Wharfedale WLA 112A – 12″ Curvature Array Driver Element (Active)

The WLA-112 WLA Series 1800W Peak 12″ Line-Array Passive PA Speaker by Wharfedale Pro has a 4 inch low frequency voice coil to handle the lows.

The science behind the new WLA-1 Hybrid Curvature Array is intense. The new WLA-1 system has been engineered by IAG’s International R&D team to be highly versatile – making it perfect for touring and fixed installations.

The drivers inside are very special. Designed and Engineered by Wharfedale Pro UK and manufactured in Europe by Beyma, the fullrange WLA-112 elements use a coaxial design in combination with the exclusive incredible EVO-Fold high frequency waveguide. This design provides consistent dispersion coverage on both the horizontal and vertical planes with the sound radiating from one, singular and coherent, source. Together with the dedicated FIR pre-sets library a flatter phase front is granted allowing outstanding audio quality performance.

This highly engineered solution combats issues that traditional constant curvature two way systems suffer from due to physical spacing between the drive units. The WLA-1 system can easily be configured in 3 different ways. As a sub-top pole mount, as a flown array with the optional Common Fly Frame, or as a Horizontal system with the optional WLA-1 Link hardware. Such versatility allows for users to deploy the system for multiple activities. WLA-1 is a unique Hybrid Curvature Array. The science behind its development has been intense, but this extreme engineering results in an extra-ordinary system with massive lows, consistent coverage and phase coherance.
