Wavefront W8CS Flown Subwoofer
3.1Introduction
The Martin Audio Wavefront W8CS Flown Subwoofer comprises a special 15" high
excursion driver coupled to an efficient mid-bass horn with a sub-bass port. This
unique combination gives the W8CS the characteristic punch of a horn-loaded system
with the low frequency bass extension of a reflex enclosure.
The W8CS is a compact, light weight system in a trapezoidal cabinet. It has the same
footprint as the popular W8C (Section 1) and has been engineered to extend the
Wavefront Compact W8C's performance to below 45Hz.
W8CS’ may either be used as full bass subwoofers (up to120Hz) or may be flown as
mid-bass sections (60-160Hz) to complement floor standing WSXs.
Like all flown Wavefront products, W8CS’ 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 the 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.
