Designed for the most demanding concert and installation audio professionals, the WideLine-8 system sets new standards for acoustical performance – even more astonishing given its compact size.
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. Why did we make sure this is the most compact, highest output line array speaker system available? So you can use it almost anywhere, even in venues with height or sightline restrictions that limit the placement and size of the array. So you can avoid rising fuel costs by downsizing transportation. And so you can meet client and audience expectations for audio performance that are higher than ever.

Each tri-amplified WideLine-8 element uses a pair of high-power neodymium 8" (200 mm) low-frequency drivers. Both generate low frequencies but only one extends into the midrange – this maintains wide 140° horizontal dispersion control at crossover. High frequencies are handled by a premium, 3" (75 mm) diaphragm, neodymium compression driver mounted to QSC's patented multiple aperture diffraction slot waveguide.
The WL3082 is designed for tri-amplification. Adding WL212-sw subwoofers creates a 4-way active system. The WideLine-8 sub sets a new benchmark for extraordinary acoustic output from a miniscule enclosure. At first glance, the enclosure seems too small for its pair of 4" (102 mm) voice coil, long excursion 12" (305 mm) woofers. The extremely low profile (less than 15"/ 381 mm) also makes the WL212-sw sub a great choice for installed and portable use under a stage or in other tight quarters. The 4th order bandpass design produces 135 dB (peak) SPL and has LF extension to 32 Hz, with the punch needed for popular music. Enclosure width matches the WL3082 allowing it to be flown above or behind a WideLine-8 array.
Premium materials include Baltic birch plywood with an environmentally friendly, waterborne polymer finish that is field-repairable. Aluminum suspension fittings keep weight to a minimum and prevent rust.
An elegantly simple 4-point suspension system combined with light weight, compact size and excellent handling ergonomics mean that one crewperson can easily deploy a WideLine-8 system.
Flexible Arrays
Arrays can be assembled using only WL3082 elements for events where extreme low end below 62 Hz is not required. For additional subbass impact, WL212-sw subwoofers can be flown at the top of the array, or behind the fullrange array by utilizing the EB3082 extension bar.
Arrays of up to twelve WL3082 modules, with four WL212-sw subwoofers flown behind can be accommodated by the combination of 2 x AF3082-S small array frames and a single EB3082 extension bar. |

As many as twelve WL3082 modules can be suspended using one AF3082-S while the AF3082-L large array frame can be used to assemble arrays of up to 12 WL3082 modules alone or suspended below up to 4 WL212-sw subwoofers. The AF8-10 adapter frame allows the user to add WL3082 WideLine-8 arrays beneath WL2012 WideLine-10 arrays. The PB3082 pullback bar can be used to attain extra down angle in flown arrays or as a suspension bar for arrays of up to eight WL3082 modules.
Optimized Ground Stacking
The WideLine-8 system is equally at home in the air or ground stacked. The WideLine-8 sub suspension system includes a unique provision that allows the lowest line array element stacked over a sub to be tilted up or down by as much as 10°, offering better coverage of listeners near the stage. WideLine-8 subs can be used as a base for stacking up to six WideLine-8 line array elements.
