Introduction - Wharfedale Pro WLA Series User Manual

INTRODUCTION

The WLA-210X system keeps the same design philosophies as the acclaimed WLA-25
and WLA-28 systems from Wharfedale Pro. Portable, powerful and versatile line
array solutions which are ideal for both touring and fixed installation applications.
Each WLA-210X element uses a pair of custom 10" Wharfedale Pro high-power lowfre-
quency drivers, while the high frequencies are handled by a premium 3.0"
titanium diaphragm, neodymium magnet compression driver connected to 100° x
10° waveguide.
The waveguide exit extends nearly to the top and bottom of the enclosure to create
a continuous acoustical source - resulting in greatly reduced destructive interaction
within the array.
The WLA-210X element also features Passive and Bi-amp modes which allows for
complete system control. The bi-amp feature enables the system designer to select
the best amplification for each driver component within the array. Such control,
when used with external signal processing such as the Wharfedale Pro Versadrive
series, gives the engineer the ultimate in system fine tuning. This, in turn, leads to
the best audio output.
The WLA-210XSUB features dual 15" LF drivers with massive 4.0" voice coils.
Specifically created for use with WLA-210X, this subwoofer can be flown or ground
stacked easily as a result of its comprehensive rigging hardware.
Premium materials are used throughout the system. The enclosure is constructed of
Baltic birch plywood and coated in an environmentally friendly, waterborne polymer
finish that is field repairable. To keep the weight to a minimum and prevent rust,
suspension fittings are made of aluminium.
An elegantly simple 3-point suspension system combined with light weight, compact
size and excellent handling ergonomics mean that a one person crew can easily
deploy an array. With the WLA-210X Common Fly frame, systems can be easily
configured as flying or ground stacked in multiple combinations.
