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-AX15. Full Range, Flat Response. Simply YOUR sound.
• MONITOR ; This mode rolls of low frequencies which are not needed when Typhon-AX15 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-AX15 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.

Amplifiers

• The two separate Class D power amps (600w continuous for the LF and 120w continuous for the HF) deliver huge output power while keeping the overall weight to minimum.
• Bi-amplification means that each amplifier is perfectly matched to the driver it is connected to. This leads to more defined sound quality with crisper highs and more impressive lows.
• The efficiency of the amplifier stages means that Typhon uses convection cooling and has no need for an internal fan. This results in a more reliable product with quieter operation.

Transducers

• Custom Wharfedale Pro transducers have been selected for Typhon.
• The custom compression driver features a large 1.75" voice coil. This is coupled to a 100° x 80° waveguide for smooth HF dispersion.
• The custom Wharfedale Pro 15" LF transducer has a newly designed ferrite core, uses flat coil windings to aid cooling, and features a moisture rejecting cone material which allows Typhon to be used in damp or humid conditions.

Rear panel technologies

• The rear panel hosts all the controls and connections needed
• XLR inputs, balanced jack inputs and even a balanced XLR Link output.
• Sturdy switches control the powerful internal DSP and front HF driver LED.

The perfect monitor angle

• Often active loudspeakers are used as floor monitors. However, at the design stage, is can lead to a cabinet design compromises. To overcome this 'compromise' Typhon is supplied with a special wedge angle adaptor.
• This 'wedge' gives you the perfect angle for using onstage as a floor monitor, but has not compromised the fundamental shape and design of the Typhon cabinet.
