Thesystem provides a short-throwhorizontal dispersion of 120°,narrowing to 100° as the throwincreases. The vertical differentialdirectivity (VDQ) creates progressivelymore HF output as throwdistance increases. The resultingdispersion pattern is suited tocovering audiences located on flator gradually sloping surfaces. Forpassive or bi-amp operation, andcombining a Hybrid quad 8in LFand MF configuration with quad1in HF—all horn-loaded—thesystem achieves a maximum SPLof 131dB (continuous) and 137dB(peak). The W8VDQ is compatiblewith WMX, WS18X and WS218Xsubwoofers.70 Sound & CommunicationsFor more information about these companies, go to www.bluebookonline.net www.soundandcommunications.com
