Introduction

The WideLine-8 is a high performance line array system designed for portable and installed sound reinforcement. The current WideLine-8
family is composed of the WL3082 line array element, WL212-sw subwoofer, AF3082-S small array frame, AF3082-L large array frame,
PB3082 pull-back bar, EB3082 extension bar, and AF8-10 WideLine-8 to WideLine adapter frame. For further information on available sus-
pension, transport, and signal processing options, please visit the QSC website: http://www.qscaudio.com
The WL3082 line array element uses two high-power, neodymium magnet, 2" voice-coil, 8" low-frequency drivers in a two-and-a-half way
configuration. Both woofers produce low-frequencies but only one covers the mid-range, resulting in far better horizontal directivity con-
trol in the crossover region. Excellent high-frequency output and clarity are provided by a 3.0" voice coil, neodymium magnet compression
driver with a titanium diaphragm. The compression driver is mounted to a patented multiple-aperture diffraction waveguide that provides
an extremely wide horizontal coverage of 140ยบ. As a result, systems will rarely require side or center fill speakers and solid stereo imaging
is preserved across the listening area.
The low-frequency capability of a WL3082 array extends to 62 Hz (-10 dB); adequate for speech/vocal and acoustic music program mate-
rial. For reinforcement of program material with more demanding low-frequency content, the WL212-sw companion subwoofer is avail-
able.
