The Martin Audio W8LMD is a mini, wide-dispersion vertically
arrayable enclosure. It can be used individually and in small
quantities for short to medium throw applications (up to 30
metres) as well as a downfill element for the W8LM. Its 20° vertical
dispersion requires fewer cabinets to cover the same area as a
conventional line array element, yet it still benefits from the
smooth, predictable coverage of a vertically coupled system.
