| The Martin
Audio Wavefront W8L is a line array system which combines innovative horn
loading techniques with line array technology to produce a very powerful
line array with maximum dynamic impact. It is a 3-way, full-range system
and may be used without subwoofers for many applications. Where very low
frequency extension is required, a W8L array will integrate seamlessly
with the Martin Audio WSX folded-horn subwoofer in a fully horn-loaded
4-way configuration.
