Wharfedale Pro Titan 8 Active Speaker Speaker

Wharfedale Titan - 08 Active Speaker Grey

Our unique EWG design is the result of intensive computer modeling of natural acoustic wave propagation. To provide more acoustically transparent high-frequency pattern control, hard edges, corners, and parallel surfaces were eliminated from the design while still enabling 90 x 60 degree high frequency coverage. The smoother, more "organic" shape of the EWG design reduces high frequency distortion and diffraction eliminating acoustic artifacts found in other horn design technologies. The result is smoother frequency response, greater driver efficiency, and improved vocal and instrument reproduction.

Proprietary 90° x 60° Elliptical Wave Guide horn design
Power on indicator in horn throat and on rear panel

Titan 8 ACTIVE DESCRIPTIONS

Amplifier:
The Titan 8 Active is a self-powered, two-way professional loudspeaker system incorporating a high grade Bi-Amp Class D and Class A/B Amplifiers. The model also has intelligent electronics, such as full protection system: DC, overload, short circuit, thermal, On / Off mute and LF / HF Limiters, which protects the system from overload and allows reliable operation right up to the power limit.

The bottom of the Titan 8 ACTIVE provides a convenient built in pole mount socket for easy mounting on a standard 35mm diameter speaker stand pole.

The speaker stand receptacle features a locking screw to ensure stability.

Ten M6 threaded rigging points are provided for a variety of safe flying configurations with four of these inserts available, bottom-mounted, in an OmniMount® 30.0 bracket footprint.

The Titan 8 Active also features a switchable microhpone/line level input with adjustable gain, allowing a dynamic microphone to be used without a mixer for simple presentations
