WG400 specifications

B&C Speakers has long been recognized for its innovation and excellence in professional audio systems, and the WG400 is a prime example of their commitment to quality. The WG400 is a high-performance waveguide designed for use with 1-inch compression drivers, specifically tailored for applications requiring precise sound dispersion, enhanced clarity, and impressive sound pressure levels.

One of the main features of the WG400 is its advanced waveguide design, which provides controlled directivity. By focusing sound in a specified direction, it minimizes unwanted reflections and ensures that audio is projected accurately across large venues. This feature is particularly beneficial in live sound environments, where clear and intelligible audio is paramount. The WG400’s dispersion pattern often measures at 90 degrees, making it suitable for various speaker configurations and allowing for seamless integration into existing sound systems.

The materials and construction of the WG400 are equally noteworthy. B&C Speakers utilizes high-quality, durable thermoplastic materials that withstand the rigors of professional use while maintaining excellent acoustic properties. This ensures that the waveguide not only lasts over time but also performs consistently, even under challenging conditions. Additionally, the WG400’s lightweight structure reduces the overall weight of the installation, making it easier to transport and install.

In terms of technology, the WG400 incorporates advanced engineering techniques that enhance its performance capabilities. The internal geometry of the waveguide is meticulously designed to reduce distortion and improve overall audio fidelity. This results in a smoother frequency response and wider operational bandwidth, allowing it to effectively reproduce a broad range of frequencies while delivering pristine sound quality.

The WG400 is also compatible with a wide variety of compression drivers, making it a versatile choice for audio professionals. Whether used in concert sound, fixed installations, or sound reinforcement applications, it adapts seamlessly to various setups, enhancing both midrange presence and high-frequency clarity.

In conclusion, the B&C Speakers WG400 waveguide stands out for its precision engineering, quality materials, and user-friendly design. Its ability to deliver controlled directivity and consistent performance under demanding conditions makes it an essential component in the toolkit of any professional audio engineer. With the WG400, sound clarity and audience immersion can be achieved, setting a high standard in the world of professional audio.
