the loudspeaker should be referred to qualified service personnel if there is any kind of malfunction.
Rigging, suspending and mounting should only be attempted by experience qualified professionals.
Incorrect usage can result in damage to equipment and property, injury and even death. Under

properly qualified or do not know of pertinent regulations consult qualified personnel for advice.
Consult a structural engineer before suspending a speaker system and ensure that the total
weight of your system can be held by the truss or mounting surface.
Inspect all mounting hardware before rigging, suspending or mounting. If there is any damage
or distortion to any mounting hardware do not proceed until any damaged hardware is repaired
or replaced.
UNPACKING
All Wharfedale Pro products are fully checked before leaving our factory. After unpacking please
inspect the cabinets for any physical damage Please retain the shipping carton if possible and
internal packing material incase the unit ever needs to be returned. Please check as soon as
possible that the unit is functioning. In the event of any damage please contact your dealer

GPL Series has a more natural and prominent sound than standard point source systems.
Compact cabinets and coaxial drive unit designs make the GPL series perfect for theatre, enterprise, bars,
nightclubs and live music applications.
12 models, including bass-reflex and a band-pass subwoofer, available in either black or white finishes
means that the GPL series is serious for fixed installation projects where audio quality matters.
A unique characteristic of the GPL series is that all full range models feature an original design waveguide
horn. This allows the high frequency range to be addressed directly to the audience and reduces unde-
sired reflections. The “HQ” models of the series are equipped with a turntable constant directivity horn for
even more accurate asymmetrical coverage.

Connecting the GPL Series to your system is easy. The rear panel includes two (2) parallel NL4 and a barrier strip
connector. Run your speaker wires from your amplier to the speaker; you can use either input connector. Use the
correct gauge of stranded insulated speaker cable according to the power handling ability of your GPL Series cabinet.
It is always advisable to use heavier gauge (lower number) cables on longer runs. Be sure to connect your speakers in
proper polarity (what many refer to erroneously, as phase). This means that in normal operation, connect one end of
the same wire to the + or Red terminal on the amplier and the other end to the +1 or‘+’terminal of the barrier strip
on the speaker. The other wire is connected to the –1 pin on the NL4 or the ‘–’ (negative) terminal on the barrier
strip.
