Wharfedale Titan 8A Powered PA Speaker in Black
The baby of the Titan series, this speaker with 8 inch driver delivers 150W + 30W of powered (Bi-amped). It's ideal for smaller events including gigs, parties and functions, and even has two inputs and rudimentary mixing controls so they can be used without the need for an additional mixer.
N.B. This unit is finished in Black.
Here's what Wharfedale say about the Titan 8A
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
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.
Mixer and Controls
The Titan 8 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.
