INTERNAL DSP WITH FIR

8 x DSP Presets – built in – including FIR. Easy to get great results – fast. For the subwoofers (WLA-28SUBA and WLA-218BA) the AUDIENCE or STAGE presets can be used in an Inverted Stack Gradient array configuration.

SOFTWARE CONTROL

The network connection uses RS485 protocol and gives GUI control over the DSP parameters of each element in the array.

DUAL 8″

At the heart of the WLA-28A are 2 x 8″ custom Wharfedale Pro LF drivers.

These feature 2.0″ voice coils to ensure high efficiency and high power handling.

These perfectly matched custom transducers are what give a WLA-28A system that special sonic impact.

ABOUT THE CLARITY

The new neo HF compression driver delivers additional clarity and performance with enhanced definition.

It is custom-made by Wharfedale Pro and is coupled to a 100° x 10° waveguide.

OPTIONAL FLY FRAMES

Arrays can be assembled using only WLA-28A line array elements or with the WLA-28SUBA Subwoofers at the top of the array.

The WLA-28A Common Fly frame supports up to 12 x WLA-28A elements and a WLA-28SUBA.

OPTIMISED GROUND STACKING

WLA-28A rigging doubles up as an optimized ground stacking system, using the WLA-28SUBA subwoofer as a base.

Arrays of WLA-28A elements can be aimed downwards by as much as 10° to cover audience areas close to a stage, as well as upward by as much as 10° in order to better cover distant balcony seating areas.
