The W8LMDI is a mini, very wide-dispersion vertically arrayable enclosure. It can be used individually and in small quantities for short to medium throw applications (up to 30 metres) as well as a downfill element for W8LMI systems.

Constant directivity horns are used for high and mid frequencies, ensuring consistent on and off axis performance. The high frequency horn generates the correct Wavefront curvature to provide optimum inter-cabinet summation and to seamlessly integrate with W8LMI arrays. Our revolutionary HiBlade™ device, patent pending, projects the ultra-high frequencies right out to the extremes of the 120° horizontal dispersion pattern. Conventional constant directivity horns are unable to match this performance without making significant compromises to other aspects of the design.
