Lets look inside.

Tourus loudspeakers use the largest HF voice coils in their class. Tourus-AX12 models use a 1.75" coil which is unique at this price point.

This custom made Wharfedale Pro compression driver delivers crisp and precise high frequencies, even at extreme volumes.

The internal amplifiers 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 you'd expect from a Wharfedale Pro active loudspeaker.

We were not kidding when we said that Tourus has 'multiple inputs'.

  • XLR mic input - Check!
  • Jack line input - Check!
  • XLR Line input - Check!
  • Stereo RCA inputs - Check!
  • In addition, the Tourus-AX12-MBT model has....

  • USB thumbdrive input - Check!
  • Bluetooth input - Check!

However you connect, Tourus can take it!

Also - Tourus has handly EQ knobs to control treble and bass.

These are 'simple to use controls' but, with +/- 12dB of control, this can make a huge difference to the output timbres.

 

No Fans = silent operation and high reliability

ssssssh !

The two amplifiers inside a Tourus 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. Tourus has no fan!

Ssssssh! - Silent and reliable operation.

silent operation and high reliability

Tourus not only sounds great - but looks great too!

A new, illumated front grille logo badge adds visual power to the system!

Eye catching and cool..

Optional soft covers

With soft internal padding these optional accessories are ideal for simple transportation or as a dust cover when the Tourus is not being used.

The Tourus carry handles are easily accessible even when it is inside its Tourus Soft cover.
