Martin Audio WLX Hybrid Flown Folded Horn and Reflex Loaded Sub-Bass System, 35Hz to 150Hz Frequency, 8 Ohms Nominal Impedance, 8000W Peak Power

The Martin Audio WLX is a high performance subwoofers featuring trademark horn loading expertise. A derivative of the WSX, the WLX is smaller, lighter, can be flown or ground stacked with W8 line array systems and possesses high output capability with low frequency extension. A single ultra-long excursion 18" (457.2mm)/ 4" (101.6mm) coil driver is front loaded by a hyperbolic horn with low flare rate. The rear of the driver is reflex loaded to extend the LF output to below the natural cut-off point of the horn. This Hybrid technique marries the very high efficiency of horn loading with the extended low frequency response of a reflex enclosure. Hybrid low frequency horn loading packs a mid-bass punch that 2 x 18" 457.2mm direct radiators cannot compete with and it convincingly out performs the low frequency extension of similar size horn-only designs.

The proprietary rigging system of the WLX is directly compatible with the W8LC. It has a 7:1 safety factor, for up to 12 cabinets and all cabinet rigging hardware is integral and remains captive in transit. The WLX is constructed from multi-laminated birch ply and fitted with generously sized handles and wheel board for transportation. To resist the ingress of water, the driver cone is treated with a waterproof lacquer. When flown, one WLX provides low frequency augmentation for one W8L Longbow or up to two W8LC's. The WLX is designed to be powered by the Martin Audio MA12K power amplifier; the 8 ohm nominal impedance allows 2 cabinets to be driven from one amplifier channel.
