Peak power

WLA-312X is an advanced three-way line array speaker system capable of handling vast amounts of power – while remaining sonically clear, precise and accurate. Rated at 1410 W AES (RMS) per cabinet and boasting highly efficient custom Wharfedale Pro drivers, the WLA-312X can deliver an astonishing 138 dB Max SPL @ 1 meter.

Custom WP drivers have been selected to ensure that this series not only has the power you would expect, but the three-way configuration brings a new sonic dimension and definition.

With dual 12” woofers, a single 10” midrange driver and dual 2.55” compression drivers, the WLA-312X has everything needed for large venue coverage. In addition, there is no need to fly subwoofers within the array – the WLA-312X has already got plenty of low-end punch.

The WLA-312X is designed to be controlled and tuned with either a Wharfedale Pro Versadrive signal processor or a DP-D series amplifier. Either of these DSP systems deliver full signal routing and processing to maximise the power and sonic effect of the WLA-312X array.

With full steel grilles, multiple handles and 3 fly frame rigging points, WLA-312X is well suited for touring and for hard work on the road.

The accompanying WLA-312X Fly frame is solid! Constructed of A3 steel it can hold up to 900 kg (that’s up to 12 pcs of WLA-312X) with a safety factor of 12.

3-way configuration

With dedicated components for each of the main bandwidths, 3-way systems bring enhanced frequency definition to the listening experience.

3-way systems bring a clarity and space that can only be experienced.

GO LARGE

Any 3-way system needs tuning and DSP power.

The allocation of power and frequencies needs to be controlled to maximise the system output.

For this, DP-D series amplifiers are highly recommended. Huge power output and with comprehensive internal Digital Signal Processing, DP-D series amps are the perfect driving partner for the WLA-312X.

Such power and control allows for massive systems to be configured.

AMPS & DSP PRESETS

A Versadrive DSP (such as SC-48 FIR) or a DP-N 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.
