Wharfedale TITAN 8 Passive - Manual (Page 2)

T
he brand new stunning Titan™ 8 is the latest passive,
two-way loudspeaker introduced by Wharfedale Pro. The
Titan™ 8 combines the newest technologies, materials
and design topology, including a titanium compression
driver and heavy-duty cast-frame woofer, to ensure
absolute accuracy, high output and the smooth, wide
dispersion of the critical mid and high frequency ranges.
Titan™ 8 enclosure is created using state of the art, gas assist
injection moulding technology, enabling us to mould thicker, hollow
core enclosure walls, which are stronger, sonically superior and much
lighter in weight than standard injection moulded enclosures. Also, internal
laminar flow ribs further increase the rigidity of the enclosure. This intelligent
enclosure design, along with a custom Wharfedale Pro transducer is
essential in the reproduction of punchy low end down to 55Hz.
B
ecause of its functional cabinet design, the Titan™ 8 is versatile and
easily mounted in a variety of configurations. A top stacking feature is
provided for multi-loudspeaker applications and the Titan™ 8 also can be
used on its side as a stage monitor. The speaker stand receptacle features
a locking screw to ensure stability and rubber-padded carry handles make
the job of transporting the enclosure easier than ever. Cord wrap and cable
anchor features are also molded into the enclosure. Eight M6 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.
Powerful, compact, lightweight and affordable, the Titan™ 8 is the ideal
choice for installation and outdoor applications. It delivers the high level,
even dispersion and sonic integrity usually associated with much more
expensive speakers.
