IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2
Congratulations on the purchase of your DP-D series professional power amplifier. Wharfedale Pro DP-D
amplifiers are the result of many years of experience in the use, design and manufacture of professional
audio equipment.
We take great pride in engineering and building every Wharfedale Pro product and wish to thank you for
entrusting us with your sound.
From the time Gilbert Briggs built his first loudspeaker in 1932, to the present day, Wharfedale has
maintained the same standard of quality in components, workmanship and performance.
Please take the time to read this manual completely in order to ensure that you get the most from your
DP-D power amplifier.
INTRODUCTION
The advanced multi-channel DP-D series power amplifiers use Class D topology to deliver enormous output
power, all the way down to 2Ω. This makes them perfect for multi-loudspeaker systems such as line array.
Powerful internal DSP is accessible through the front panel, or through the supplied control software. This
high quality DSP delivers granular editing of EQ, Limiting, Delay, phase and filtering to the signal path,
allowing a DP-D amp to become the system controller as well as the power amplifier. This DSP removes
the need for additional external signal processing.
Input connectivity is handled either by discrete analogue XLR connectors on the rear panel or by the RS485
connectors on the front which accept AES3 digital inputs.
Housed in a 1U rack, the DP-D models are compact, and lightweight but still bring huge power with extremely
detailed levels of DSP control.

INTRODUCTION
1. RS485 control port and AES3 digital audio input ports. The two RJ45 are
connected in parallel, and the ports are defined as follows:
2. Cooling vents. Forced airflow from front to back through the air filter.
3. Integrated LCD control screen with backlight.
4. Control knob. Turn to select the DSP menu and press to confirm.
5. Mains Power switch. Used to turn the power on and off. When I is pressed, the power is turned on.
6. Mains Power input.
7. Fan. Provides forced ventilation for front to back cooling.
8. Output connectors for connection to passive loudspeakers.
In stereo or single-channel mode, connect the speakers to the socket using the following methods:
In bridge mode, use the following method to connect the speaker to the socket:
9. XLR Balanced signal input connectors.
