Description

The Wharfedale WLA-118SUBA is an active 18″ subwoofer designed to deliver powerful and precise low-frequency performance. With its robust build, advanced DSP-based processing, and high-power Class D amplifier, this subwoofer is ideal for large venues, outdoor events, and professional sound systems. Featuring a waterproof LF cone and high-performing ferrite magnet system, the WLA-118SUBA ensures durability and consistent performance in various environments.

Active Electronics

Around the back of WLA-112A and WLA-115A are all the connections and control interfaces needed for a tidy system. Select between 8 DSP presets with FIR filters and control the system remotely with the RS485 network facility.

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-112A and WLA-115A coaxial design gives consistent coverage and is unique.

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-Inch 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!

Powercon

When interconnecting WLA series active line array elements, quality, certified power cabling should be used. Wharfedale Pro distributors also can supply Neutrik powercon cables as an accessory for sale.

These certified AC interconnecting cables use genuine Neutrik NAC3FCA and NAC3FCB connectors for the ultimate in reliability and safety. 2 meters in length allows for system configuration flexibility while keeping excess cabling to a minimum. A tidy solution for any Wharfedale Pro Active Line Array.

Talk About Angles

WLA-1A introduces a new Hybrid concept giving variable angles of 0, 5, 10 and 15 degrees.

Easily adjusted using the integral rigging brackets.
