Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions for all peripheral devices such as amplifiers and
processors
Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or any other apparatus
that produces heat (for example lighting systems and amplifiers)
Use only accessories specified or supplied by Wharfedale Pro
•
•
•
Do not use shielded microphone/instrument cables to connect amplifiers and speakers, use only
approved speaker cables with proper connectors
Use caution with placement and operation of this speaker system, permanent hearing damage
can be caused by prolonged exposure to excessive sound pressure levels
Refer all servicing to qualified professionals. Servicing is required when the loudspeaker has been
damaged in any way, such as impact damage, liquid ingress or foreign object damage. In addition
the loudspeaker should be referred to qualified service personnel if there is any kind of
malfunction
Rigging, suspending and mounting should only be attempted by experience qualified
professionals. Incorrect usage can result in damage to equipment and property, injury and even
death. Under no circumstances should you attempt to rig, suspend or mount these speakers
unless you are fully qualified and certified to do so by relevant local, state and national
authorities. If you are not properly qualified or do not know of pertinent regulations consult
qualified personnel for advice. Consult a structural engineer before suspending a speaker
system and ensure that the total weight of your system can be held by the truss or mounting
surface.
Inspect all mounting hardware before your line array is flown. If there is any damage or
distortionto any mounting hardware do not fly the array until any damaged hardware is
repaired or replaced. Only use Wharfedale Pro supplied Quick release Pins, contact your
Wharfedale Pro Distributor if any quick release pins are lost or damaged.

INTRODUCTION
The WLA-210X system keeps the same design philosophies as the acclaimed WLA-25
and WLA-28 systems from Wharfedale Pro. Portable, powerful and versatile line
array solutions which are ideal for both touring and fixed installation applications.
Each WLA-210X element uses a pair of custom 10” Wharfedale Pro high-power lowfrequency drivers, while the high frequencies are handled by a premium 3.0”
titanium diaphragm, neodymium magnet compression driver connected to 100° x
10° waveguide.
The waveguide exit extends nearly to the top and bottom of the enclosure to create
a continuous acoustical source - resulting in greatly reduced destructive interaction
within the array.
The WLA-210X element also features Passive and Bi-amp modes which allows for
complete system control. The bi-amp feature enables the system designer to select
the best amplification for each driver component within the array. Such control,
when used with external signal processing such as the Wharfedale Pro Versadrive
series, gives the engineer the ultimate in system fine tuning. This, in turn, leads to
the best audio output.
The WLA-210XSUB features dual 15” LF drivers with massive 4.0” voice coils.
Specifically created for use with WLA-210X, this subwoofer can be flown or ground
stacked easily as a result of its comprehensive rigging hardware.
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 aluminium.
An elegantly simple 3-point suspension system combined with light weight, compact
size and excellent handling ergonomics mean that a one person crew can easily
deploy an array. With the WLA-210X Common Fly frame, systems can be easily
configured as flying or ground stacked in multiple combinations.
