User manual QSC AUDIO WIDELINE-8 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Frequently these venues have height or sightline restrictions that limit the placement and size of the array. Rising fuel costs are putting pressure on touring system providers to downsize their transportation requirements. At the same time, client and audience expectations for audio performance has never been higher. [. . . ] The extremely low profile of the WL212-sw sub (less than 15") also makes it a great choice for installed and portable use under a stage or in other tight quarters. The 4th order bandpass design matches the width of the WideLine-8 elements allowing it to be flown inline with or behind a WideLine-8 array. Premium materials are used throughout the system. The enclosure is constructed of Baltic birch plywood and coated in an environmentally friendly, waterborne polymer finish that is field repairable. To keep the weight to a minimum and prevent rust, suspension fittings are made of aluminum. An elegantly simple 4-point suspension system combined with light weight, compact size and excellent handling ergonomics mean that a one person crew can easily deploy an array. A single AF3082-L array frame suspends up to twelve line array elements or up to twelve line array elements plus four subwoofers. The WideLine-8 system is equally at home in the air or ground-stacked. Special attention is given to ground-stacked applications. The WideLine-8 sub suspension system includes a unique provision that allows the lowest line array element stacked over a sub to be tilted up or down by as much as 10º, offering better coverage of listeners near the stage. WideLine-8 subs may be used as a base for stacking up to six WideLine-8 elements. WideLine-8 Flexible Arrays System Configurations Arrays can be assembled using only WL3082 line arrays modules, with WL212-sw subwoofers at the top of the array, or by utilizing the EB3082 extension bar, subwoofers can be flown behind the main array. Arrays of up to twelve WL3082 modules, with four WL212-sw subwoofers flown behind can be accommodated by the combination of 2 x AF3082-S small array frames and a single EB3082 extension bar (Figure A). As many as twelve WL3082 modules can be suspended using one AF3082-S (Figure B) while the AF3082-L large array frame can be used to assemble arrays of up to 12 x WL3082 modules alone or suspended below up to 4 x WL212-sw subwoofers (Figure C). The AF8-10 adapter frame (not shown) allows the user to add WL3082 WideLine-8 arrays beneath WL2012 WideLine-10 arrays. The PB3082 pullback bar (not shown) can be used to attain extra down-angle in flown arrays or as a suspension bar for arrays of up to eight WL3082 modules. Figure A Figure B Figure C -10º 0º +10º Optimized Ground Stacking WideLine-8 rigging doubles as an optimized ground stacking system. Using the WL212-sw subwoofer as a base, arrays of WL3082 line array elements can be aimed downward by as much as ten degrees to cover audience areas close to a stage, as well as upward by as much as ten degrees in order to better cover distant balcony seating areas.
