The WT2 is a powerful, compact theatre system which can be used as a stand-alone enclosure in a distributed
system or arrayed in multiples. The switchable active/passive two-way cabinet is very efficient, combining
smooth dynamic full-frequency performance with excellent articulation, utilising high power drive units for
maximum SPL.

Optimum performance is achieved with the MX5 or DX1 controller configured for the WT2 to perform
system specific equalisation, phase adjustment, crossover and limiter functions. With a Wavefront Series sub­bass system, ultra-low frequency enhancement takes the power bandwidth to below 35Hz.

architectural and engineering specifications

The loudspeaker system shall be of the two-way
switchable active/passive type consisting of one 12"
(300mm) direct radiating reflex loaded low frequency
transducer and one 1" (25mm) exit HF compression
driver mounted on a constant directivity horn in a
trapezoidal plywood enclosure. The enclosure shall be
fitted with an integral pole mounting socket and
threaded inserts to facilitate a variety of mounting
options. Active or passive operation shall be selected by
a switch at the rear of the enclosure. In active mode the
loudspeaker shall be bi-amped and operated with a
separate electronic controller. In passive mode, low and
high frequency sections shall be integrated by an
internal 2kHz passive crossover network.

Performance of the loudspeaker system with its
electronic controller shall meet or exceed the following
criteria:
Frequency response measured 1 metre on axis shall be
70Hz-18kHz ±3dB.
High frequency dispersion at -6dB points shall be
70˚H x 40˚V.
Power handling shall be 400W AES, 1600W peak
LF/(LF+HF), 60W AES, 240W peak HF.
Rated impedance shall be 8 ohms LF/(LF+HF).
Maximum SPL measured at 1 metre on axis shall be
122dB continuous, 128dB peak.
Dimensions (W) 365mm x (H) 554mm x (D) 364mm
(14.4ins x 21.8ins x 14.3ins).
Weight 24.5kg (54lbs).

The loudspeaker system shall be the Martin Audio
WT2.
