The device described in this manual is the Wharfedale Pro SVP Series of professional sound reinforcement loudspeakers. This series includes models such as SVP-10, SVP-12, SVP-15, SVP-12M, SVP-215, SVP-15B, and SVP-18B, designed for various audio applications.
The Wharfedale Pro SVP Series loudspeakers are designed to provide reliable and high-performance sound reinforcement. They are built with proprietary, high-efficiency, high-power Wharfedale Pro drive units, ensuring robust and clear audio output. The series offers trapezoidal shaped arrays for optimal cabinet angling, which contributes to improved sound dispersion and stage monitoring capabilities. The inclusion of an integral tripod stand adapter in many models allows for flexible placement and setup, making them suitable for a variety of venues and events. The loudspeakers are designed to deliver full range and complimentary Sub Bass systems, providing a comprehensive audio solution with exceptional sound quality, particularly in the low-frequency range. The SVP-215 model, for instance, features dual drivers, enhancing its power and output capabilities for larger applications. The "B" models (SVP-15B, SVP-18B) are specifically designed as subwoofers, focusing on deep bass reproduction to complement the full-range speakers in a system. The SVP-12M is a monitor speaker, optimized for stage use to provide clear audio feedback to performers.
The SVP Series loudspeakers are characterized by their robust and durable construction, making them suitable for demanding professional environments. The trapezoidal cabinet design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, allowing for easy arraying and improved sound projection. This design is particularly beneficial for creating coherent sound fields in larger spaces. The integral tripod stand adapter in many models simplifies setup, allowing users to quickly and securely mount the speakers for optimal sound coverage. The protective grilles safeguard the drive units from physical damage during transport and use, extending the lifespan of the loudspeakers. The series also features an integral Frequency Driver Overload Protection (FDOP™) circuit, which is a crucial safety mechanism. This circuit protects the high-frequency driver from damage due to excessive input levels, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the speaker. The sophisticated crossover design enhances smooth power and frequency response, providing a balanced and natural sound across the entire audio spectrum. This design ensures that different frequency ranges are seamlessly blended, resulting in a cohesive and high-fidelity sound. The speakers are designed for high power handling, allowing them to perform effectively in loud environments without distortion. The inclusion of metal corner protectors further enhances the durability of the cabinets, protecting them from wear and tear during handling and transport. The various models within the series cater to different needs, from compact full-range speakers to powerful subwoofers and dedicated stage monitors, offering flexibility in system configuration. The "B" models are specifically designed to extend the low-frequency response of a sound system, providing a rich and impactful bass foundation.
The robust construction of the Wharfedale Pro SVP Series loudspeakers contributes significantly to their low maintenance requirements. The durable cabinet materials and metal corner protectors are designed to withstand the rigors of professional use, reducing the likelihood of damage from impacts and abrasions. The protective grilles shield the sensitive drive units from dust, debris, and physical contact, which helps to maintain their performance and extend their operational life. The integral FDOP™ circuit is a key maintenance feature, as it actively prevents damage to the high-frequency driver from overload conditions. This automatic protection mechanism reduces the need for manual intervention or costly repairs due to accidental overdriving. While the manual does not explicitly detail routine cleaning or specific repair procedures, the overall design emphasizes durability and protection, implying a reduced need for frequent maintenance. Users are advised to regularly inspect the speaker cables and connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage, as this is a common point of failure in sound systems. For any issues, users are directed to contact their authorized Wharfedale Pro dealer or distributor for information, ensuring that any necessary repairs or servicing are performed by qualified professionals using genuine parts. This approach helps to maintain the integrity and performance of the loudspeakers over time. The warning about not modifying the amplifier or speaker system without authorization also underscores the importance of professional maintenance to prevent damage and ensure safety.
