The Martin Audio WLX Hybrid™ is the
latest in a long line of high-performance sub-woofers, combining the very
high efficiency of horn loading with the bass extension of a reflex enclosure.
The WLX is smaller, lighter and can be flown or ground-stacked, possessing
high output capability with extended low frequency response.
A single ultra-long excursion 18" (460mm) driver with a 4" (100mm)
voice coil is front-loaded by a hyperbolic horn. The rear of the driver
is reflex-loaded to extend the LF output below the natural cut-off point
of the horn.
When flown, one WLX provides low frequency augmentation for one W8L and
up to two W8LC.
The captive, quick deployment rigging system allows inter-cabinet angles
of 0-7.5º to be set as a flown system, closely matching the curvature
of the adjacent full range Line Array such as the W8L or W8LC systems.
The WLX couples with existing W8LC flying frames. The rectangular shape
makes ground stacking straightforward while interlocking skids are fitted
to firmly anchor cabs during use.
Due to its 8-ohm impedance, one Martin Audio MA4.2s will drive four WLX
cabinets.
