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, <strong>and</strong>combining a Hybrid quad 8in LF<strong>and</strong> MF configuration with quad1in HF—all horn-loaded—thesystem achieves a maximum SPLof 131dB (continuous) <strong>and</strong> 137dB(peak). The W8VDQ is compatiblewith WMX, WS18X <strong>and</strong> WS218Xsubwoofers.70 <strong>Sound</strong> & <strong>Communications</strong>For more information about these companies, go to www.bluebookonline.net www.sound<strong>and</strong>communications.com
