Extremely versatile, the Wavefront W3 is a unique, innovative full-range system, utilising advanced Martin
Audio engineering to achieve true three-way full frequency performance from an enclosure only 28" high. It
delivers the clarity required for speech and music applications as well as the power, warmth and depth to
generate an exciting live sound or playback experience in nightclubs.
The low frequency driver is a powerful 15" (380mm) transducer cooled by a heat exchange system developed
to reduce power compression. Mid-range and high frequencies are generated by a unique mid/HF horn
featuring the same technology used in Wavefront 8 touring systems. The mid-range and high frequency horns
are designed to have matched coverage patterns to ensure that they combine perfectly both on and off-axis.

technical specifications
architectural and engineering specifications
TYPE
Compact bi-amplified three-way trapezoid
The loudspeaker system shall be of the three-way bi-
amp type consisting of one 15" (380mm) direct radiating
reflex loaded low frequency transducer, one 6.5"
(165mm) cone driver mounted on a constant directivity
horn flare with integral toroidal waveguide 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 for wall and
ceiling mounting. The loudspeaker shall be operated
with a separate electronic controller providing a 650Hz
crossover between low and mid/high frequency
sections. Mid and high frequency sections shall be
integrated by an internal 3.3kHz passive crossover
network.
