W8L Longbow, W8LC and W8LM systems combine patentable driver loading
techniq ues - researched and proven by Martin Audio over many years - with no-
compromise vertically-coupled waveguides and true constant directivity horns to
achieve a level of efficiency and coverage consistency not usually found in this popular
format. W8L Serie s horns develop low curvature vertical wavefronts for smooth, comb-
free coupling at practical vertical splay angles. A feature not possible with spaced,
point-source drivers.
W8L Longbow Midrange section
Wavefront W8L Series line arrays feature integral, quick deployment flyware systems
which allow progressive curvature columns of up to 16 cabinets to be assembled. By
hinging at the front rather than the rear, the rigging system minimises gaps between the
acoustic elements which would otherwise interfere with the line array effect.
º
Viewed from the side, W8L Series enclosures are trapezoidal in shape with 3.75
wall
angles to allow arrays of varying curvature to be constructed. A series of inter-cabinet
º
º
splay angles from 0º to 7.5
are selected by links at the rear of the enclosure. The 7.5
maximum splay angle allows tight curvature at the bottom of the array. 20º W8L Series
down-fill systems are also available (click here for more information).
