Wharfedale Pro announce a new series of plastic, active loudspeakers delivering power, value and versatility. Introducing TOURUS.
Positioned beneath the well established TITAN and the flagship TYPHON series, the new TOURUS series are affordable, powerful and versatile. With a 12” and a 15” version available and with “MBT” models featuring USB mp3 playback and Bluetooth connectivity with TWS stereo link mode, the new series is for anyone needing big power and features on a compact budget.
Custom WP drivers have been selected to ensure that this affordable series have the power and timbre expected from a Wharfedale Pro loudspeaker. In addition, the amplification stages deploy both Class D (LF) and Class AB (HF) to bring power and value to this new series.
With full steel grilles, multiple handles and 4 x M8 rigging points, Tourus is well suited for installations and for hard work on the road.
A new illuminated Wharfedale Pro logo badge is also proudly shown on the front so that Tourus looks as good as it sounds.
July 2021 – New 8″ Tourus models
Wharfedale Pro announce that two new 8” models have been added to their Tourus series of plastic active loudspeakers. Tourus-AX8 and the USB/Bluetooth enabled Tourus-AX8-MBT.
These new 8” models join the Tourus 12” and Tourus 15” models which were announced in 2020.
Using the same design philosophy as the larger Tourus models, the new 8″ models have durable ABS plastic cabinets with handles, rigging points and strong full-face steel grills to protect the custom Wharfedale Pro drivers and electronics inside.
Headline specifications which make Tourus 8” models stand out from the crowd are the 250 watts of continuous output power and the use of a 1.75” HF compression driver.
As with other models of Tourus, the system is Class D bi-amplified and uses convection cooling to ensure audio clarity and long-term reliability.
The Tourus-AX8-MBT model also brings Bluetooth connectivity, a USB input for direct .mp3 / .wav file playback and a TWS link mode, allowing for wire-free stereo pairing.
With RCA, XLR and 6.3mm jack inputs, Tourus 8” models have been designed to be versatile and can be used in almost any audio application.
Tourus 8” models are also a perfect partner for the recently introduced T-Sub-AX15B active subwoofer.
The Wharfedale Pro line up of plastic active loudspeakers is as follows….
