lb / 17.2 kg)
- 135 dB SPL peak acoustic output
- High power 8" (200 mm) neodymium LF / MF drivers provide low-frequency
extension to 62 Hz

multiple aperture diffraction slot waveguide
- Simple, easy-to-use rigging system supports arrays of up to
12 units with 10:1 design factor
- Flexible ground stack capability
- Fully supported in EASE and EASE Focus modelling software
WL212-sw Features
- Dual 12" (305 mm) woofers in a 4th order bandpass enclosure
- 135 dB SPL peak output capability
- Low-frequency extension to 32 Hz
- Can be flown at the top of a WL3082 array or behind the array
- Integral suspension hardware also supports WL3082 in ground
stack applications
Designed for the most demanding concert and installation audio professionals,
the WideLine-8 system sets new standards for acoustical performance
– even more astonishing given its compact size.
WideLine-8 packs full-size line array performance into an ultra-compact
package measuring less than 20" (508 mm) wide and 9" (229 mm) high.
Why did we make sure this is the most compact, highest output line
array speaker system available? So you can use it almost anywhere,
even in venues with height or sightline restrictions that limit the
placement and size of the array. So you can avoid rising fuel costs
by downsizing transportation. And so you can meet client and audience
expectations for audio performance that are higher than ever.

Each tri-amplified WideLine-8 element uses
a pair of high-power neodymium 8" (200 mm) low-frequency drivers.
Both generate low frequencies but only one extends into the midrange
– this maintains wide 140° horizontal dispersion control
at crossover. High frequencies are handled by a premium, 3" (75 mm)
diaphragm, neodymium compression driver mounted to QSC's patented
multiple aperture diffraction slot waveguide.
The WL3082 is designed for tri-amplification. Adding WL212-sw subwoofers
creates a 4-way active system. The WideLine-8 sub sets a new benchmark
for extraordinary acoustic output from a miniscule enclosure. At first
glance, the enclosure seems too small for its pair of 4" (102 mm)
voice coil, long excursion 12" (305 mm) woofers. The extremely low
profile (less than 15"/ 381 mm) also makes the WL212-sw sub a great
choice for installed and portable use under a stage or in other tight
quarters. The 4th order bandpass design produces 135 dB (peak) SPL
and has LF extension to 32 Hz, with the punch needed for popular music.
Enclosure width matches the WL3082 allowing it to be flown above or
behind a WideLine-8 array.
Premium materials include Baltic birch plywood with an environmentally
friendly, waterborne polymer finish that is field-repairable. Aluminum
suspension fittings keep weight to a minimum and prevent rust.
An elegantly simple 4-point suspension system combined with light
weight, compact size and excellent handling ergonomics mean that one
crewperson can easily deploy a WideLine-8 system.
Flexible
Arrays
Arrays can be assembled using only WL3082 elements for events where
extreme low end below 62 Hz is not required. For additional subbass
impact, WL212-sw subwoofers can be flown at the top of the array,
or behind the fullrange array by utilizing the EB3082 extension bar.
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. |

As many as twelve WL3082 modules can be suspended using one AF3082-S
while the AF3082-L large array frame can be used to assemble arrays
of up to 12 WL3082 modules alone or suspended below up to 4 WL212-sw
subwoofers. The AF8-10 adapter frame allows the user to add WL3082
WideLine-8 arrays beneath WL2012 WideLine-10 arrays. The PB3082 pullback
bar can be used to attain extra down angle in flown arrays or as a
suspension bar for arrays of up to eight WL3082 modules.
Optimized Ground Stacking
The WideLine-8 system is equally at home in the air or ground stacked.
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 10°, offering better coverage of listeners
near the stage. WideLine-8 subs can be used as a base for stacking
up to six WideLine-8 line array elements.
