Theatre sub-bassLive sound reinforcementNightclub system sub-bass
The WS2A is a dedicated subwoofer for use with Wavefront Series full-range enclosures in situations where ultra-low frequency enhancement and increased system headroom are required.
It will extend the power bandwidth of the complete system to below 35Hz and is capable of reproducing levels of deep bass normally associated with much larger enclosures.
It is intended to be sited at ground level whilst the main system is flown - its compact dimensions making it particularly suited to theatre and nightclub applications.
The WS2A features twin high efficiency 15" (380mm) diameter/4" (100mm) voice coil drivers reflex loaded in an unusually compact plywood enclosure built using the same construction techniques as larger Martin touring systems.
It is designed to be used below 100Hz in conjunction with the DX1 system controller configured for the WS2A to provide system specific equalisation, crossover and limiter functions.
