A three-way, bi-amp system, it features horn-loaded low-frequency, mid and HF sections to raise efficiency and increase output. Its high efficiency acoustic design can equal or outperform larger, direct radiator systems ; a 12-box array will throw beyond 60 metres (200ft) and deliver impressive rock levels to a 5000-seat venue, saving on truck space and weight.
The WPCs low frequency section consists of 2 x 10 (250mm) neodymium drivers in a Hybrid configuration which marries the benefits of horn and reflex loading. Each driver is slot-loaded into a short horn to give a high sensitivity of 103dB @ m/2.83V, while the rear of the driver is reflex-loaded to extend the LF output. The punch and low-frequency extension produced from such a small enclosure volume are remarkable.
Mid and HF horns are physically separate ; a key factor in the WPCs exemplary 100 horizontal constant directivity dispersion pattern. The midrange horn design utilises 2 x 5 (125mm) neodymium drivers to produce a high SPL of 109dB @ 1m/2.83V, while the HF section employs 4 x 0.7 (19mm) exit neodymium compression drivers which feed 4 individual horns. Use of multiple small HF drivers instead of a more traditionally-used large format compression driver results in less distortion and a more extended HF response.
