INTRODUCTION:

TITAN™ 12 ACTIVE 2-WAY POWERED LOUDSPEAKER

Congratulations! You’ve made the smart move of choosing the new Wharfedale Pro Titan™ 12 ACTIVE, a lightweight and powerful active two-way loudspeaker designed to produce high quality audio in any performance application.

A preeminent force in audio, with a long and distinguished history of innovation, Wharfedale Loudspeakers was founded in 1932 by Gilbert Briggs, who built his first loudspeakers in a small village in the county of Yorkshire, England. This quiet market town was located in the valley of the river “Wharfe” – an area known to this day as “Wharfedale”.

A visionary in the field of loudspeaker technology, Briggs developed the first two-way loudspeaker – essentially the prototype of the modern loudspeaker. Today, as part of International Audio Group, Wharfedale continues to grow as an international standard for professional loudspeakers.

In keeping with Gilbert Brigg’s original vision, all of our transducer components are engineered, tooled, and manufactured in our 1,500,000 square foot facility. In fact Wharfedale is one of only a handful of manufacturers who still build all of their own transducers.

All of which helps to explain how the new Titan™ 12 ACTIVE combines the newest technologies, materials and design topology to ensure absolute accuracy, high output and the smooth, wide dispersion of the critical mid and high frequency ranges.

Because of its functional cabinet design, the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE is versatile and easily mounted in a variety of configurations. At home indoors or outdoors, on stage, in studios, in clubs, at rehearsals, in theaters and houses of worship, the Titan™ 12 ACTIVE will provide the high standards of audio reproduction that you require.
