Wharfedale Pro: News
Wharfedale China Trip
 

April saw another dealer trip to Wharfedale's production facility in Shenzhen - a sub-provincial city of Guangdong province in southern People's Republic of China, situated north of Hong Kong. Shenzhen is a centre of foreign investment and since the late 1970s has been one of the fastest growing cities in the world. It is also China's second busiest port, after Shanghai.*
Wharfedale's facility employs - wait for it - over 5000 people and is the centre of operations for IAG Limited (Wharfedale's parent company). From here, Wharfedale supplies products directly to over 100 countries world-wide through a simple and well-organised supply-chain.
Manny fron Mannys Musical Instruments, Paul from Drum Power, Greg from Miranda Music and Dallas from Vibrations joined CMI's Peter Trojkovic on a tour of the factory and some sampling of local culture and cuisine.
The factory is responsible for the manufacture of the Titan, SVP, EVP X, LX, Twin series' speakers, R-series, SPX-series mixers and their rack-gear range. It is an impressive facility with all the components, cabinets, amplifiers and crossovers built largely by hand. This is particularly impressive when you consider the price-points of Wharfedale products and the quality you get for your dollar - there are not many audio manufacturers who can claim that.
The dealers also had the opportunity to meet some of the people responsible for the great gear that comes out of the factory, including head designer Steve Hewett (pictured above at far right) and Ali (pictured right at far right) who is responsible for quality control at Wharfedale (and is also, interestingly, Cat Stevens'/ Yusuf Islam's brother-in-law).
All-up, the tour was a whirlwind experience, with a group of tired, but enlightened dealers who can now claim to be armed with first-hand insight into Wharfedale's production methods.

New Titan models now in stock
 

Our recent Wharfedale shipment saw the arrival of two new additions to the Titan range

Titan-8P RRP $299

Titan-15ASUB RRP $1099

The brand new stunning Titan™ 8 is the latest passive, two-way loudspeaker introduced by Wharfedale Pro. The Titan™ 8 combines the newest technologies, materials and design topology, including a titanium compression driver and heavy-duty cast-frame woofer, to ensure absolute accuracy, high output and the smooth, wide dispersion of the critical mid and high frequency ranges. The TITAN™ Sub-A15 is powerful 15 inch band pass active subwoofer. A built-in 400 watt (continuous) 600 watt (peak) amplifier conveniently accepts stereo or mono line level inputs via dual, balanced, XLR-¼” “combo” connectors as well as a unique single channel 4-speaker level input via a ¼” phone jack which allows for use with a standard sound reinforcement amplifier (when the internal amplifier is not used).

 

 
S-Series Power Amplifiers
 

The new 'S-Series' amplifiers are the latest dual channel sound reinforcement amplifier line from Wharfedale Pro. The range consists of three models: S-1000, S-1500 and S-2500. Each model is packed into a convenient, two rack space unit with identical functional layout, offering a different power rating allowing for varied and flexible sound reinforcement applications. The front panel of the S-Series models provides simple, real-time status conditions with LED indicators for Power, Protect, Bridge, Peak and Signal Present along with convenient operating controls that include a power switch and volume controls for each of the two input channels.
Various mode assignments are provided on the rear panel with easy-to-use MODE SWITCHES that provide assignment options such as signal limiting, low cut filter engagement and frequency selection, stereo and mono input mode selection and output bridging. Also featured are industry standard XLR and ¼" balanced input jacks along with 4 pin, NL-4 style Speakon™ output jacks and standard binding post output connectors. Multiple wiring output configurations are available.
The S-Series amps are fan-cooled with a cage-protected, rear panel mounted fan that provides adequate air-flow to internal components. An integral AC power circuit breaker is provided on the rear panel and a standard IEC power connector is provided. The S-Series power amplifiers are designed for ease of use, and quality audio performance in portable sound reinforcement applications.

S-1000: 500 watts a side @ 2 ohms
S-1500: 750 watts a side @ 2 ohms
S-2500: 1250 watts a side @ 2 ohms
