The Martin Audio WLX is a high performance subwoofer featuring our trademark horn loading
expertise. A derivative of the WSX, the WLX is smaller, lighter, can be
flown or ground stacked with W8 line array systems and possesses high output capability with low
frequency extension.
A single ultra-long excursion 18" (460mm)/ 4" (100mm) coil driver
is front loaded by a hyperbolic horn with low flare rate. The rear of
the driver is reflex loaded to extend the LF output to below the natural
cut-off point of the horn. This Hybrid™ technique marries the very
high efficiency of horn loading with the extended low frequency response
of a reflex enclosure.
