Wavefront W8C 3-Way System
1.1Introduction
The award-winning Wavefront W8C 3-Way System is a very compact, light weight,
high performance 3-way loudspeaker system in a trapezoidal cabinet. The Wavefront
W8C integrates a horn-loaded 12" low-mid driver with a horn-loaded 6.5" high-mid
driver and a horn-loaded 1" very high frequency compression driver. The 6.5" high-
mid cone driver provides a whole order better performance than a large compression
driver and is optimally loaded using a toroidal phase plug.
Wavefront series trapezoidal cabinets are fitted with MAN load-certified flying points
and are designed to comply with the 12:1 safety factor specified by the German
VBG70 standard when used with compatible 12:1 flying systems. One important
advantage of the MAN flying system is that inter-cabinet connections place a minimal
load on the cabinets and, being external, can be load certified and inspected
independently.
