Martin Audio SXCF118
Compact Cardioid
Flown Subwoofer
Description
Each driver has its own chamber with optimised bass reflex porting. This arrangement produces a cardioid dispersion pattern which maximises the front radiation and reduces unwanted radiation behind the subwoofer.
This arrangement produces a cardioid dispersion pattern which maximises the front radiation and reduces unwanted radiation behind the subwoofer. The recommended iK42 amplifier optimises the DSP parameters for front and rear drivers to maximise the rear rejection — from 21dB at 43Hz to 28dB at 75Hz. This keeps low frequencies away from stages and walls as well as reducing reverberant energy in the room — greatly improving low frequency response accuracy and impact.
In front of the enclosure, the output from the two drivers is additive, giving an extra 2dB of output when compared with a conventional 1 x 18” subwoofer.
The enclosure is constructed from tour-grade plywood and finished with a hard-wearing textured polyurea coating. It is equipped with four grab handles and foam-backed perforated steel grilles protect the front and rear drivers. Integral flying hardware, coupled with the WPSGRIDT, allows the SXCF118 to be incorporated at the top of a WPS array, or flown as a separate array alongside. Interlocking skids prevent movement when stacked and a threaded plate in the top surface facilitates pole-mounting of up to 4 WPM enclosures or a single point source enclosure.
The addition of the input cover accessory makes the SXCF118 weather resistant and suitable for outdoor usage.
