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 two-way line arrays 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 planes.
Competitive traditional constant curvature two way systems do not have consistent coverage in one axis at least by design.
HYBRID CURVATURE ARRAY
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.
SUBS – 21″ AND 18″
The 21″ subwoofer driver is manufactured by Beyma in Europe.
Extreme features… for extreme (and controllable) sub sound pressure levels.
Combine the 21″ and the 18″ subs to get extended infrabass from the 21” and an extreme punch from the 18”. A combination to be experienced!

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-112 or WLA-115 to create a 3 unit horizontal array with 60 H x 100 V dispersion |
