MARTIN AUDIO WPL-PU WPL - Tropicalized WPL line array speaker

The Wavefront Precision range becomes a bridge between conventional source line technology and full MLA optimization.

The use of external multichannel processed amplifiers allows to choose the degree of optimization that can be provided to the system:

Without optimization (conventional source line) up to a near MLA optimization, all in a modular way and therefore progressive technically and budgetarily.

To do this, there is a new multichannel amplification platform processed by channel with linear phase filters: the Ikon series available in 4 and 8 channels. Controlled in network by the Vu-Net application, the amps, depending on their number, besides the classic band filtering parameters and protection limitations, will also receive the optimization preset previously elaborated by the Display application.

As a reminder, the Display software allows in turn to precalculate the speaker line angles, then to calculate a custom processing preset based on the desired coverage geometry and the selected optimization criteria:

SPL template, tonal template, avoidance zone(s), rear wave reduction.

These advanced processing options will be more or less attainable depending on the processing resolution available.

Basically, if the minimum number of amps is used, a more restricted optimization possibility will be obtained, comparable to that of a classic source line, with still a slightly more advanced processing zoning.

This system is the basic inveiglement, competitive entry point to the system.

Subsequently, adding processed amplifier channels to this same speaker system will increase the granularity of processing to approach the optimization that the MLA can provide.

The technical and budgetary modularity of the system is therefore total and it is conceivable for a rental service provider to offer his client different degrees of performance for different implementations and therefore different realization budgets.

The WPL takes up the acoustic design of the large MLA system, with a fully horned set. A 2 x 12 load hybrid exponential horn/bass reflex bass section. A 2 x 6.5 inch midrange with patented Hi-Blade waveguide that covers the entire vocal range from 300Hz to 4kHz. The treble section is composed of 3 x 1 inch motors on constant path waveguides. 90° horizontal opening. The WPL is a 3-way bi-amp system by the IKon platform which provides modular optimization depending on the number of amps one has.
