WLA-28A
Dual 8" active line array element with internal DSP
WLA-28A is a dual 8″ active line array element from our WLA-28A System, delivering precision, power, and control for touring and fixed installation environments.
Driven by internal Class D amplifiers and advanced DSP with FIR filtering, WLA-28A ensures accurate phase-coherence, smooth frequency response, and superb clarity across its 100° x 10° dispersion. The onboard DSP includes eight selectable presets for rapid setup in a range of environments, while Ethernet connectivity (via RS485 protocol) allows full remote system management and tuning with our Pro=Link software.
With 650 W LF + 100 W HF continuous power (1300 W LF + 200 W HF peak) and delivers a maximum SPL of 132 dB @ 1 m, WLA-28A delivers impressive output in a compact enclosure. Constructed from 15 mm / 18 mm birch plywood, it integrates seamlessly with the WLA-28 Common Fly Frame, Dolly Frame, and optional protective tourbags — forming the core of a complete, flexible active array system.
