The Martin Audio W8LCI is a compact line array enclosure
designed to bring superb next-generation line array performance
to concert, theatre and commercial events. It meets the need for a
high power, high bass impact system that is versatile and scalable
for a very wide range of applications in fixed installations.
Though compact in size, the W8LCI is a full-bandwidth system and
may be used without subwoofers in many applications. Where
additional low frequency extension is required, W8LCI may be
complemented by the W8LS Line Array subwoofers, WLX horn
and reflex loaded subwoofers, WSX horn loaded subwoofers, or
WS218X Dual 18” (460mm) direct radiating subwoofers.
