LA SERIES
The Wharfedale Pro LA -15 series is a 15-inch, high-effi-
ciency, constant-directivity portable speaker system. The
LA-15, two-way, full-range loudspeaker is designed to
meet demanding professional applications requiring both
sonic quality and integrity. The LA-15 is especially suited to
high quality sound reinforcement applications where its
power response and overall performance give exceptional
results even in challenging acoustic spaces. Whether
applied to a reverberant or “dry” club type acoustic envi-
ronment the LA-15 integrates successfully with the room
for superior sound quality with a minimum of equalization
and tuning. The LA series is made up of four cabinets. The
LA-15 is a passive full range cabinet and the LA-15SB is a
passive bass cabinet. The LA-15P is a powered full range
cabinet and the LA-15PB is a powered sub cabinet.
The cabinets of the LA-15, LA-15SB, LA-15P and LA-15PB
are made of High Density Polyethylene structural foam fin-
ished in black. This material gives a lightweight and very
robust enclosure that will withstand the rigours of con-
stant live work.
The Wharfedale Pro LA-15 series has been successfully
applied to professional applications in venues as diverse
and demanding as classical music and theatrical
reinforcement, discotheque, night club, jazz club, places of
worship and anywhere requiring high output with excep-
tional audio quality. The LA-15 series speakers feature a
dynamic high frequency driver protection circuit which
gives progressive-dynamic limiting for both short term
peaks and long term overload conditions.

The sophisticated limiting function works progressively giv-
ing smooth sonic performance even when driven beyond
the design limits of the system.
The shape of The LA-15 allows the cabinets to lock togeth-
er in a trapezoid formation or allows the system to be used
in a horizontal position as a floor monitor.
The LA-15SB features an internal passive x-over. This
enables a signal to be fed into the LA-15SB where it is fil-
tered and then taken to the full range LA-15. The LA-15
and LA-15SB will work with external powered x-overs.
Where significant extension of low frequency output of
your system is required, the addition of the LA-15 SUB (SB)
will provide well balanced, high output enhancement and
power to the overall system. The LA-15PB offers a powered
solution with an electronically controlled band pass filter.
The LA-15P features 2 power amps with an internal active
crossover with dynamic high frequency driver protection
circuit. This enables the cabinet to deliver optimum per-
formance with all the processing controlled internally.
