The Martin Audio WMX is a compact, high performance flown or ground stacked subwoofer featuring our trademark Hybrid™ loading. Primarily intended for use with the W8LM/W8LMD, it shares the same cabinet width and is directly compatible with the W8LM and its flying hardware.

A single long-excursion 18" (460mm)/ 4" (100mm) coil driver is front loaded by a hyperbolic horn with an ultra-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.

WMX specifications

The Martin Audio WMX is a sophisticated and versatile loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality in a range of applications, from live music events to fixed installations. Renowned for its mid-sized design and powerful performance, the WMX makes an ideal addition to both mobile and installed audio systems.

One of the standout features of the WMX is its dual 15-inch low-frequency drivers, which provide deep, punchy bass and a broad frequency response. These drivers work in tandem with a high-frequency compression driver mounted on a rotatable horn, ensuring that sound is evenly dispersed across the audience area. This design allows the WMX to deliver impressive sound pressure levels while maintaining clarity and dynamic range, making it suitable for a variety of musical genres and performance environments.

The WMX incorporates advanced technologies, including Martin Audio's proprietary Waveguide technology, which is engineered to optimize the coverage pattern of the loudspeaker. This innovation ensures that both audience members seated near the front and those at the back of the venue experience consistent audio quality. Additionally, the rotatable horn design allows for flexibility in deployment, making it easy to adapt to different room shapes and sizes.

Another critical characteristic of the WMX is its robust construction, featuring a high-quality birch plywood enclosure that is both lightweight and durable. This not only enhances the speaker's portability but also contributes to its acoustic performance by minimizing unwanted resonance. The enclosure is finished with a hard-wearing coating, offering additional protection against environmental factors, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

The WMX also supports a range of mounting options, which include a top hat for pole mounting and rigging points for suspending the loudspeaker in various configurations. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for festivals, concerts, corporate events, and club installations.

In conclusion, the Martin Audio WMX stands out as a powerful and adaptable loudspeaker, seamlessly combining innovative technology and quality craftsmanship. Its ability to deliver high-quality sound across multiple environments, coupled with its durable design and flexible deployment options, makes it a favorite among audio professionals and enthusiasts alike. Whether used in portable systems or permanent installations, the WMX delivers exceptional performance that meets the demands of today's sound reinforcement requirements.
