1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1

2. TYPHON - Pronounced - “TYF—ON” In ancient mythology, Typhon was a giant who brought fear to his enemies. From a similar era to the Titans, it is said that the God Typhon had the power to create and control massive wind tornadoes in his battles. Mythology also often refers to him as being invincible. Power, control and “invincibility” are all features which Typhon active loudspeakers have been designed around. Two models are available. Typhon-AX12 - a 12” 2-way 720w Continuous active loud- speaker and an aptX Bluetooth enabled brother - the Typhon-AX12-BT. A polypropylene cabinet design with a full frontal steel grille houses the most advanced active loudspeaker ever created by Wharfedale Pro. This injection moulded cabinet is carefully engineered to feature 5 carry handles making transportation easy and well balanced. Advanced internal DSP algorithms generate a sound stage which surpasses the dimen- sions of the cabinet. The two separate Class D power amps (600w RMS for the LF and 120w RMS for the HF) deliver huge output power while keeping the overall weight to minimum. The efficiency of the amplifier stage means that Typhon uses convection cooling - resulting in a more reliable product with quieter operation. Custom Wharfedale Pro transducers have been selected for Typhon. The custom com- pression driver features a 1.75” voice coil. This is coupled to a 100° x 80° waveguide for smooth HF dispersion. The custom Wharfedale Pro 12” LF transducer has a newly designed ferrite core, uses flat coil windings to aid cooling, and features a moisture rejecting cone material which allows Typhon to be used in damp or humid conditions. The Typhon-AX12-BT features aptX Bluetooth input connectivity and stereo linking which makes setup with mobile devices simple and cable free. Features • 720w continuous (1440w peak) • Full frontal steel grilles with inner cloth protection • Top and bottom practical handles • Bluetooth model available - Typhon-AX12-BT • Bi-amplified with Class D amps • 4 position DSP • 9 x M8 rigging points • 2.5” LF transducer voice coil with flat windings • 1.75” HF compression driver voice coil • 100° x 80° dispersion Hybrid Symmetry waveguide 2

1. VOLUME controls for INPUT A and INPUT B: These knobs control the level of each input channel. 2. DSP setting : (4 modes) 1) FLAT 2) MONITOR 3) BASS 4) PUNCH 3. DSP Selection With each tap of the D-EQ button, the DSP will step through each of the 4 above DSP modes. The LED will show which DSP mode is currently active. 4. Bluetooth operation (Typhon-AX12-BT only) : a. MONO Mode: Press and release the PAIR button on one speaker only. Select “Wharfedale Pro BT” on your device. The BT LED will change to solid when paired. To disconnect, press and release the PAIR button. b. STEREO Link Mode: - For use with 2 units of Typhon-AX12-BT Press and hold the PAIR button on each speaker until the ST LED is blinking. The ST LED will change to solid when Linked. Press and release the PAIR button on one speaker. Then select “Wharfedale PRO BT” on your device. The BT LED will change to solid when paired. The selected speaker will be the left channel. To disconnect, press and hold the PAIR button for 5 Seconds. Transmission distance note : A single speaker working range is about 15 meters (Bluetooth device (eg Phone) to single speaker). When using Typhon-AX12-BT in stereo link mode the working range is about 10m (Bluetooth device (eg Phone) to speaker). In this mode the linked speakers can be up to 8m apart.

5. GAIN selection switch A: This switch selects the proper gain structure for INPUT A. If a microphone is connected to INPUT A, use mic mode (up). If the signal source is anything other than a microphone (eg an analogue playback device, keyboard or mixer output) use the line selection (down). 6. GAIN selection switch B: This switch selects the proper gain structure for INPUT B. If a Bluetooth device is connected to INPUT B, use BT mode (up). If the signal source is anything other than a Bluetooth device (eg analogue playback device, keyboard or mixer output) use the line selection (down). 7. 90Hz Hi Pass Filter switch: Used to reduce bass buildup due to half space loading. This is especially useful when using the Typhon on the floor as a floor monitor. 8. Power “ON” indicator LED and LIMIT indicator LED: The bracketed LED to the left of the POWER switch illuminates when the power switch is in the ‘ON’ posi tion. The LIMIT LED illuminates when the signal limiter is limiting the level of the signal. This process prevents distortion and overload. 9. Horn LED defeat switch: Switches off the front horn power LED for discrete applications. 10. POWER ON / OFF switch: This switch turns the power on and off. 11. Output source “LOOP / MIX” switch: In the “LOOP” mode, this switch routes the signal of INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack, bypassing the EQ section and volume control. When in the MIX mode, this switch routes the combined (or “mixed”) signals of both INPUT A and INPUT B to the line level XLR OUTPUT jack. 12. XLR and ¼” input jacks for INPUT A and INPUT B.: These connectors allow XLR or ¼” balanced input connections to INPUT A and INPUT B 13. XLR line level OUTPUT: This connector provides a balanced line level output for connection to additional active loudspeakers (such as another Typhon-AX12), powered subwoofers or external amplifiers. 14. POWER cord input: Typhon uses a standard IEC, three prong, grounded AC elec trical connection. Be sure that you are plugging into the correct source voltage that matches what is indicated just below the power cord jack. 8
