The
W8LS is a dedicated high performance sub-bass system designed to augment
the low frequency output of the W8L in large scale applications where
the sub-bass enclosures must be flown. The physical dimensions of the
W8LS are identical to the W8L and it is equipped with the same proprietary
rigging system, allowing flown arrays to be constructed rapidly and safely.
It features twin, 1000 watt 18" (460mm) drive units with magnet structure
and suspensions engineered for maximum linear excursion. The drivers are
reflex loaded by ports at either end of the enclosure and substantial
internal bracing is employed to minimise energy absorption by the cabinet
walls at the very high pressures generated within the enclosure itself.
