W8LMD | Three-way mini, vertically arrayable enclosure

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.

Features

Stand alone vertically arrayable enclosure
Line array downfill element
Consistent 120º (-6dB) horizontal mid and HF pattern control
20º (-6dB) vertical dispersion
Tripod mountable singularly or in pairs
Amplitude shading switch
Passive or Bi-Amp format
Compatible with WMX, WLX, WSXa, WS2A & WS218 subwoofers

Applications

Short to medium throw arrays of 1 to 4 cabinets
Vertically arrayed downfill for W8LM systems
Theatre sound reinforcement
Corporate events
Fixed installations

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.
