Line arrays are increasingly employed in a wider range of venues and
applications. 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. To meet these needs, QSC
embarked on a program to develop the most compact, highest output line
array speaker system available.
QSC’s 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. The WideLine-8 applies to audio the classic hot rod, highperformance formula – putting the most horsepower available into the
smallest chassis possible.
Each tri-amplified WideLine-8 element uses a pair of high-power,
neodymium magnet, 8″ low-frequency drivers. Both cover low frequencies
while only one extends into the mid range, thus maintaining horizontal
dispersion control at crossover. High frequencies are handled by a
premium, 3″ diaphragm, neodymium compression driver mounted to
QSC’s patented, 140º multiple aperture diffraction waveguide. WideLine
signature wide coverage delivers a broader stereo image, reduces the
need for supplemental fill speakers and allows more placement options.
The waveguide exit extends nearly to the top and bottom of the enclosure to
create a continuous acoustical source with minimal discontinuities between
adjacent elements resulting in greatly reduced destructive interaction.
