W8LD Three-way downfill Line Array Element |
TOURING & THEATRE |
The Martin Audio Wavefront W8LD is a line array downfill enclosure which connects directly to the bottom of a W8L array and covers from the front row out to up to 20m when using two W8LD cabinets. The exceptionally wide 120 horizontal dispersion increases coverage to front row central and off-stage areas, with full pattern control maintained right up to 15kHz. The all-horn design follows the same format as the W8L and continues the extension of the line array at low, mid and high frequencies.
FEATURES
- High performance three-way line array downfill enclosure for use with W8L
- High power - maximum SPL 136dB continuous, 142dB peak (single unit)
- Superior bass impact – all horn design
- Wide bandwidth – 55Hz-18kHz 3dB (single unit)
- True 120 (-6dB) horizontal mid and HF pattern control
- 20 vertical dispersion
- Smooth transition from W8LD to W8L array
- Fast, integral rigging system, connects directly to W8L
- Viewpoint array optimisation software
APPLICATIONS
- Used at the bottom of W8L arrays in 1s or 2s to cover first 20m (two cabinets)
- Low profile sidefill, on top of W8LS
- Premium club installations
