Beyma WL3 Line Array Driver with Wave Guide

This combination of high power neodymium compression driver with wave guide gives a straightforward solution to build a Line Array System, solving the difficult problem of achieving an optimum coupling between adjacent high frequency transducers. Instead of using expensive and complicated wave-shaping devices, a simple but effective wave guide transforms the circular aperture of the compression driver into a rectangular surface, without excessive angle aperture to provide low curvature to the acoustic wavefront, arriving to fulfill the curvature requirement for optimal acoustic coupling between adjacent sources until 18 kHz. This is achieved with the minimum possible length for low distortion, but without being excessively short, which would cause strong high frequency interferences. This waveguide can be combined with loudspeakers of different diameters but it specially matches with 6" and 5" loudspeakers.
