WTUB specifications

The Martin Audio WTUB, an innovative addition to the renowned WT series, exemplifies cutting-edge technology and design in the realm of professional audio solutions. Purpose-built for the rigorous demands of live sound reinforcement, the WTUB is a versatile subwoofer that delivers powerful, deep bass responses while maintaining clarity and precision across various applications.

At the heart of the WTUB is its impressive bass driver technology. The system features a high-efficiency 18-inch driver that is engineered for maximum output and minimal distortion. This robust driver allows the WTUB to deliver a frequency response that extends deep into the sub-bass range, providing the impactful low-end that professional sound engineers and artists demand. The enclosure is designed to optimize the driver’s performance, ensuring that the sound is not only loud but also well-defined and articulate.

One of the standout features of the WTUB is its advanced cabinet design. Constructed from high-quality plywood, the enclosure is both sturdy and lightweight, allowing for easy transport and setup. The compact design does not compromise on performance, making the WTUB an ideal option for both large venues and smaller events. Additionally, the cabinet includes various rigging points, which enable seamless integration into existing setups and facilitate flexible configurations for different applications.

The WTUB incorporates Martin Audio’s unique Wavefront technology, which includes precise phase alignment and driver placement, ensuring uniform dispersion of sound across the audience area. This is crucial for maintaining sound integrity, enabling the listener to experience a balanced sound field regardless of their position in the venue. The result is an immersive audio experience where the bass feels enveloping without being overwhelming.

Furthermore, the WTUB is compatible with various amplifier options, making it adaptable to a range of power sources. Its scalable nature allows sound engineers to combine multiple units to achieve the desired output level, making it an effective solution for events of any size.

Durability is another key characteristic of the WTUB. With its rugged construction, the subwoofer is designed to withstand the rigors of touring while maintaining consistent performance levels. The weather-resistant finish also makes it suitable for outdoor applications, where protection against environmental factors is crucial.

In conclusion, the Martin Audio WTUB stands out in the professional audio market as a powerhouse subwoofer that delivers exceptional low-frequency performance, reliability, and versatility. Its advanced technologies and thoughtful design ensure it meets the challenging requirements of modern sound production, making it a preferred choice for audio professionals worldwide.
