About the Clarity
The new neo HF compression driver adds detail and focus. It is custom-made by Wharfedale Pro and paired with a 100° x 10° waveguide.
This Wharfedale WLA 28X is built for strong projection and defined HF performance in demanding sound applications.
Dual 8″
At the heart of this Wharfedale Speaker are 2 x 8″ custom Wharfedale Pro LF drivers with 2.0″ voice coils.
They support high efficiency and high power handling. This helps the cabinet deliver impressive output with reliable low-frequency performance.
Bi-Amp & Passive
In BI-AMP mode, two power amplifiers can be used. This allows more precise matching for each driver inside the loudspeaker.
An external crossover separates the frequencies. The LF amplifier and HF amplifier then handle their dedicated ranges.
That approach helps each amplifier work only where needed. It supports cleaner control in a Wharfedale WLA 28X PA System setup.
In PASSIVE mode, one amplifier can power all drivers inside the loudspeaker. The internal crossover handles frequency separation.
This makes setup simpler while still sending the right frequencies to the right driver. It is practical for many Wharfedale WLA 28X Professional Audio uses.
