Introduction

The WideLine loudspeaker system has been designed to pro- vide a compact system that has unique power handling, fre- quency response. Its primary uses include ballrooms, theatres, night clubs, houses of worship, and small to medium size events for the corporate and industrial markets.

WL2102 enclosures are constructed of lightweight cored-com- posite and weigh 70 lb (31.8 kg). WL2102-w enclosures are constructed of birch plywood and weigh 83 lb (37.7 kg). The hardware allows for simple vertical splay angle adjustment of 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10° between enclosures.

Two array frames are available. The Stacking Frame is for sus- pended applications or stacking on top of QSC’s 215SB or 215PCM subwoofers. The large array frame is for suspended or ground stack applications.

The WideLine system is suitable for stand alone applications as a full range, articulate, high fidelity, sound reinforcement product with the ability to reproduce almost any musical pro- gram without subwoofers or bass modules. It has bass response to 55 Hz (-3 dB) in a small format package. Its 3-way, bi amp or tri amp design keeps required amplification to a min- imum.

WideLine’s exceptionally wide dispersion practically elimi- nates the need for “side” or “fill” hangs when used as the main array. Its wide dispersion also provides enhanced cover- age when used as a center cluster or as a downfill or under- hang enclosure when used with larger format line array systems.

Wide dispersion is accomplished with a 3 inch (76mm) dia- phragm, 1.4” (36mm) exit neodymium high-frequency driver mounted on a proprietary, patent-pending multiple aperture diffraction-slot waveguide. This device is the ideal linear source needed for wide angle line array performance.

Internal, mid-frequency shading can be switched to either 10” (254mm) transducer. Both transducers handle the low-frequen- cies, but only the non-shaded transducer handles the mids.

This provides smoother pattern control at the mid-high cross- over. With selectable shading, the enclosures can be used as house right or left by flipping the switch, not the enclosure.

WideLine users can also use a software tool called EASE Focus to aid in the design and implementation of a WideLine array. EASE Focus can calculate the number of enclosures required for a given space (venue), determine the optimum splay angle between those enclosures, calculate at what angle to set the array frame in a single (variable) pick-point or fixed suspension point application, and predict the acoustical response and sound pressure levels throughout the venue in a two-dimensional illustration. The software is available sepa- rately; downloadable from the QSC website or contact QSC for more information.

Like all QSC Audio products, WideLine design focuses on accurate audio performance, rapid set-up, and reduced labor requirements. Ease of transportation, assembly, use, and self- contained rigging hardware make WideLine the clear choice.

WL2102, WL2102-w specifications

The QSC Audio WL2102 is a sophisticated two-way line array loudspeaker designed for versatile sound reinforcement applications. With its innovative technologies and engineering, the WL2102 offers an impressive combination of power, clarity, and reliability, making it an ideal choice for both touring and permanent installations.

One of the standout features of the WL2102 is its advanced waveguide technology, which provides exceptional horizontal coverage and ensures consistent sound distribution across a wider listening area. This technology allows for precise phase coherence and minimizes inter-element interference, resulting in a clear and balanced audio experience for audiences of all sizes.

The WL2102 is equipped with dual 10-inch woofers that deliver powerful, deep bass response, paired with a high-frequency compression driver mounted on a newly designed waveguide. This configuration not only enhances the overall sound quality but also improves the speaker's efficiency. The result is a sonic performance that can easily cut through high ambient noise levels, making it perfect for outdoor events, concerts, and large venues.

Another notable aspect of the WL2102 is its lightweight and durable design. Constructed from high-quality materials, this speaker is built to withstand the rigors of touring while remaining easy to transport and set up. The cabinet features a unique rigging system that simplifies the alignment and deployment of multiple units in a flying array, ensuring optimal sight lines and coverage angles for audiences.

The WL2102 also incorporates QSC's proprietary "Amplified Networked" technology, allowing for seamless integration into modern audio systems. This feature enables users to monitor and manage multiple loudspeakers using QSC's software solutions, providing customizable control over performance parameters and system configurations.

With a frequency response range extending from 65 Hz to 20 kHz, the WL2102 is designed to deliver a full-spectrum audio experience, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications, including live music events, corporate functions, and theatrical performances.

In summary, the QSC Audio WL2102 stands out as a powerful, versatile loudspeaker that combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features. Its advanced design, exceptional sound quality, and robust build make it an excellent choice for sound professionals seeking reliability and performance in both touring and installation settings. Whether for large venues or outdoor events, the WL2102 is engineered to meet the demands of modern sound reinforcement.
