Wavefront Precision

Signature Sound. Control. Consistency. Coverage.

Since the mid-2000s, Martin Audio has been an innovator in optimised line array speaker technology, where a combination of mechanical angle optimisation and advanced DSP filtering enables a Martin Audio line array to meet SPL and frequency response target goals set by the user and delivered with supreme fidelity.

Wavefront Precision offers a scalable approach to the finite level of control, consistency and coverage required for any given event or installation. At the highest resolution, this award winning and patent protected series will provide unprecedented control for hard cut off areas like reflective back walls and suppression of unwanted noise pollution.

Stronger. Smarter. Faster. Higher Precision.

From Q2 2026, Wavefront Precision systems are designed to withstand tougher environmental conditions, feature LED circuit visibility, and enjoy blazing-fast DISPLAY 3 optimisation software with enhanced LF control.

With four array formats — WPM, WPS, WPC and WPL — Wavefront Precision covers everything from intimate corporate environments to arena-scale touring. It is the best-selling line array family in Martin Audio’s history, trusted on global festivals, tours, houses of worship, theatres, and auditoria.

If fidelity, precision and ROI matters, this is the moment to choose Wavefront Precision

Wavefront Precision: Optimised Line Arrays

Scalable Resolution: Precision on Your Terms

Wavefront Precision adopts a unique principle of control, coverage and consistency you can scale on your terms.

Using external iKON multi-channel amplifiers, each array can be deployed at different resolution levels. More amplifier channels equal more individually driven enclosures — and that unlocks finer optimisation, tighter SPL consistency, and more accurate room control through DISPLAY.

Even at lower resolution the acoustic design delivers exceptional performance. But scalable resolution means you can:

Match system design to budget targets without compromising audio quality.
Upgrade resolution over time, simply by adding amplifiers.
Dynamic deployment within a venue or site, with the main PA at higher resolution and delays or outfills at lower resolution.

It’s performance made flexible, predictable, and financially accessible.

DISPLAY3 Optimisation: Faster with Higher Precision

From Q2 2026, Wavefront Precision systems integrate seamlessly with DISPLAY 3, Martin Audio’s new-generation 3D optimisation software — 27,000× faster than DISPLAY 2 and accurate to within ±1 dB of measured performance.

Through a combination of mechanical angle optimisation and advanced DSP filtering, DISPLAY 3 software:

Optimises the sound to meet SPL and frequency response target goals set by the user, by determining the necessary configuration and output of the array to produce that result.
Assesses and minimises influence of non-audience areas within a venue or space, while simultaneously maximising sound coverage and consistency for the audience area, increasing clarity and intelligibility.
Delivers improved control of low frequency that is meaningful in itself, and also open doors to increased flexibility of line length.
Features Hard Avoid® to intelligently prevent audio reflections of problem surfaces like ceilings or balcony edges or significantly reduces sound in a given area like below or behind an array, or beyond an audience zone for mitigating noise pollution, by up to 30dB.

Getting fast accurate results for a complete system with the freedom to quickly refine ensures optimal sound system deployment for every venue.

Array DSP parameters calculated by DISPLAY are easily uploaded to the iKON amplifiers via Ethernet, using Martin Audio’s VU-NET™ real-time control and monitoring software.

Amplification, DSP and Smarter Networking

Wavefront Precision line arrays are designed as complete systems with dedicated, high-performance iKON multi-channel Class D amplifiers, capable of very high power outputs and feature high-speed Ethernet communication for system control and monitoring via VU-NET, plus Dante™ digital audio networking.

With the option to transmit digital audio over a single CAT5 cable, quality is maintained over long cable runs and integration with other devices in the sound system is straightforward.

Furthermore, from Q2 2026, every Wavefront Precision enclosure is now smarter as they feature an LED indicator that can be illuminated via VU-NET software to identify its circuit location.

iKON amps provide powerful DSP processing of up to 1000 FIR filter taps @ 48kHz on each output channel. This high number of taps is essential to implement DISPLAY’S wide bandwidth optimisation capabilities.

The complete system approach not only guarantees that Wavefront Precision arrays perform repeatedly and effortlessly to their design maximum, but also that they are compatible worldwide.
