Martin Audio’s Wavefront Precision Series are multipurpose line arrays that are being introduced at InfoComm 2017 to bring the company’s sound, coverage and control to a broader range of users. The series includes dual-10 WPC and dual 6.5-inch WPM, which incorporate the new external iKON multi-channel amps and automated DISPLAY software. The series also includes the new SX118 and SX218 (single- and double-18) subwoofers. And the XE units are new coaxial 12- and 15-inch low-profile wedges, designed to be partnered with the new iKON 4-channel amplifier for up to 143 dB SPLs.

Martin Audio will debut its new Wavefront Precision line arrays and XE/LE Series stage monitors and amplifiers at InfoComm 2017.
The Wavefront Precision Series is a new generation of multipurpose line arrays that brings Martin Audio’s signature sound, coverage consistency and control to a broader range of touring applications, installations and budgets.
The WPC (2 x 10” LF) and WPM (2 x 6.5” LF) Wavefront Precision line arrays are designed as complete systems with the new external iKON® multi-channel amplifiers optimized by Martin Audio’s automated DISPLAY software.
Adopting the principle of scalable resolution with external, dedicated multi-channel amplifiers, Wavefront Precision line arrays are uniquely flexible, upgradeable, and financially accessible.
As Dom Harter, Managing Director, explains: “Martin Audio’s highly successful MLA Series consists of fixed resolution systems. With Wavefront Precision we wanted to introduce a system with a flexible and scalable approach to resolution and control of coverage.
“Simply put, the more boxes with dedicated amplifier channels, the higher the resolution and scale of coverage control achievable.
“This means even at the lowest level of resolution, the results are still fundamentally better than traditional line arrays at no extra cost, and at the top end of resolution users can enjoy many of the benefits MLA systems provide.”
The new Wavefront Precision Series also includes two new subwoofers, the SX118 and SX218, a single 18” and double 18” respectively.

The new XE Series bring engineering innovation to high performance stage monitoring with sleek, low-profile enclosures and Martin Audio’s unique Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology with a patent pending third static waveguide.
The XE300 (1 x 12” LF) and XE500 (1 x 15” LF) deliver exceptional monitor sound with a defined coverage pattern that allows the artist freedom of movement, while reducing overlap with adjacent monitors.
The XE series is designed as a complete system and is partnered with the new iKON 4-channel amplifier, maximizing the capability of the monitor while ensuring both engineer and artist will experience the same high level of consistent performance from an XE monitor anywhere in the world.
Jason Baird, R&D Director, commented, “Because you can go right up and over the XE monitor as well as further back without significant changes in SPL or tonal balance, the flexibility for an artist and engineer is greatly improved. This, coupled with the fact that the XE500 has a staggering 143dB capability makes it the definitive article in high end monitoring.”

The new LE range of stage monitors now brings engineering innovation to everyday stage monitoring—delivering exceptional performance and controlled coverage at a price point not previously possible for a truly professional monitor.
Both the LE100 (1 x 12” LF”) and the LE200 (1 x 15” LF) are designed for a wide range of users and applications—from up-and-coming bands and regional rental houses, to corporate AV events, HoW and fixed installations.
With extremely compact enclosures and the same Coaxial Differential Dispersion drivers as the CDD-LIVE range, the new LE Series monitors ensure sound that cuts through the mix with a coverage pattern that allows performers greater freedom of movement compared to conventional monitors. Instead of the typical ‘hot-spot’, they produce a near-rectangular coverage pattern over a listening plane at head height—with a wide horizontal coverage close to the monitor that reduces gradually as distance increases to maintain consistent SPL and tonal balance.
James King, Marketing Director, commented, “Professional and affordable, the latest LE Series puts great sound, optimized coverage and the very latest in innovative monitor technology literally at your feet.”
