3.1 W8C
The W8C is at the heart of the Wavefront Touring "toolkit". Confirming the
trend for increasingly compact systems, it can be rigged quickly to deliver
outstanding performance and power in smaller configurations than
previously possible. It is a fully horn loaded 3-way system designed to
cover the frequency band from 120Hz-20kHz. Ground-breaking horn
design features a 12" (305mm) low-mid horn operating from 120-750Hz
and a unique combination of 6.5" (165mm) high-mid horn and 1" (25mm)
exit high frequency device. The sophisticated high-mid horn reproduces
the 750Hz-3.3kHz band and has been specifically developed to overcome
the power and distortion limitations of traditionally used large format
compression drivers. The result is a remarkably clean, transparent sound
which can produce extremely high levels without distress. The high-mid
and high frequency sections of the W8C can be driven actively from
separate amplifier channels, or passively using a single amplifier channel.
Active or passive operation is selected by a switch on the rear panel.
3.2 W8CS
The W8CS has been specifically designed for use with the W8C compact
touring system. Its unique port-assisted, folded-horn design combines the
high efficiency and bass impact which is characteristic of horn design with
the low frequency extension of a reflex enclosure. The W8CS can either
be used as the sole source of low frequencies in a W8C system or may be
used in conjunction with WSX ground stacked subwoofers in arena systems
and flown as part of the main W8C array.
It features a very high power 800 watt 15" (380mm) driver with magnet
structure and suspensions optimised for large linear excursion. The folded-
horn loading results in acoustic efficiency typically 5dB greater than that of
direct radiator bass systems. In addition, substantial output below the horn
cut-off frequency is achieved by venting the drive unit chamber via a unique
Linear Flow™ port which provides low frequency extension with reduced
distortion and air-noise.
3.3 WSX
The WSX is a very high efficiency sub-bass horn which can deliver
exceptionally high levels of bass in all applications. It is designed to be
ground stacked and used in multiples to increase the mouth area of the
stack and couple the horns. It features an 18" (450mm) high power bass
driver loaded by a long folded horn to give maximum efficiency reproduction
of the lowest octaves. Horn loading the WSX results in typically a 6dB
greater output for the same input in comparison with direct radiator subs.
Additional benefits of horn loading include fast transient performance and
reduced driver excursion.
