[. . . ] WideLineTM Line Array Speaker System Features of the WL3082 · Extraordinarily compact (only 20" / 508 mm wide) and lightweight (38 lb / 17. 2 kg) · High acoustic output (133 dB SPL peak) · Wide 140° horizontal coverage · High power, 8" neodymium LF / MF drivers provide low-frequency extension to 62 Hz without subwoofers · 3" diaphragm compression driver on QSC's patented 140º multiple diffraction aperture waveguide (Patent No. 7, 177, 437) · Simple, easy-to-use rigging system supports arrays of up to 12 units with 10:1 design factor · Flexible ground stack capability · Fully supported in EASE and EASE Focus acoustic software WideLine-8 WL3082 | WL212-sw Features of the WL212-sw · Dual 12" subwoofer in a 4th order bandpass enclosure · 135 dB SPL peak output capability · Frequency range to 32 Hz (-10 dB down point) · May be suspended at the top of a WL3082 array or behind the array · Integral suspension hardware also supports WL3082 in ground stack applications Designed for the most demanding concert and installation audio professionals, the WideLine-8 system sets new standards for astonishing acoustical performance and compact size. Line arrays are increasingly employed in a wider range of venues and applications. [. . . ] WideLine signature wide coverage delivers a broader stereo image, reduces the need for supplemental fill speakers and allows more placement options. The waveguide exit extends nearly to the top and bottom of the enclosure to create a continuous acoustical source with minimal discontinuities between adjacent elements resulting in greatly reduced destructive interaction. The WideLine-8 sub sets a new benchmark for extraordinary acoustic output from a miniscule enclosure. At first glance, the enclosure seems too small to even house its pair of 4" voice-coil, long-excursion 12" woofers, yet it produces 135 dB (peak) SPL and has LF extension to 32 Hz, with the punch needed for popular music. The extremely low profile of the WL212-sw sub (less than 15") also makes it a great choice for installed and portable use under a stage or in other tight quarters. The 4th order bandpass design matches the width of the WideLine-8 elements allowing it to be flown inline with or behind a WideLine-8 array. The enclosure is constructed of Baltic birch plywood and coated in an environmentally friendly, waterborne polymer finish that is field repairable. To keep the weight to a minimum and prevent rust, suspension fittings are made of aluminum. An elegantly simple 4-point suspension system combined with light weight, compact size and excellent handling ergonomics mean that a one person crew can easily deploy an array. A single AF3082-L array frame suspends up to twelve line array elements or up to twelve line array elements plus four subwoofers. The WideLine-8 system is equally at home in the air or ground-stacked. The WideLine-8 sub suspension system includes a unique provision that allows the lowest line array element stacked over a sub to be tilted up or down by as much as 10º, offering better coverage of listeners near the stage. WideLine-8 subs may be used as a base for stacking up to six WideLine-8 elements. WideLine-8 Flexible Arrays System Configurations Arrays can be assembled using only WL3082 line arrays modules, with WL212-sw subwoofers at the top of the array, or by utilizing the EB3082 extension bar, subwoofers can be flown behind the main array. Arrays of up to twelve WL3082 modules, with four WL212-sw subwoofers flown behind can be accommodated by the combination of 2 x AF3082-S small array frames and a single EB3082 extension bar (Figure A). As many as twelve WL3082 modules can be suspended using one AF3082-S (Figure B) while the AF3082-L large array frame can be used to assemble arrays of up to 12 x WL3082 modules alone or suspended below up to 4 x WL212-sw subwoofers (Figure C). The AF8-10 adapter frame (not shown) allows the user to add WL3082 WideLine-8 arrays beneath WL2012 WideLine-10 arrays. [. . . ] For users needing sophisticated, programmable DSP, voicings are available for QSC BASISTM processors.
