Featuring two high-performance 8-inch LF drivers and dual 1.75-inch titanium diaphragm HF compression drivers, the WLA-28X provides powerful and balanced sound across the frequency spectrum. Its advanced waveguide design ensures consistent and controlled dispersion, making it ideal for large venues, outdoor events, and touring applications. Built with a durable plywood enclosure and reinforced rigging points, the WLA-28X offers reliability and ease of deployment in challenging environments. Engineered for scalable configurations, it integrates seamlessly into line array systems, delivering premium performance for demanding audio setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Clarity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe new neo-HF compression driver delivers additional clarity and performance with enhanced definition.

Arrays of WLA-28X line array elements can be aimed downwards by as much as 10° to cover audience areas close to a stage, as well as upward by as much as 10° in order to better cover distant balcony seating areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheely Useful\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith the WLA-28 Dolly Frame, manoeuvrability is now an added feature. The steel frame acts both as a common fly frame for flying situations AND as a dolly for ground stacking. 3 outriggers add stability to a ground stack allowing up to a maximum of 1 x WLA-28SUB plus 4 x WLA-28X’s to be configured.  Adding extra versatility to any WLA-28X system.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Amp \u0026amp; Passive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn BI-AMP mode, two power amplifiers can be used. This gives you the advantage of being able to select the best power amplifier specifications for each driver inside the loudspeaker. In a BI-AMP configuration, an external crossover is used to separate the frequencies and this splits the signal to the dedicated LF amplifier and the HF amplifier. This way, each amplifier is only working on the given frequency range and, in turn, is powering the corresponding driver inside the loudspeaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn PASSIVE mode, a single amplifier can be used to power all drivers inside the loudspeaker. The full frequency range is put into the loudspeaker and the loudspeakers’ internal crossover separates the frequencies, delivering the right frequencies to the right driver. In the example of a 2-way passive loudspeaker, this means that the single amplifier is powering both the HF compression driver and the LF transducer. The internal crossover takes care of both the frequency and power separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAMPS \u0026amp; DSP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA Versa drive DSP (such as SC-48 FIR) or a DP-N or DP-F 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\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 8” Two-way\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response (+\/-3 dB):\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 Hz-20 KHz\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity (2.83 v \/ 1 m):\u003c\/strong\u003e 101 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalculated Maximum SPL @1 m:\u003c\/strong\u003e 133 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Coverage (H x V):\u003c\/strong\u003e 100°x10°\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous \/ Programme \/ Peak: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePassive:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 W \/ 800 W \/ 1600 W\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBi-amp LF:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 W \/ 800 W \/ 1600 W\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBi-amp HF:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 W \/ 180 W \/ 360 W\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated Impedance (Ω):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePassive:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBi-amp LF:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBi-amp HF:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHF Diaphragm Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Titanium\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHF Magnet Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eNdFeB\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLF Magnet Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ferrite\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLF Frame Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHF Coil Size (inches\/mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0” (75 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLF Coil Size (inches\/mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0” (51.6 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 KHz\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trapezoid\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Material and finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 mm \/ 15 mm Plywood\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black paint\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrille Material \u0026amp; Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 mm Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neutrik NL4MP\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integral side plate adjustable rigging 0°-10°\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65.0 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003e18 x 30 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70.5 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShipping Dimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003e21 x 33 x 13\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wharfedale Pro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45931483726077,"sku":"H-WHAR-WLA28X","price":904.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2308\/3005\/files\/d5ab34fd-c8ea-4505-9d17-3598be7f7b95.jpg?v=1759811638","url":"https:\/\/hollywooddj.com\/products\/wharfedale-wla-28x-dual-8-inch-passive-line-array-loudspeaker","provider":"Hollywood DJ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
