Wharfedale Pro WLA-1 System: The Ideal Choice for Versatile, Budget-Friendly Sound

Wharfedale Pro WLA-1 System: The Ideal Choice for Versatile, Budget-Friendly Sound

Customer Review by Jason Howley of Distinct Audio & Production

As event professionals, we often find ourselves working with tight client budgets. But we also need reliable equipment that can deliver great sound, adaptability, and durability—especially when conditions aren’t always ideal. That’s why we turned to the Wharfedale Pro WLA1 system, and it has quickly proven itself to be a cost-effective, flexible solution that checks all the boxes.

One of the key reasons we chose the WLA-1 system was its ability to deliver excellent sound quality without breaking the bank. Whether we’re using it for a small Emergency Services Expo, out in a field with just the tops on stands for announcements and BGM, or providing sound for a more formal event like a Jazz & Shiraz afternoon for 500 people, the system performs brilliantly. The flexibility of this system means we can scale up or down depending on the size and type of event.

We’ve even used the WLA-1 for larger events, such as the Pine Rivers Community Carols with an audience of 7,500, and it handled the demands of a big crowd effortlessly. The system's ability to maintain clear, powerful sound across different crowd sizes and environments has been impressive.

Additionally, with outdoor events often subject to unpredictable weather, the WLA-1’s durability in the rain has been a game-changer for us compared to the other systems we carry. We can trust that it’ll keep performing even when the elements aren’t cooperating—a crucial feature for outdoor events where the show has to go on, rain or shine.

Wharfedale Pro has been releasing some outstanding products recently, and the WLA-1 is a standout in their lineup. It's clear they’re committed to producing reliable, high-quality equipment that meets the needs of diverse events, and we’ll continue to grow our inventory with more Wharfedale Pro gear as our needs expand.
