Wavefront W8 3-Way System
A1.1Introduction
The Wavefront W8 3-Way System is a high performance 3-way loudspeaker system
in a trapezoidal cabinet. The Wavefront W8 integrates two horn-loaded 12" low-mid
drivers 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 better order
of 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.
