The W8LMD is a mini, wide-dispersion vertically arrayable enclosure - designed to be used individually and in small quantities for short to medium throw (<30m) applications or as a downfill element for the W8LM. With its 20° vertical dispersion, fewer cabinets cover the same area as a conventional line array element, yet still benefit from the smooth, predictable coverage of a vertically-coupled system, says Martin.
The WMX is a compact, flown/groundstack sub-woofer featuring the company's Hybrid loading. Primarily intended for use with the W8LM, it shares the same cabinet width and is directly compatible with the W8LM and its flying hardware.
The WMX is designed to be powered by the Martin Audio MA4.2s power amplifier. The 8-ohm nominal impedance allows two cabinets to be driven from one amplifier channel. When flown, one WMX provides low frequency augmentation for between two and four W8LM's or W8LMD's.
An addition to the Martin Audio Architectural portfolio will be a completely new series of ceiling speakers. The range consists of the C4.8T 25W 4in (100mm), C6.8T 75W 6.5in (165mm), C8.1T 150W 8in (200mm), C10.1 200W 10in (250mm) and the CS10 200W 10in (250mm) ceiling sub-woofer.
The C4.8T, C6.8T and C8.1T models feature a 2-way design using soft dome tweeters to achieve "the widest dispersion and excellent off-axis performance". The wide dispersion of the C4.8T and C6.8T make them particularly suitable for low ceiling areas.
