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 sized models are available. 8” and 12”. Both sizes feature the same 720w contin-

uous ampliﬁcation power and both sizes are available as an aptX Bluetooth model.

A polypropylene cabinet design with a full frontal steel grille houses the most advanced

active loudspeakers 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 LF transducers (8” in Typhon-AX8

and 12” in Typhon-AX12) have newly designed ferrite cores and use ﬂat coil windings to

aid cooling. All models feature a moisture rejecting cone material which allows Typhon

to be used in damp or humid conditions.

The Typhon-AX12-BT and Typhon-AX8-BT feature aptX Bluetooth input connectivity and

stereo linking which makes setup with mobile devices simple and cable free.

time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus

has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid

has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus has been exposed to rain

or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

17.

- This lightning ﬂash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended

to alert the user to the presence of non-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the

product’s enclosure that may be of suﬃcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric

shock.

- Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back) as there

are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualiﬁed personnel.

- The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to

the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature

accompanying the appliance.

18. Protective earthing terminal. The apparatus should be connected to a mains

socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

19. the ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with

items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.;

20. No naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

21. Attention should be drawn to environmental aspects of battery disposal.

22. The mains plug is used as disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain

readily operable.

23. The product is designed to use in moderate climates.

15. CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualiﬁed service personnel

only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than

that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualiﬁed to do so.

16. WARNING：To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus

to rain or moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and

that objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, shall not be placed on apparatus.

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 OR Typhon-AX8-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 a Bluetooth Typhon

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.

15. RCA Inputs: Typhon-AX8 and Typhon-AX8-BT only. For connection to stereo

line level audio sources.
