Wavefront Longthrow W8CT & W8CM Line Array System
The Wavefront Longthrow W8CT & W8CM system ( Section 2 ) is a compact, very
powerful, light weight, multiple horn line array loudspeaker system whose cabinets
have the same footprint and flying points as Wavefront W8C and W8CS systems.
Unlike odd-ball line arrays from other manufacturers, W8CTs and W8CMs have been
designed to integrate seamlessly into the rest of the Wavefront family. The
W8CM/CT combination may be rigged in continuous columns for high power, very
long throw applications or may be used to complement regular W8C clusters by
providing spot coverage for difficult seating areas.
The W8CT combines three horn-loaded high-mid drivers with six horn-loaded high
frequency compression drivers. Like the award-winning W8C high-mid system,
W8CT high-mid cone systems are optimally loaded to produce much lower distortion
than typical waveguide-loaded compression drivers.
The W8CM has two vertically arrayed, low-mid horns to complement W8CT high-
mid/high systems with seamless amplitude and polar integration.
Like all Wavefront series trapezoidal products, W8CTs and W8CMs are fitted with
MAN load-certified flying points and are designed to comply with the 12:1 safety
factor specified by the German VBG70 standard.
