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.
The 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 with 10:1 safety factor or up to 8 elements with 7:1 safety factor can be configured.
EVO-FOLD
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.
SUBS – 21″ and 18″ Yes – Really!
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 |
EASE FOCUS SUPPORT
WLA-1 Series have gll files available for EASE FOCUS 3.
