Wharfedale WLA-112A Active Hybrid Curvature Element – 12 Fashion
Description
HYBRID CURVATURE ARRAY
The WLA-1 Hybrid Curvature Array system…..is now…..ACTIVE.
The WLA-1A active system incorporates all the incredible hardware features of its passive brother – the WLA-1 System.
The EVO-Fold waveguides, the drivers created by Beyma in Europe and the Hybrid Curvature Array configuration are all included….but the new WLA-1A Active now brings powerful internal amplification and refined internal DSP processing to the party.
It has never been this easy to achieve stunning sonic results in a huge variety of venues.

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. (Well, except for our own Wharfedale Pro WLA-1 passive models)
WLA-1A 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 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.
21 . YES – REALLY!
The 21″ subwoofer driver is manufactured by Beyma in Europe.
Extreme features… for extreme (and controllable) sub sound pressure levels.
DEPLOYMENT CHOICES
Configure vertically and deploy as a ‘traditional’ flying array.
The optional WLA-1 Common Fly Frame ensures stability and that flying is easy.
