WS2A specifications

The Martin Audio WS2A is a versatile and powerful subwoofer designed to deliver high-quality low-frequency performance in various sound reinforcement applications. Renowned for its exceptional build quality and performance, the WS2A is an integral part of Martin Audio's engineering legacy, marrying advanced technology with practical design.

At the heart of the WS2A is its dual 18-inch drive units, which are specifically engineered to achieve optimal efficiency and minimal distortion. This robust driver configuration ensures that the subwoofer can handle high power levels while producing deep, impactful bass that resonates well in both indoor and outdoor settings. The WS2A boasts a frequency response that extends down to 30 Hz, allowing it to reproduce the low-end energy that is critical for genres ranging from electronic dance music to rock.

One of the standout features of the WS2A is its innovative waveguide design. This technology enhances the directivity of the bass output, ensuring that the low frequencies are uniformly distributed across the audience area, thus minimizing the so-called "dead spots" often found in venue acoustics. This feature is particularly advantageous in larger arenas or outdoor festivals where consistent sound coverage is paramount.

The WS2A is built using high-quality, durable materials, which contribute to its longevity and reliability. The enclosure is constructed from void-free birch plywood and features a rugged finish to withstand the rigors of touring and live events. The design also incorporates sophisticated porting techniques that reduce unwanted turbulence and ensure clarity even at high sound pressure levels.

Equipped with an integrated amplifier, the WS2A provides ample power while simplifying setup and connectivity. The advanced processing capabilities allow users to tailor the performance of the subwoofer to suit specific venue requirements, enhancing its versatility. The unit can be deployed in various configurations, including stacked or flown, making it adaptable to different sound system designs.

In conclusion, the Martin Audio WS2A is a professional-grade subwoofer that excels in delivering powerful and precise bass. With its dual 18-inch drivers, advanced waveguide technology, rugged build quality, and user-friendly design, it stands out as an ideal choice for sound engineers and live performance venues looking to elevate their audio experience. With the WS2A, Martin Audio continues to set the standard in low-frequency reproduction.
