The Martin Audio W8LCD is a compact, wide dispersion,
vertically arrayable enclosure. It can be used individually and in
small quantities for short to medium throw (<40m) applications
as well as a downfill element for the W8LC. Its 20° vertical
dispersion requires fewer cabinets to cover the same area as a
conventional line array element, yet it still benefits from the
smooth, predictable coverage of a vertically coupled system.
