WideLine-8System Configurations

Flexible Arrays

Arrays can be assembled using only WL3082 line arrays modules, with WL212-sw subwoofers at the top of the array, or by utilizing the EB3082 extension bar, subwoofers can be flown behind the main array.

Arrays of up to twelve WL3082 modules, with four WL212-sw subwoofers flown behind can be accommodated by the combination of 2 x AF3082-S small array frames and a single EB3082 extension bar (Figure A). As many as twelve WL3082 modules can be suspended

using one AF3082-S (Figure B) while the AF3082-L large array frame can be used to assemble arrays of up to 12 x WL3082 modules alone or suspended below up to 4 x WL212-sw subwoofers (Figure C). The AF8-10 adapter frame (not shown) allows the user to add WL3082 WideLine-8 arrays beneath WL2012 WideLine-10 arrays. The PB3082 pullback bar (not shown) can be used to attain extra down-angle in flown arrays or as a suspension bar for arrays of up to eight WL3082 modules.

WideLine-8 rigging doubles as an optimized ground stacking system. Using the WL212-sw subwoofer as a base, arrays of WL3082 line array elements can be aimed downward by as much as ten degrees to cover audience areas close to a stage, as well as upward by as much as ten degrees in order to better cover distant balcony seating areas.
