OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

TITAN™ SERIES OVERVIEW

The Titan™ Series are powerful, accurate, high quality loudspeaker systems with low distortion that were designed to deliver high quality sound for the best value. From the Titan™ 8 (passive) to the Titan™ 15 Active models plus two powered subs, you have what it takes to assemble the system that your music deserves.

An important factor in loudspeakers is the smoothness of the sound coverage. Many speakers that may sound acceptable in the horizontal plane have problems in the vertical plane. Due to an integral high frequency Elliptical Wave Guide (EWG), the Titan™ speakers exhibit very smooth and well behaved sound dispersion characteristics in both the horizontal and vertical planes making positioning and set-up less critical. Everyone in the room will hear the same quality sound.

The Titan™ Active Series has many features to allow you greater flexibility in your sound: “BRO™ ” Bass Response Optimizer circuit, when engaged, allows for enhanced low frequency response at lower volume levels. This is very similar to a loudness switch on your home stereo amplifier.

Starting with the Titan™ 12 Active speaker, two-band EQ (equalization) is added. These tone controls provide +/-10dB in each frequency range.

Sometimes, in live performance, it is not easy to know if your speakers are working or not; they may be ahead of you when performing or they are not so close to you. To remedy this problem, there is a POWER ‘ON’ indicator LED on the back panel as well as in the throat of the horn to give you a visual indication that there is power to the speaker. There is also a LIMIT indicator LED on the back panel. The LIMIT LED illuminates when the signal limiter is actively limiting the level of the signal to prevent distortion and overload.

The Titan™ Series rugged cabinet features moulded in handles, feet, cord wrap and cable anchors moulded into the lightweight Polypropylene cabinet. It also accommodates a bottom mounted OmniMount® 60.0 bracket for wall mounting.

To make installation easier and safe, mounting and hanging brackets are available. The diagrams at the end of this manual have rigging / hanging suggestions to get the most out of your system.
