EXAMPLE ARRAYS & OPTIMISED GROUND STACKING
Diagrams illustrating example line array configurations. One diagram shows a vertical array of WLA-210XF speakers flown from a frame. Another diagram shows a ground stack configuration with WLA-210XSUBF subwoofers at the base, supporting WLA-210XF speakers.
Optimised Ground Stacking
The WLA-210XF rigging doubles up as an optimised ground stacking system, using the WLA-210XSUBF subwoofer as a base. The array of WLA-210XF line array elements can be aimed downwards by as much as 10° to cover audience areas close to a stage, as well as upward by as much as 10° in order to better cover distant balcony seating areas.
