Wharfedale Titan 12 Portable Speaker User Manual


 
Operation
The TITAN 12 is a passive, two-way, speaker system that provides an 8 ohm impedance
load, per enclosure, to each output channel of the system power amplifier. Multiple
TITAN 12 enclosures can be “daisy-chained”, in parallel, with the impedance load
dropping in half with each additional enclosure. In other words, two TITAN 12 enclosures,
connected in parallel, will provide a 4 Ohm impedance load. Like wise, three TITAN 12
enclosures connected in parallel will provide a 2 ohm impedance load to the amplifier. Be
aware that some amplifiers are not designed to accept loads as low as 2 ohms and loads
this low can result in decreased performance and overheating of the amplifier and can
cause damage to amplifier electronics. Consult the manufacturers operating manual for
the amplifier before connecting multiple speakers together.
The HIGH FREQUENCY EQ switch provides a 3dB boost to the high frequency driver for
long throw applications. Switch selections are “BOOST” (3dB increase) and “FLAT”
(no increase).
Connections
The TITAN 12 input connections from the output of the amplifier will be via ¼” phone
jacks or Speakon® NL4 connectors that are located on the rear mounted input plate. NL4
connector pin wiring is configured as follows:
+1 =
Positive
–1 = Negative
Optional Accessories
+ Wall mount bracket – Enables surface mounting with pan and tilt positioning for
fixed installations
+ Titan Tour Bag –
Ballistic nylon zippered carrying bag with storage pocket
for cables
