Review Summary
The Martin Audio WTUB Compact Theatre Under-Balcony Enclosure has been specifically designed for under-balcony use in theatres and infill in venues requiring extremely wide horizontal coverage. The WTUB loudspeaker provides sound reinforcement for speech and music with exceptionally consistent tonal balance over the whole of its coverage angle. It also shares the same tonal characteristics as the larger members of the WT range, the WT2 and 3. The unusual driver complement and geometry is responsible for the uniform coverage of the enclosure. A triple soft dome, high frequency line array coupled with a proprietary diffusion phase plug gives very wide horizontal and tight vertical dispersion. Its narrow width allows minimal separation between the two 6.5" (165.1mm) cone drivers. This factor and the drivers' 60 deg. splay are responsible for the seamless horizontal coverage of the WTUB. The two 6.5" (165.1mm) drivers feature 1.5" (38.1mm) voice coils and an innovative heat exchange system to reduce power compression. A combination of ferrofluid and a rear mounted heat sink cools the high frequency line array's neodymium magnet assembly, with extreme high frequency overload being dealt with by an auto- resetting over-current device.
Featuring fully passive operation and requiring no controller, the WTUB is extremely straightforward to deploy. The enclosure input configuration is externally switchable between pins 1 and 2 on the fitted Neutrik NL4MP connectors. This allows daisy-chaining of cabinets via a 4 core cable, even when they are fed with different input signals. The rugged, multi-laminate birch ply enclosure features M8 inserts for the dedicated mounting bracket and an additional M8 'safety chain' point. The multi-angled cabinet rear allows close proximity ceiling mounting with a downward tilt of up to 45 deg. . A pole mount socket gives the additional option of tripod stand mounting.
