Titan™ 12 ACTIVE DESCRIPTION

TRANSDUCERS

The Titan™ 12 ACTIVE features a custom designed, heavy-duty 12” low frequency driver precisely matched to a high frequency 2” Titanium compression driver with integral bi-amplification. Both drivers are designed for maximum output, wide dispersion and precise audio signal reproduction.

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.

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.

ELLIPTICAL WAVE GUIDE™

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.

PRACTICAL FEATURES

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.
