IMPORTANTWARNINGS&SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS – carefully and become familiar with the features and functions of these
products before operating them.
2. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS – for future reference.
3. COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS – All warnings and instructions for this product should be adhered to.
4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is advisable to
establish and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system. With all system
components connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback
units, etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from powering up source equipment
can damage speakers if amplifiers are already turned on. Make sure that amplifier volumes are
set to their minimum settings and power up any system amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that
all system components be allowed to stabilize for several seconds before any source signals are
introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all
amplifiers off first, before powering down any other system components.
5. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and speakers.
Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.
6. RIGGING – SUSPENDING – MOUNTING – Rigging, suspending and mounting of these speaker
systems can expose members of the public to serious health risks and even death. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO RIG, SUSPEND OR OTHERWISE MOUNT THESE SPEAKERS UNLESS
YOU ARE FULLY QUALIFIED AND CERTIFIED TO DO SO BY RELEVANT LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL
AUTHORITIES. ALL RELEVANT SAFETY REGULATIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED. IF YOU ARE NOT
PROPERLY QUALIFIED OR DO NOT KNOW OF PERTINENT REGULATIONS, CONSULT QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL FOR ADVICE.
7. CAUTION – These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high sound
pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive volume levels.
Permanent hearing damage can result when operated to extreme levels.
8. SERVICE – There are no user serviceable parts inside this product. Users should not attempt to service
this product. Warranty nullification could result if this is attempted.

Wharfedale Programme Series loudspeakers are the result of many years of experience in
the use, design and manufacturing of professional loudspeaker products. We take great
pride in engineering and building every Wharfedale Pro loudspeaker and wish to thank you
for entrusting us with your sound.
Please take a few minutes to read this manual completely in order to ensure that you get
the most out of your Programme Series Loudspeaker system.
PROGRAMME SERIES OVERVIEW:
The Programme Series loudspeaker systems are designed to deliver accurate, high power
sound in a lightweight, compact and easy to install package.
Each Programme Series speaker may also be used in constant voltage distributed systems.
With an internal, switchable transformer, you can economically install a background music
or paging system, while still only using one amplifier.
The Programme Series has a speaker to fit your sound requirements. From the compact,
lightweight Programme105 to the multiple driver Programme406, or adding the Programme
Sub, you have the flexibility you need to provide the best sound value. With the included
mounting brackets, transformer option (full range), you will be impressed with the ease of
wall or ceiling mounting as well as the clear, accurate sound coming out of these speakers.

The uniform dispersion of the Programme Series makes it easy to place the speakers where
you need them, rather than trying to rearrange the room to accommodate the sound
system. For the best coverage and highest quality sound, the speakers should be located
above head. A set of wall mounting brackets is included with each pair of speakers to make
installation easy and safe.
The Programme Series are an excellent sound reinforcement or background music speaker
and can be oriented in a vertical or horizontal position. All models have been designed
for tabletop or bookshelf installation or, with the use of the included brackets they can be
mounted on the wall or ceiling.
Don’t worry about big rooms or rooms with hard to reach seats. The Programme “T” Series
speakers have a transformer to allow the use of many more speakers than you would
normally use. Use of the transformer is highlighted in the Connections/ Wiring Section.
Because the Programme subwoofer has crossovers built-in, you don’t have to invest too
much money to assemble a great sounding, foreground or background music system. The
full range Programme Series speakers come with mounting brackets, and to keep the sub
out of sight, you may use the mounting bracket that is included with the Sub.
The Programme Sub is an excellent low frequency speaker and can be placed anywhere
in the room,mounted in the ceiling or on the wall. Heavy-duty rigging hardware makes
installation easy and safe (see safety instructions at the beginning of this manual).

CONNECTIONS/WIRING
Wiring and setting up your Programme Series is as easy as plugging in a household
appliance. You simply run your speaker cables from your amplifier to one of the parallel
spring style input connectors or on the Programme Series input panel.
The Programme Series accept stripped bare end cables and SpeakOn™ connectors
(108/206/406). Attach the speaker cable securely to your Programme Series unit and power
amplifier (the amplifier should be off). Use the correct gauge of speaker cable according to
the power handling ability of your Programme Series cabinet. Use stranded insulated cable
for speaker runs. 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 Red
terminal on the amplifier and the other end to the 8Ω (+) connector on the speaker. Black is
always the ground or common and should be connected to the 8Ω (-).

OPERATINGMANUALANDUSERGUIDE
The Programme Series features an internal line-matching transformer with four power/
impedance selections for 70/100-volt line. In speaker systems, anything over 32Ω is
considered high impedance. Smaller wire can be used without excessive power loss. The
four power taps vary for each model.
• Programme 105: 7.5/15/30/60 Watts
• Programme 108/206/406: 15/30/60/120 Watts
If you are using these models, wiring is just as easy - with a few more steps. You connect
your speaker cable from the 70v or 100v output of your amplifier (or through an external
transformer) to the input terminals of the speaker. You will then have to adjust the wattage
of the transformer to the correct setting.
As you would with any audio system, you will need to figure out how many speakers that
you want to use and then divide that into the wattage of your power amplifier - you should
not exceed that load, otherwise, you will encounter distortion.
Because of the low wattage limitations of the individual speakers, this set up is normally
used in sound systems and areas where you only want to hear background music, or
occasional messages to everyone within a facility.
You connect the + (positive) side to the connector labled with the power rating and the
– (negative) to the ground (70V C/ 100V C) connector. If you are adding more speakers,
connect your speaker wire from the Red to Red and Black to Black.
