We are not fans…of fans
ssssssh ! Just like all other Wharfedale Pro plastic active loudspeakers, the two amplifiers inside a Typhon are extremely efficient.
So efficient that they can use convection cooling. This means that there are no fans!
Fans inside loudspeakers can add to operational noise, weight, price and can lead to reliability issues. Typhon has no fan! Ssssssh! Silent and reliable operation.
IP54 Certified
All Tourus loudspeakers are IP54 Certified.IP54 certification assures that the product has
Limited protection against dust ingress.
Protection against splash water from any direction.
The picture shows some of the extreme testing that goes into Typhon series certification. All of this means that you can have full confidence installing a Typhon in extreme conditions.
DSP
New internal DSP algorithms generate a sound stage which surpasses the dimensions of the cabinet.
- FLAT ;The Flat mode is the truth. This mode is ideal for when connecting guitar effects processors directly to a Typhon-AX12. Full Range, Flat Response. Simply YOUR sound.
- MONITOR ; This mode rolls of low frequencies which are not needed when Typhon-AX12 is on the floor. High frequencies are also attenuated to reduce risk of feedback.
- BASS ; By pushing the bass frequencies, this mode is ideal when Typhon-AX12 is being used at lower volumes. It delivers a more powerful sound without having to turn the volume up.
- PUNCH ; A crisp and tight DSP mode which gives the impression of power and tightness. Use this when you really need to cut through.
BLUETOOTH and TWS Linking
The Typhon BT models feature aptX Bluetooth input connectivity and TWS linking which makes setup with mobile devices simple and cable free.
Simply pair your Bluetooth audio source (such as a smartphone or laptop) with a Typhon BT model and thats it! High quality aptX streaming makes connection easy.
Typhon BT models however also features a TWS LINK mode. This allows two Typhon BTs to communicate with each other to create a wireless stereo pair.
Lets look inside
Just like all other Wharfedale Pro plastic active loudspeakers, Typhon uses the largest HF voice coils in their class. All models use a 1.75 coil HF compression driver.
These custom made Wharfedale Pro compression driver delivers crisp and precise high frequencies, even at extreme volumes.
The internal amplifiers of Typhon have been tuned specifically for the HF and LF drivers that we have chosen. This makes for perfect power and frequency transfer, resulting in the sonic experience that youd expect from a Wharfedale Pro active loudspeaker.
