Overview:

The Martin Audio W8LC is a compact line array enclosuredesigned to bring superb next-generation line array performance to concert,theatre and commercial events. It meets the need for a high power, high bassimpact system that is versatile and scalable for a very wide range ofapplications in the live sound, corporate and fixed installation fields.

• W8LCgrids allow systems to be flown or ground stacked as required.
• Though compact in size, the W8LC is a full-bandwidth systemand may be used without subwoofers in many applications.
• Where additional lowfrequency extension is required, W8LCs may be complemented by the W8LS LineArray subwoofers, WLX horn and reflex loaded subwoofers or WSXa horn loadedsubwoofers.

Features

• Compact, high performance three-way line array enclosure
• High power - maximum SPL 129dB continuous, 135dB peak(single unit)
• Superior bass impact - all horn design
• Wide bandwidth - 60Hz-18KHz ± 3dB (single unit)
• True 90° (-6dB) horizontal mid and HF pattern control
• Very smooth off-axis response - useable out to 120° (-10dB)
• Compatible with the full-sized W8L Line Array
• Fast, integral rigging system with variable splay anglesfrom 0° to 7.5°
• Common grid may be used for flying or ground stacking
• ViewPoint™ array optimisation software
• Loudspeaker management preset files for a wide variety ofconfigurations

Applications

• Medium/large scale touring, theatre, stadia, club
• Compatible with W8L, W8LS and WSXa

• The mid horn of the W8LC utilizes 2 x 6.5"(165mm)/1.5" (38mm) coil, maximum efficiency drivers to produce 106dB at 1mfor a 1W input - a significant efficiency gain over direct radiator systems.
• The W8LC’s HF section comprises three 1" horn elementsto produce a low-curvature vertical wavefront with an efficiency of 109dB at 1mfor a 1W input. This optimal HF curvature enables W8LC enclosures within thearray tobe splayed up to 7.5° without introducing gaps in the HF verticalcoverage.
