Wavefront W8L Series Line Arrays
5.1 Introduction
Martin Audio W8L Series line arrays are next generation line array systems which
combine innovative loudspeaker design techniques with line array technology to
produce a family of very powerful line arrays with extended frequency response,
smooth coverage and maximum dynamic impact.
The series includes:
The W8L 3-way full-range line array
The W8LC 3-way compact line array
The W8LM 3-way mini line array
The W8L and W8LC systems are fully horn-loaded tri-amplified systems. All
sections are 8 ohms for easy paralleling in pairs.
The W8LM system combines direct radiating and horn-loaded cone drivers for low
and mid frequency coverage with a horn-loaded high frequency section. The system
may be bi-amplified (low/mid & high) or driven using a single amplifier channel via
its internal 3-way passive crossover. W8LMs are 12 ohms for easy paralleling in
threes or fours.
Where low frequency extension is required, W8L Series line arrays will integrate
