The loudspeaker system shall be of the two-way switchable active/passive type consisting of one 12" (300mm) direct radiating reflex loaded low frequency transducer and one 1" (25mm) exit HF compression driver mounted on a constant directivity horn in a trapezoidal plywood enclosure. The enclosure shall be fitted with an integral pole mounting socket and threaded inserts to facilitate a variety of mounting options. Active or passive operation shall be selected by a switch at the rear of the enclosure. In active mode the loudspeaker shall be bi-amped and operated with a separate electronic controller. In passive mode, low and high frequency sections shall be integrated by an internal 2kHz passive crossover network.

Performance of the loudspeaker system with its electronic controller shall meet or exceed the following criteria:

Frequency response measured 1 metre on axis shall be 70Hz-18kHz ±3dB.

High frequency dispersion at -6dB points shall be 70˚H x 40˚V.

Power handling shall be 400W AES, 1600W peak LF/(LF+HF), 60W AES, 240W peak HF.

Rated impedance shall be 8 ohms LF/(LF+HF). Maximum SPL measured at 1 metre on axis shall be 122dB continuous, 128dB peak.

Dimensions (W) 365mm x (H) 554mm x (D) 364mm (14.4ins x 21.8ins x 14.3ins).

Weight 24.5kg (54lbs).

WT2 specifications

The Martin Audio WT2 is a powerful and versatile loudspeaker system designed for a wide range of applications, including live sound reinforcement, installations, and corporate events. Known for its exceptional audio quality and reliability, the WT2 has become a preferred choice for sound engineers and event organizers alike.

One of the standout features of the WT2 is its advanced driver technology. It incorporates a high-performance 12-inch LF (low frequency) driver, paired with a 1-inch HF (high frequency) compression driver. This combination ensures a broad frequency response, delivering rich bass and crystal-clear highs. The phase-plug design used in its construction minimizes distortion and enhances vocal clarity, making it ideal for both music and spoken word presentations.

The WT2 system is characterized by its lightweight yet rugged enclosure, crafted from top-quality plywood and finished with a durable textured coating. This not only improves its aesthetics but also enhances its durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of touring and frequent transportation. The design includes ergonomic handles for easy carrying and setup, making it a practical choice for on-the-go professionals.

Incorporating cutting-edge DSP (Digital Signal Processing) capabilities, the WT2 can be tailored to suit various performance environments. Users can adjust EQ settings, manage crossover points, and apply limiting, ensuring optimal sound quality regardless of the setting. This flexibility allows sound engineers to fine-tune the system for large venues, outdoor events, or intimate gatherings.

Moreover, the WT2 features multiple rigging points, providing versatility in deployment options. It can be flown, stacked, or used in arrays, allowing sound professionals to configure the system to achieve the best coverage for any audience size. The horizontal and vertical dispersion patterns are meticulously designed to provide even sound distribution across the listening area, reducing dead spots and ensuring that every listener experiences the same high-quality audio.

Overall, the Martin Audio WT2 stands out for its combination of innovative technologies, superior sound performance, and rugged design. Whether for a concert, corporate event, or installation, it delivers the reliability and quality that sound professionals demand.
