The Martin Audio
W8LM is a mini line array enclosure designed to bring line array performance
benefits to a variety of small and medium scale applications. It meets
the need for a versatile, scalable system that can be flown or ground
stacked for corporate events, theatres and indoor venues. It is also suitable
as a delay system for large scale outdoor sound reinforcement.
Following the constant directivity horn design philosophy of the W8L and
the W8LC, the W8LM is a three-way system that combines line array principles
with innovative horn loading techniques to produce a next generation,
small line array with maximum dynamic impact.
