IPX6
With the same reliability and high performance characteristics as the original ‘non-F’ models, these WLA-28X ‘F’ models are IPX6 Certified.
This certification states that there should be no harmful effects when “Water is projected in powerful jets (12.5mm nozzle) against the enclosure from any direction”
With rust-proof aluminium grilles, components wrapped in wax and anti-corrosion stainless and aluminium screws and hardware, the F models are made for the rain and long-term environmental exposure.
In addition, to reduce any risk of standing water, and to help rental companies with storage, the front grille has been flattened.
AMPS & DSP
A Versadrive DSP (such as SC-48 FIR) or a DP-F / DP-N series amplifier with internal FIR filtering is highly recommended to get the most from the system. Phase, EQ and filtering should be applied and this way, the physics of the system can be truly optimised – delivering that sub-bass, power and clarity that this system can deliver.
