3. WASP series
3.1. Introduction
WASPline arrayis aversatile arrayforanyinstallation
size, as small as a restaurant or a bar, and as big as
a concert hall or a stadium.
A dual 8-inch system with a 1.5-inch throat HF
driver, WASP has received the most advanced
components to assist with the task of creating the
ultimate compact line-array solution. Thoroughly
designed cabinets, the most advanced proprietary
mounting system, and a wide selection of mounting
and connectivity accessories were called in to
provide fast mounting\dismounting times, as well
as ease of transportation and storage.
A complete amplification solution is available for
WASP as well. Ready-to-go touring racks are
fitted with signal and power distribution and are
based on state-of-the-art touring amplifiers from
Powersoft®. WASP system usability is further
extended with available presets as well as GLL files
for fast system performance prediction.
WASP modules and backed with WASP-S12,
WASP-S15 and WASP-S18 flown or stacked
subwoofers, and are additionally compatible with
several models from the Subwoofer series.

5.1. Rigging
WASP line array comes with built-in mounting
hardware for ground stack and flying cluster
installation options.
Rigging must be performed only by trained
personnel following the established safety rules.
MAXIMUM WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS MUST BE
FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES!
MAKE SURE THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE IS
CAPABLE OF HOLDING THE APPLIED WEIGHT
WHILE SUSPENDING THE SYSTEM!
