Typhon - Pronounced - "Tyf-On - Wharfedale Pro TYPHON-AX8 User Manual

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.
Three sized models are available. 8", 12" and 15" and all sizes are available as aptX enabled
Bluetooth models with TWS linking.
A polypropylene cabinet design with a full frontal steel grill 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 dimensions
of the cabinet. The two separate Class D power amps 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 compression
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 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 -BT models feature aptX Bluetooth input connectivity and TWS stereo linking
which makes setup with mobile devices simple and cable free.
