2 kW Martin Audio Wavefront System (W8C/WSX)

The 2kW W8 system is suitable for a complete band in medium sized venues (from 400 to 800 capacity*). Hire cost is from £600.00 + VAT per day (see our prices page for details).

The W8C/WSX systems are fully horn-loaded, substantially increasing output and improving directional control. In terms of volume (dB SPL), the 2 kW Wavefront system is equivalent to six 1.6 kW F12 systems.

In addition to equipment specified on the Full Systems page, the 2 kW Wavefront system includes:

• Two Martin Audio W8C loudspeakers

Three-way active enclosures.

• Two Martin Audio WSX

18" horn-loaded bass cabinets.

These speakers are superb, which is why they are among the most commonly used professional touring speakers in the UK today.

We include enough speaker cable to cross a 20-metre stage.

• A dedicated amplifier rack, containing

2 x Martin Audio MX5 controllers

2 x Crown MA2400 amplifiers (High/Mid)

2 x Crown MA3600 amplifier (Low-Mid/ Bass)

• Six Martin Audio Blackline F10 monitors

*Extra monitors are available on request (see our prices page for details)

• Two QSC PLX1804 amplifiers

Each amplifier provides 2 x 550W (8Ω) or 2 x 800W (4Ω).

• Two dbx 1231s

2 x 31-band stereo graphic equalisers (3U each).

*Assuming a distance of 50m from front of stage to the back of the audience, a 2 kW Wavefront system will produce a peak sound pressure level of approximately 110dB SPL in the mid-audience (25m) position of an open-air concert. Higher levels apply to indoor events.
