WPS USER GUIDE
System Overview
WPS
WPS is a three-way, passive, small format line array element consisting of two bass reflex loaded 8" neodymium magnet low frequency
drivers, four 4" neodymium magnet mid frequency drivers, and four 1" neodymium magnet high frequency compression drivers loaded
on a coplanar waveguide. In conjunction with automated DISPLAY system design and VU-NET network control software applications,
WPS features scalable resolution for advanced array control, resulting in outstanding levels of consistent, high quality audio that can be
distributed to every point throughout the audience in a venue.
WPS is a new breed of small-format optimised line array which brings innovative acoustic design, ultra-high performance and coverage
consistency to a wider range of users, applications and budgets than previously possible. The three-way, passive system features reflex
loaded low-frequency, and horn-loaded mid and HF sections to raise efficiency and increase output. Its high efficiency acoustic design can
equal or outperform larger, direct radiating designs
Mechanical Design
WPS is designed to be easy to handle, safe and easy to rig. The cabinet is constructed from high grade multi-laminate birch plywood, with
an integral 3-point rigging system. Two side pocket handles and two rear grip handles make handling safe and easy, and the cabinet is
finished in black textured paint with a fabric-backed protective steel grille
Acoustic Design
The WPS low frequency section consists of 2 x 8" (203mm) long excursion bass reflex loaded neodymium drivers. Both drivers are set back
behind the walls of the HF horn, with a small volume of air in front of each driver increasing the output at the upper end of its operating
range. The LF exit apertures are spaced apart horizontally to provide useful LF horizontal pattern control.
The mid-range section consists of four close-proximity compression loaded 4" (101mm) paper drivers that raises efficiency and enter the
horn walls via annular slots close to the HF throat to sum effectively with the HF wavefront.
The high frequency section consists of 4 x 1" (25mm) horn loaded compression drivers – the use of multiple small HF drivers instead of
traditional large diaphragm CD drivers results in less distortion and extended HF response.
