Description
Wharfedale Pro WLA-112A Active Hybrid Curvature Array Element (12")
The Wharfedale Pro WLA-112A is an active, bi-amplified 12" coaxial Hybrid Curvature Array element built for fast deployment and consistent audience coverage in a wide range of venues. By combining a coaxial Beyma driver with the EVO-Fold® waveguide, the WLA-112A is designed to deliver clear, uniform mid-high projection with controlled vertical dispersion for flying arrays, ground stacks, or horizontal array configurations.
Inside, powerful Class D amplification and DSP processing with FIR filters make it easier to achieve refined, repeatable results without external amp racks. With eight onboard FIR presets and RS485 networking for remote control, the WLA-112A supports tidy system wiring and quick optimization for different array sizes and deployment goals.
Active Hybrid Curvature Array Design For Consistent Coverage
The WLA-112A uses a coaxial full-range approach intended to provide consistent coverage across both horizontal and vertical planes. It also introduces hybrid curvature deployment with selectable rigging angles (0°, 5°, 10°, 15°) to help shape coverage accurately while keeping setup practical for real-world shows and installations.
Key Features Of The WLA-112A Active 12" Coaxial Array Element
