Martin Audio introduces a new Wavefront Precision solution for large-scale installations and tours

Wavefront Precision Longbow has been designed as a complete system. Incorporates multichannel amplifiers of the iKon series, the Display automated optimization software and the Vu-Net control platform.

Martin Audio has incorporated a new model to its Wavefront Precision line. This is the Wavefront Precision Longbow (WPL) that offers high performance, optimisation, flexibility and control for large-scale installation and touring applications.

Designed as a complete system with iKon Series multichannel amplifiers, the Display automated optimization software and the Vu-Net control platform, WPL provides financial accessibility to the highest levels of touring and audio facilities, from concerts in stadiums and outdoor festivals to stages and installations in closed temples.

With the launch of the Wavefront Precision series (WPM and WPC) in 2017, the concept of scalable resolution that refers to the use of optimizing the technology behind Martin Audio's MLA series systems was presented in a new multicellular linear array format with a scalable and externally amplified approach..

WPL is a full-scale multicellular linear array capable of obtaining a very high performance due to its moderate size and weight.. It is a three-way, bi-amplified system that achieves very high performance by using Martin Audio's patented seal technology., which increases the acoustic output both in the low frequencies and in the middle and high frequencies at the same time.

Incorporates two drivers of 12″ (300 Mm) with Hybrid horn/reflex, two 6.5 cone drivers″ (165 Mm) covering the vocal frequency range of 300 Hz to 4 kHz and 3 1 HF drivers″ (25 Mm) output operating from 4kHz.

Each section features innovative horn loading techniques and enhancements that elevate your acoustic performance, both in terms of output and in the smooth 90° horizontal coverage patterns of the medium and high frequency speakers.

Sonically, WPL's exemplary horizontal scattering pattern results in a very consistent off-axis frequency response, with minimal variation of the response on the axis.

The maximum exit point of the LF sections, Mid and HF are 139dB, 140dB and 145dB per envelope at one meter of crest and 6d B respectively, ensuring that a WPL arrangement will meet the most demanding requirements for scope and clarity in larger venues and outdoor events.

The WPL will be exhibited in Ise 2019, followed by demos at Martin Audio's Open Days in the UK in March.
