1.READ INSTRUCTIONS carefully before operating this product.

2. RETAIN these instructions.

3.COMPLY WITH WARNINGS - All warnings and instructions for this product should be adhered to.

4.USE WITH AMPLIFIERS - In order to avoid damage, it is advis- able to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off any sound system. With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment, tape decks, instruments, mixers, signal processors etc., BEFORE turning on your power amplifier. Many products output turn on and turn off transients that can damage speakers. By turning on your power amplifier LAST and making sure the amplifier’s input controls are at minimum any transients “upstream” of the amplifier are not amplified and passed to the speaker. Wait until all system parts have stabilised, then bring up amplifier controls to operating level. This should take no more than a few seconds. Similarly when shutting systems down, always turn down amplifier input controls and then turn off your amplifier BEFORE shutting down other components. Professional amplifiers often feature delayed turn on/off circuits to perform these functions for you automatically.

5.CABLES - Never use shielded or microphone cable for any speak- er connection as this will not be heavy enough to handle the amplifier load and could cause damage to the complete system.

6.RIGGING • SUSPENDING • MOUNTING

The rigging, suspension or mounting of this speaker system can expose members of the public to serious health risks and even death.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO RIG, SUSPEND OR OTHERWISE MOUNT THIS SYSTEM UNLESS YOU ARE FULLY QUALIFIED AND CERTIFIED TO DO SO BY RELEVANT LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL AUTHORITIES. ALL RELEVANT SAFETY REGULATIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED. IF YOU ARE NOT PROP- ERLY QUALIFIED OR DO NOT KNOW OF PERTINENT REGULA- TIONS, CONSULT QUALIFIED PERSONNEL FOR ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE.

7.CAUTION: These professional loudspeaker systems are capa- ble of generating very high sound pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive levels that can cause permanent hearing damage.

8.SERVICING - The user should not attempt to service this prod- uct.

SVP-15B AND SVP- 18B SUB-WOOFER:

Application

For extended bass response in a multi way (2 or more) equalized system designed for high quality reproduction of voice, music and musical instruments, for mobile or fixed installations.

Description

These cabinets are all covered in tough impact resist carpet. They are designed for portability and are fitted with heavy duty handles and a ‘kick -proof’ steel protective grille. The SVP-18B and the SVP- 15B have two 1/4” phone type jack sockets and are paralleled at the rear of each cabinet. (See diagram ).

A very special feature of these products is that they have built-in crossovers with high-pass outputs. This means that you may use

crossover region

one channel of your power amplifier to power both a subwoofer and a full-range speaker, while maintaining a reason-able load on your amplifier. The amplifier only sees the subwoofer/crossover load which is 8 ohms for SVP series subwoofers. Without the built-in crossover, the combined impedance of full-range and subwoofer speakers in parallel would be much lower. Also, the high-pass crossover output removes the very low bass frequencies from the signal going to the full-range speaker. This prevents distortion (and possible damage) from excessive low-frequency energy getting into

Unpacking

All Wharfedale Pro products are fully checked before leaving the factory. After unpacking please inspect cabinets for any physical damage. Please retain the shipping

carton if possible and internal packing material in case the unit needs to be returned. Please check as soon as possible the unit is functioning. In the event of any damage please contact your dealer immediately so that a written claim for damages can be made.

SVP 10, SVP-12,SVP-15,SVP215 Operating:

The Wharfedale Pro SVP-10, SVP-12, SVP15 and SVP-215 fea- ture two 1/4”phone jack socket connectors and are paralleled. This means that these cabinets can be linked together with other cabinets of the same impedance and design or with a sub-bass unit.

CAUTION: If you are unsure of any of thes procedures, check with your dealer or an experienced sound engineer.

(1)Ensure you do not overload the amplifier you are using by linking too many units together and lowering the resistance (impedance) below the safe operating level of the amplifier.

Note: Each speaker connected in parallel increases the load on the amplifier and can add up to a total load that may exceed the amplifier’s capabilities, leading to possible damage.Two 8Ω loud- speakers in parallel make a 4Ω total load. Four 8Ω parallel con- nected loudspeakers make a total load of 2Ω, which is too low for many amplifiers.

(2)Make sure that the speaker cable used is securely attached to the amplifier and the cabinet.

(3)Check all cables from the source unit (mixer or other source) to the amplifier. Check all power cables to all the electronic systems powering the loudspeakers and ensure that they meet with required safety standards.
