Martin audio W8LM

Mini, high performance three-way line array enclosure

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.
