Martin Audio - WPL Longbow Black
Martin Audio's WPL is a large-format 3-way bi-amplified line array designed for large-scale applications. Its all-padded architecture maximises acoustic performance across the entire spectrum, allowing high pressure levels and a constant 90° horizontal coverage. Combined with iKON amplifiers and DISPLAY software, it guarantees precise system optimisation, remarkable sonic coherence and rapid implementation for both touring and installation.
Presentation
The integration of two 12-inch drivers in Hybrid® configuration for the bass, combined with a pavilion midrange section covering the vocal range, guarantees precise and intelligible reproduction. The three compression drivers dedicated to high frequencies ensure effective extension up to 18 kHz, with a constant horizontal dispersion of 90°, favouring even coverage, even off-axis.
The WPL is part of a complete ecosystem including iKON amplifiers and DISPLAY software. This combination enables arrays to be optimised quickly and reliably, limiting the need for empirical adjustments and ensuring consistency between different systems. Control via VU-NET facilitates real-time management and supervision.
Its mechanical design incorporates a 3-point rigging system for hanging up to 24 elements, while remaining relatively compact in relation to its performance. Its robust, IP54-certified construction makes it suitable for demanding environments. The WPL is a coherent solution for large-scale events requiring power, precision and control.
