Introduction

The WideLine-10 loudspeaker system has been designed to provide a compact system that has unique dispersion characteristics, high-power handling 
and extended low-frequency response. Its primary uses include ballrooms, theatres, night clubs, houses of worship, and small to medium size events 
for the corporate and industrial markets. 

WL2102 enclosures are constructed of lightweight cored-composite and weigh 70 lb (31.8 kg). WL2102-w enclosures are constructed of birch plywood 
and weigh 83 lb (37.7 kg). The hardware allows for simple vertical splay angle adjustment of 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10° between enclosures. 

Two array frames are available. The WL SmALL GRID is for suspended applications or stacking on top of QSC’s 215SB or 215PCm subwoofers. The 
AF2102-LA is for suspended or ground stack applications. 

The WideLine-10 system is suitable for stand alone applications as a full-range, articulate, high-fidelity, sound reinforcement product with the ability to 
reproduce many musical programs without subwoofers or bass modules. It has bass response to 55 Hz (-3 dB) in a small format package. Its 3-way, 
bi-amp or tri-amp design keeps required amplification to a minimum. 

WideLine-10’s exceptionally wide dispersion practically eliminates the need for “side” or “fill” hangs when used as the main array. Its wide disper-
sion also provides enhanced coverage when used as a center cluster or as a downfill or underhang enclosure when used with larger format line 
array systems.

Wide dispersion is accomplished with a 3" (76 mm) diaphragm, 1.4" (36 mm) exit neodymium high-frequency driver mounted on a proprietary, 
patented* multiple aperture diffraction-slot waveguide. This device is the ideal linear source needed for wide angle line array performance. 

Internal, mid-frequency shading can be switched to either 10" (254 mm) transducer. Both transducers handle the low frequencies, but only the non-
shaded transducer handles the mids. This provides smoother pattern control at the mid-high crossover. With selectable shading, the enclosures can be 
used as house right or left by flipping the switch, not the enclosure. 

WideLine-10 users can also use EASE Focus software to aid in the design and implementation of a WideLine-10 array. EASE Focus can calculate the 
number of enclosures required for a given space (venue), determine the optimum splay angle between those enclosures, calculate at what angle to 
set the array frame in a single (variable) pick-point or fixed suspension point application, and predict the acoustical response and sound pressure levels 
throughout the venue in a two-dimensional illustration. The software may be downloaded from the QSC website. Contact QSC for more information. 

Like all QSC products, WideLine-10 design focuses on accurate audio performance, rapid set-up, and reduced labor requirements. Ease of transporta-
tion, assembly, use, and self contained rigging hardware make WideLine-10 the clear choice.
