Wharfedale's 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
Amplifier
The Titan™ 12 ACTIVE features a state-of-the-art Class D low frequency amplifier design. Class D amplifiers are known for their extended efficiency, low heat dissipation and light weight compared to other amplifier classifications. Class D technology allows for unparalleled audio quality in a lightweight, powered speaker system. High frequency power is provided by a high quality, low distortion and highly efficient Class A/B amplifier.
The bottom of the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE provides a convenient built in polemount socket for easy mounting on a standard 35mm diameter speakerstand pole.
* The speaker stand receptacle features a locking screw to ensure stability.
* Ten M8 threaded rigging points are provided for a variety of safe flying
configurations with four of these inserts available, bottom-mounted, in an OmniMount® 60.0 bracket footprint.
Mixer and Controls
The Titan™ 12 ACTIVE provides basic mixing functions with a variety of input options. Two inputs with separate level controls and a common equalization section allow for overall balance and tonal characteristic control. Easy interfacing to external mixers and processors provide for easy expansion to larger, more sophisticated systems.
Bass Response Optimizer
Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE also features a unique BASS RESPONSE OPTIMIZER, or “BRO™ circuit” that works like the “loudness” controls on vintage stereo systems. With the “BRO”™ circuit engaged, low frequency response increases as the overall volume is decreased providing for outstanding low frequency response at lower volume levels.
