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.
