Martin Audio's new W8VDQ compact, three-way system combines line array and differential dispersion technologies to provide an advanced solution to the requirement for even coverage over wide angles and throw distances.

The system has been designed to provide a short-throw horizontal dispersion of 120°, narrowing to 100° as the throw increases. The vertical differential directivity (VDQ) creates progressively more HF output as throw distance increases. The resulting dispersion pattern is ideally suited to covering audiences located on flat, or gradually sloping surfaces.

Designed for passive or bi-amp operation, and combining a Hybrid^TM quad 8in LF and MF configuration with quad 1in HF - the system achieves a maximum SPL of 131dB (continuous), 137dB (peak).

Aimed at a wide range of applications, from live and theatre sound to fixed installations, the W8VDQ is compatible with WMX, WS18X and WS218X subwoofers.
