The Martin Audio W8LM is a mini line array enclosure designed to bring line array performance benefits to a variety of small and medium scale applications. It meets the need for a versatile, scalable system that can be flown or ground stacked for corporate events, theatres and indoor venues. It is also suitable as a delay system for large scale outdoor sound reinforcement.

Features

  • Mini three-way line array element
  • Hybrid® dual 8" (200mm) LF+MF configuration (-3dB@60Hz)
  • LF+MF - 100dB @1W, 1m (single cabinet)
  • Twin 1" (25mm) HF horn - 106dB @1W, 1m (single cabinet)
  • Consistent 100º (-6dB) horizontal mid and HF pattern control
  • Passive or biamp operation
  • 12 ohm system impedance, up to 4 cabinets on one amplifier channel
  • Fast, integral rigging system with variable splay angles
  • ViewPoint™ array optimisation software
  • Factory controller presets for a wide variety of configurations
  • Compatible with W8L Longbow and W8LC line-array elements
  • Compatible with WSXa, WLX, WMX and WS218X subwoofers

Applications

  • Theatre Sound Reinforcement
  • Live Sound Reinforcement
  • Corporate Events
  • Fixed Installations
  • Delay systems for large scale outdoor sound reinforcement

Following the constant directivity horn design philosophy of the W8L Longbow and the W8LC, the W8LM is a three-way system that combines line array principles with innovative horn loading techniques to produce a next generation, small line array with maximum dynamic impact.
