Martin Audio W8VDQ
3-Way Differential Directivity System
Compact
Description
The vertical differential directivity, VDQ, creates progressively more HF output as throw distance increases. The resultant dispersion pattern is ideally suited to covering audiences located on flat or gradually sloping surfaces.
W8VDQ Features
- Compact, 3-way, differential directivity system
- Hybrid® quad 8” (200mm) LF + MF configuration
- LF + MF - 102dB @ 2.83V, 1m (single cabinet)
- Quad 1” (25mm) HF, all horn loaded - 106dB @ 2.83V, 1m
- Max 131dB continuous, 137dB peak output
- Consistent 100º long throw, 120º short throw
- (-6dB) horizontal mid and HF pattern control
- 30º vertical differential directivity, VDQ
- Passive or bi-amp operation
- Optional yoke/spigot mount adaptor
