Martin Audio Wavefront is a premium choice modular PA system. Suitable for a wide range of applications including corporate, live music and dance music at small medium and large scale events.
The Wavefront family of loudspeakers includes the W2, W3, W8C and W8LC full range systems, supplemented with the WS18X, WS218X, W8CS and WSX sub-bass systems.
The Martin Audio Wavefront W2 features a 12″ direct radiating low frequency driver and a 1″ high frequency horn. The W2 are an ideal solution for presentations and high quality public address for small intimate audiences.
The W2 system is designed as a stand-alone system. W2 can also be utilised as an in-fill system for the larger Wavefront W8 system. For applications where extra headroom and sub-bass extension is required the W2 can also be deployed with the WS18X.
Wavefront W3 is the bigger brother and can handle more bass with the addition of a 15″ low-frequency driver. Mid-range reproduction is further enhanced with the addition of a horn-loaded 6.5″ high-mid driver loaded by toroidal phase plug.
The W3 system is designed as a one-box full-range solution for many applications. W3 can also be utilised as an in-fill system for the larger Wavefront W8 system. For applications requiring extra headroom and sub-bass extension, the W3 can be deployed with the WS18X or WS218X.
Wavefront W8C has a similar 6.5″ high-mid driver and 1″ high frequency horn as the smaller W3. W8C is a building block for larger systems. Featuring a narrow horizontal dispersion and the addition of a horn-loaded 12″ low-mid driver.
The W8C has been designed to reproduce frequencies above 120Hz. Wavefront W8C should be deployed with W8CS and WSX subwoofers, producing a four or five way, fully horn-loaded system.
Wavefront W8LC is a line array element for medium and large scale applications that require precise audience coverage. The W8LC system is not available for dry hire.
Due to the complex design of these systems we do not provide a system package calculator for the W8LC. If you are interested in hiring a Wavefront W8LC line array system, give us a call to discuss your requirements.
The Martin Audio Wavefront WS18X is a single 18″ reflex-loaded sub-bass system. WS18X can provide additional headroom and sub-extension down to 35Hz for any of the Wavefront full range systems. A top hat fitting allows W2 and W3 mid-top cabinets to be mounted on the WS18X using an adjustable pole.
WS18X features a 1kW 18″ drive unit with magnet structure and suspension engineered for maximum linear excursion. The birch ply cabinet is fitted with four pocket handles and four 4″ castors for easy deployment. It features large area porting to reduce air noise.
WS18X is designed to be driven with high output power amplifiers with precise peak and RMS limiting. The Linea Research 44M20 four channel amplifier, can power up to four WS18X per channel. A total of 16 units can be driven from a single 2 channel amplifier.
The Martin Audio Wavefront WS218X is a dual 18″ reflex-loaded sub-bass system. WS218X can provide additional headroom and sub-extension down to 35Hz for any of the Wavefront full range systems.
WS218X features dual 1kW 18″ drive units with magnet structure and suspension engineered for maximum linear excursion. The birch ply cabinet is fitted with six pocket handles and four 4″ castors for easy deployment. It features large area porting to reduce air noise.
WS218X is designed to be driven with high output power amplifiers with precise peak and RMS limiting. The Linea Research 44M20 four channel amplifier, can power two WS218X per channel. A total of eight units can be driven from a single 2 channel amplifier.
The Martin Audio Wavefront W8CS is the companion sub to the W8C mid-high system. Sharing the same footprint and external dimensions, they can be flown together as a W8 point-source cluster. W8CS provides the W8C mid-high system with additional headroom and sub-bass extension down to 45Hz.
The W8CS can be used as full bass subwoofers meeting the W8C at 120Hz. Alternatively W8CS may be deployed as mid-bass sections covering 60Hz to 160Hz to compliment ground-stacked WSX, extending performance down to 35Hz.
W8CS is designed to be driven with high output power amplifiers with precise peak and RMS limiting. The Linea Research 44M20 four channel amplifier, can power up to four W8CS per channel. A total of sixteen units can be driven from a single 2 channel amplifier.
Wavefront WSXa is a 7ft folded-horn driven by a 1000W 18″ driver. This cabinet is designed for ground-stacks. WSX reproduces high-impact bass throughout the operating bandwidth.
Deployed in multiples of four, WSX increase headroom for the W8 system and extend sub extension down to 35Hz. The WSX sub bass cabinet is best for the full sub-bass extension.
WSX is designed to be driven with high output power amplifiers with precise peak and RMS limiting. The Linea Research 44M20 four channel amplifier, can power up to four WSX per channel. A total of sixteen units can be driven from a single 2 channel amplifier.
