.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.

14.Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way including but not limited to power supply cord or plug damage, liquid ingress, foreign objects in the chassis, exposure to rain/moisture or impact damage. In addition the unit must be serviced when you experience any abnormal operation.

15.CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not attempt to perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. In addition opening the casing will result in your warranty becoming null and void.

16.Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit. Good ventilation should be maintained around the apparatus and any vents, air-inlets or fans should not be obstructed by objects such as paper, table-cloths, curtains etc.

17.WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the apparatus to rain or moisture. The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on the apparatus.

18.WARNING: To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the boom arm in accordance with the installation instruction.

19.WARNING: The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as a disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

ATTENTION: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE-NE PAS OUVRIR

20.This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of non-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover (or back) as there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

21. (Protective earthing terminal) The apparatus should be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

22. Correct Disposal of this product. This marking indicates that this product should not be disposed with other household wastes throughout the EU. To prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources.

WPM-1

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your WPM-1 personal monitoring system The Wharfedale Pro WPM-1 is the result of many years experience in the use, design and manufacture of professional audio products. We take great pride in engineering and building every Wharfedale Pro product and wish to thank you for entrusting us with your sound.

From the time that Gilbert Briggs built his first loudspeaker in 1932, to the present day, Wharfedale have maintained the same standard of quality in components, workmanship and performance.

Please take the time to read this manual completely in order to ensure that you get the most from your WPM-1 personal monitoring system.

ABOUT THE WPM-1

The WPM-1 from Wharfedale Pro is a personal monitoring solution with a number of great features that suit performers and artists that demand perfect monitor mixes and total control. A 5” full range driver is matched to the onboard processing, EQ and amplification to provide clear, natural and intelligible vocal foldback.

The WPM-1 can be stand mounted with straight or boom mic stands, alternatively the WPM-1 can be placed on the stage itself for maximum versatility. Front panel controls allow you to fine tune your onstage vocal sound and the integration of your monitor mix. With a WPM-1 you no longer get the monitor mix that your engineer supplies, you hear exactly what you want to hear.

The WPM-1 also includes an instrument/line level input and mix output, facilitating use as a small format personal mixer with 3 inputs. This versatile interfacing allows the WPM-1 to fit into the widest range of on stage situations.

The WPM-1 uses the same high tech gas-assist injection moulding techniques as used in our famous Titan Series loudspeakers, ensuring road tough reliability and ultra light portability.
