The Martin Audio Wavefront W8LD is a line array downfill
enclosure which connects directly to the bottom of a W8L array
and covers from the front row out to up to 20m when using two
W8LD cabinets. The exceptionally wide 120° horizontal
dispersion increases coverage to front row central and off-stage
areas, with full pattern control maintained right up to 15kHz. The
all-horn design follows the same format as the W8L and
continues the extension of the line array at low, mid and high
frequencies.
