WideLine-8  
WideLine™ Line Array Speaker System  
Features of the WL3082  
WL3082 | WL212-sw  
• Extraordinarily compact (only 20"/508 mm wide) and lightweight  
(38 lb/17.2 kg)  
• High acoustic output (133 dB SPL peak)  
• Wide 140° horizontal coverage  
• High power, 8" neodymium LF/MF drivers provide low-frequency extension  
to 62 Hz without subwoofers  
• 3" diaphragm compression driver on QSC’s patented 140º multiple diffraction  
aperture waveguide (Patent No. 7,177,437)  
• Simple, easy-to-use rigging system supports arrays of up to 12 units with  
10:1 design factor  
• Flexible ground stack capability  
• Fully supported in EASE and EASE Focus acoustic software  
Features of the WL212-sw  
• Dual 12" subwoofer in a 4th order bandpass enclosure  
• 135 dB SPL peak output capability  
• Frequency range to 32 Hz (-10 dB down point)  
• May be suspended at the top of a WL3082 array or behind the array  
• Integral suspension hardware also supports WL3082 in ground stack applications  
Designed for the most demanding concert and installation audio  
professionals, the WideLine-8 system sets new standards for astonishing  
acoustical performance and compact size.  
The WideLine-8 sub sets a new benchmark for extraordinary acoustic  
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.  
output from a miniscule enclosure. At first glance, the enclosure seems  
too small to even house its pair of 4" voice-coil, long-excursion 12"  
woofers, yet it produces 135 dB (peak) SPL and has LF extension to  
32 Hz, with the punch needed for popular music. The extremely low  
profile of the WL212-sw sub (less than 15") also makes it a great choice  
for installed and portable use under a stage or in other tight quarters. The  
4th order bandpass design matches the width of the WideLine-8 elements  
allowing it to be flown inline with or behind a WideLine-8 array.  
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, high-  
performance formula – putting the most horsepower available into the  
smallest chassis possible.  
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 aluminum.  
An elegantly simple 4-point suspension system combined with light weight,  
compact size and excellent handling ergonomics mean that a one person  
crew can easily deploy an array. A single AF3082-L array frame suspends  
up to twelve line array elements or up to twelve line array elements plus  
four subwoofers. The WideLine-8 system is equally at home in the air or  
ground-stacked.  
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.  
Special attention is given to ground-stacked applications. 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 10º, offering better coverage of listeners near the stage. WideLine-8  
subs may be used as a base for stacking up to six WideLine-8 elements.  
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.
