Wharfedale Pro
The WLA-1 Hybrid Curvature Array system…..is now…..ACTIVE.
The WLA-1A active system incorporates all the incredible hardware features of its passive brother – the WLA-1 System.
The EVO-Fold waveguides, the drivers created by Beyma in Europe and the Hybrid Curvature Array configuration are all included….but the new WLA-1A Active now brings powerful internal amplification and refined internal DSP processing to the party.
It has never been this easy to achieve stunning sonic results in a huge variety of venues.
Around the back of WLA-112A and WLA-115A are all the connections and control interfaces needed for a tidy system.
Select between 8 DSP presets with FIR filters and control the system remotely with the RS485 network facility.
The 12” and 15” elements use coaxial drivers from Beyma – which are manufactured in Europe.
This coaxial design gives consistent coverage on both Horizontal and Vertical planes – while competitive traditional two-way line arrays do not have consistent coverage in one axis at least by design.
WLA-112A and WLA-115A coaxial design gives consistent coverage and is unique. (Well, except for our own Wharfedale Pro WLA-1 passive models)
WLA-1A System gives constant coverage on both Horizontal and Vertical planes
Competitive traditional constant curvature two way systems do not have consistent coverage in one axis at least by design.
With a traditional 2-way array….arrays of 6 elements or more are simply not practical.
With the WLA-1 Hybrid Curvature design, arrays of up to 6 elements can be configured.
EVO-Fold reduces the usual phase issues that traditional 2-way line arrays have due to them having the drive units physically some distance apart in the array. One specially-designed coaxial mid-high frequency driver is loaded to a unique EVO-Fold horn. The EVO-Fold horn combines a unique folded and manifold design. The most advanced FEM technology has been used to create this.
The high-mid energy exits produce a uniphasic sound in the widest range of frequencies. And visually, the detail of the EVO-Fold waveguide is a work of art.
The 21″ subwoofer driver is manufactured by Beyma in Europe.
Extreme features… for extreme (and controllable) sub sound pressure levels.
Configure vertically and deploy as a ‘traditional’ flying array.
The optional WLA-1 Common Fly Frame ensures stability and that flying is easy.
Configure on the ground.
The optional SP-4 pole easily connects the 21″ sub to the tops. Dual angle 35 mm pole sockets in the full range elements makes angle adjustments safe and easy.
Configure a horizontal flying array.
The optional WLA-1 Link hardware connects three elements of either WLA-112A or WLA-115A to create a 3 unit horizontal array with 60 H x 100 V dispersion
When interconnecting WLA series active line array elements, quality, certified power cabling should be used.
Wharfedale Pro distributors also can supply Neutrik ™ powerCON cables as an accessory for sale.
These certified AC interconnecting cables use genuine Neutrik ™ NAC3FCA and NAC3FCB connectors for the ultimate in reliability and safety.
2 meters in length allows for system configuration flexibility while keeping excess cabling to a minimum.
A tidy solution for any Wharfedale Pro Active Line Array.
WLA-1A introduces a new Hybrid concept giving variable angles of 0, 5, 10 and 15 degrees.
Easily adjusted using the integral rigging brackets.
Configure the system how you like with the WLA-1 Common Fly Frame.
Subs at the top ? WLA-115A’s or WLA-112A’s. The Common Fly Frame supports all the different models in the WLA-1A series.
