Wharfedale WPM-1 Vocal Monitor

All too often monitoring vocals on stage is awkward. Whether a floor monitor is just too low or the vocal mix isn't quite right - it can be frustrating for a singer who simply wants to perform. The WPM-1 vocal monitor helps singers by providing greater control and positioning flexibility so the live mix is just right all the time.

The Wharfedale WPM-1 needn't just be for singers either. It sits on a normal mic stand so it can provide ear-level monitoring for any musician whether they be a drummer, keyboard player, guitarist or anything else. The WPM-1 is compact and features a thru output so you can manipulate the raw vocal without the front-of-house engineer touching it and send a completely untouched signal to FOH as well making the WPM-1 a versatile solution for any musician who requires a personal monitor mix.

Here's what Wharfedale say about the WPM-1

The WPM-1 from Wharfedale Pro is a personal monitoring solution with a number of great features that suit performers and artists who demand perfect monitor mixes and total control. A 5" full range driver is matched to the on-board processing, EQ and amplification to provide clear, natural and intelligible vocal foldback.

The WPM-1 can be stand mounted with straight or boom mic stands, alternatively the WPM-1 can be placed on the stage itself for maximum versatility. Front panel controls allow you to fine tune your onstage vocal sound and the integration of your monitor mix. With a WPM-1 you no longer get the monitor mix that your engineer supplies, you hear exactly what you want to hear. 

The balanced microphone input has a through output so your performance can be seamlessly integrated into the front of house mix. The WPM-1 also includes an instrument/line level input and mix output, facilitating use as a small format personal mixer with 3 inputs. This versatile interfacing allows the WPM-1 to fit into the widest range of on stage situations.

The WPM-1 uses the same high tech gas assist injection moulding techniques as used in our famous Titan Series loudspeakers, ensuring road tough reliability and ultra light portability.
