At this year's Prolight + Sound Show in Frankfurt, Martin Audio unveiled an ambitious line up of products including the Wavefront Precision Series, a new generation of multipurpose line arrays designed to bring Martin Audio's signature sound, coverage consistency and control to a broader range of touring applications, installations and budgets.
Comprising the WPC (2 x 10” LF) and WPM (2 x 6.5” LF), Wavefront Precision line arrays are designed as complete systems with the newly announced external iKON multi-channel amplifiers optimised by Martin Audio's automated Display software.
Adopting the principle of scalable resolution, with external, dedicated multi-channel amplifiers, Wavefront Precision line arrays are designed to be uniquely flexible, upgradeable and financially accessible.
Dom Harter, Managing Director, explains, “Martin Audio's MLA Series offers customers both the hard avoid feature (the ability to limit coverage in a zone by as much as 30dB) and the patented ability to optimise against multiple target functions — such as frequency response, SPL gradient and leakage, which no other competitor product can. What we wanted to do with Wavefront Precision was to introduce a solution whereby customers could have a flexible and scalable approach to resolution and control of coverage. Simply put the more boxes with dedicated amplifier channels, the higher the resolution and scale of coverage control achievable. This means even at the lowest level of resolution the results are still fundamentally better than traditional line array, at no extra cost, and at the top end of resolution users can enjoy many of the benefits that MLA systems provide.”
To accompany the new Wavefront Precision, two new subwoofers were unveiled the SX118 and SX218, a single 18” and double 18” respectively.
