COAXIAL FULL RANGE
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 constant curvature two way systems do not have consistent coverage in one axis at least by design.

WLA-1 coaxial design gives consistent coverage and is unique.

WLA-1 System gives constant coverage on both Horizontal and Vertical plane

HYBRID CURVATURE ARRAY
With a traditional Constant Curvature 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
EVO-Fold reduces the usual phase issues that traditional constant curvature 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.

21". YES - REALLY!
The 21″ subwoofer driver is manufactured by Beyma in Europe.

Extreme features… for extreme (and controllable) sub sound pressure levels.

DEPLOYMENT CHOICES
1

  • Configure vertically and deploy as a ‘traditional’ flying array.
  • The optional WLA-1 Common Fly Frame ensures stability and that flying is easy.

2

  • 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.

3

  • Configure a horizontal flying array.
  • The optional WLA-1 Link hardware connects three elements of either WLA-112 or WLA-115 to create a 3 unit horizontal array with 60 V x 100 H dispersion
