WLA-25
Dual 5" array element
WLA-25 is a compact two-way passive line array system that delivers powerful performance in a lightweight and portable format. It offers exceptional SPL and clarity from an enclosure that’s ideal for small to medium-scale applications.
At its core are two custom 5″ LF drivers paired with a Wharfedale Pro neodymium HF compression driver, featuring a 1.75″ voice coil and aluminium back plate for improved heat dissipation and reduced distortion under high output. The precision-engineered acoustic grille and 100° × 10° dispersion waveguide ensure accurate mid and high-frequency projection with excellent phase coherence.
Constructed from 15 mm / 18 mm birch plywood, the WLA-25 combines strength and low resonance for clean, defined sound. The integral rigging system supports flexible flying or groundstacking options using the dedicated WLA-25 Common fly frame.
Handling 120 W continuous (480 W peak) power, the WLA-25 achieves remarkable output and definition for its size — making it a perfect solution for theatres, houses of worship, and multi-function venues.
