Introduction  
WH-C Centre Loudspeaker  
Centre Speaker  
Positioning  
The Wharfedale WH-C centre speaker is a dedicated centre channel unit designed for mounting  
preferably above a TV screen (as show is position A) or below a TV screen (as show in postion B). If  
the unit is mounted on top of the television, move it forward so that the front grilles are level with or  
slightly in front of the screen. This will reduce reflections from the screen and the top of the cabinet.  
The loudspeaker should be located on a stable flat surface to avoid any danger of movement when it is  
vibrated by high sound levels.  
The speaker is supplied with four self-adhesive feet. Apply one to each bottom corner of the unit before  
mounting.  
CONNECTION  
You will need a single length of twin core cable. Connect the red (+) terminal of the centre unit to the  
red (+) terminal of the amplifiers centre channel output. Connect the black (-) terminal of the centre  
unit to the corresponding black (-) terminal of the amplifier. The connection panel uses screw terminals  
- the drawing below illustrates the connection method.  
Leaving a stub of 5mm protruding from the wall. Align the hole in the mounting bracket over the screw head and carefully lower  
the unit onto the screw. The speaker should now be securely attached with the feet against the wall. Now connect the speakers to  
the amplifier.

WH-SR1 and WH-SR2 Loudspeakers  
The Wharfedale WH-SR1 and WH-SR2 are bipolar units designed for wall mounting and intended for use solely as rear effects  
speakers.  
In a Home Theatre System, the directional cues come from the front and centre channels. The rear channels provide ambience  
and rear perspective and for this purpose a bipolar design with its mix of direct and reflected sounds ideal. To aid this effect we  
recommend placing the WH-SR1 and WH-SR2 speakers in a high position behind the listener.  
PREPARATION  
Each speaker is supplied with four self-adhesive feet. Apply one to each rear corner before mounting.  
CONNECTIONS  
You will need one length of twin core cable per speaker. Connect the red (+) terminal of the Left rear unit to the red (+) terminal  
of the amplifiers Left rear channel output. Connect the black (-) terminal of this unit to the corresponding black (-) terminal of the  
amplifier. Repeat for the Right speaker. The connection panel uses screw terminals - the drawing above illustrates the connection.  
MOUNTING  
Connect the cable to the speaker. Site the speakers about 600 mm above the listening position and 2.5-3.5 metres apart, central  
to the listener and behind the listening position. Ensure that the wall is sound and can support the product. Fix a suitable screw  
firmly to the wall.

REAR CHANNELS  
If the rear channels are WH-SR1 or SR2 surround units, mount  
them as already described. We recommend placing the  
speakers in a high position, angled towards the listener.

As the ear is unable to detect the direction from which  
deep bass originates, this allows freedom in positioning the  
subwoofer. Varying the distance from the wall will alter the  
amount of bass. Some prefer to place the subwoofer against a  
corner of the room. This arrangement gives more bass at the  
possible expense of clarity.  
LOUDSPEAKER SIZES  
Many digital AV processors require you to specify the size of  
speakers in the various channels. These are usually 'Large' or  
'Small'.  
Unless your loudspeakers are large floor standing units, you  
should choose 'Small' for the front channels, as the subwoofer  
is going to be better at providing clean, deep, and louder  
bass. Choose 'Small' for the surround channels and also for the  
centre channel.  
REAR

Set the subwoofer options on the processor to 'On' or 'Yes'.  
This will route all the deep bass to the subwoofer.

SETTING LEVELS

Once the loudspeaker setting have been finalised, put the  
AV amplifier in to its test mode (see instructions supplied  
with your processor.). Adjust the levels until all channels are  
reproduced at equal loudness.

NOTE: On some programme material the surround channel  
may seem lower than the front. Do not readjust this level.  
You may, however, need to adjust the subwoofer output level.  
Avoid setting too high a level or you will swamp the sound  
with bass which may be tiring to listen to and may limit the  
subwoofer's ability to respond to large bass transients. Set a  
sensible level going into the subwoofer from the AV processor.  
The volume control on the subwoofer should be between 12  
o'clock and 3 o'clock.  
LFE

The Low Frequency Effects channel was designed as an  
additional bass channel with its own dedicated subwoofer. In  
practice however, if all the speakers are set to 'Small', the LFE  
channel will be combined with the bass from other channels  
and all this feeds into the subwoofer. When you set the LFE  
level from your AV processor, use care with this setting as the  
LFE channel may contain powerful low frequencies which,  
although normal in a cinema, may overload a domestic  
subwoofer.  
FRONT AND CENTRE CHANNELS  
The front channel loudspeakers should be placed on either  
side of the television screen, 2 to 3 metres apart, and rotated  
slightly towards the listeners.  
As the centre speaker carries the dialogue effects, it should  
be placed central to the listening position and close the TV  
screen.  
If, during a programme, you hear popping or thumping  
noises coming from the subwoofer, immediately turn the AV  
processor volume level down and then back off the LFE level.  
Operating height is important. Ideally, the front and centre  
USER INSTRUCTIONS: WH2.1 SYSTEM  
If this does cure the problem, back off the volume level at the  
subwoofer.  
The loudspeaker cabinets can be cleaned with a damp cloth  
or with a spray furniture polish and a soft cloth. Apply the  
spray sparingly to the cloth and then polish the cabinet. Never  
apply spray directly to the cabinet.  
Please read the relevant sections of your AV amplifier manual  
and familiarise yourself with the various issues. If you are  
unsure, consult your dealer for help.
