Martin Audio WPM – 2x6.5" Passive Mini Line Array

Product Overview

The Martin Audio WPM is a 2-way passive mini scalable line array loudspeaker purpose-built for fixed installations and touring applications in concert halls, houses of worship, theatres, and mid-size arenas. Loaded with dual 6.5" drivers, the WPM delivers consistent, controlled coverage across audience zones where full-scale line array systems are impractical. As the smallest enclosure in the Wavefront Precision commercial line array system family, it integrates directly with Martin Audio's DISPLAY software and iKON multi-channel amplification for a fully optimised, scalable system. AV integrators and system designers can deploy arrays of up to 16 enclosures with the fast, integral 3-point flying hardware included with every cabinet.

Product Description

The Martin Audio WPM is the entry point to the Wavefront Precision commercial line array system platform — a family of scalable passive and bi-amp enclosures engineered for large-venue AV installation and touring sound reinforcement. At its core, the WPM houses two 6.5" cone drivers in a 2-way passive configuration, powered externally by Martin Audio's dedicated multi-channel Class D iKON amplifier range. The Wavefront Precision system's defining capability is its scalable resolution technology, which allows the array to be mathematically optimised segment by segment rather than applying a single uniform EQ and delay curve across the entire rig. This means each zone of an audience receives coverage precision that a standard line array simply cannot achieve. Integration with Martin Audio DISPLAY acoustic prediction and system optimisation software is central to the WPM workflow: DISPLAY calculates splay angles, drive levels, and DSP parameters, eliminating manual trial-and-error and dramatically reducing commissioning time on site. The 100° horizontal constant directivity pattern ensures consistent off-axis response across wide audience planes, and the cabinet's side and rear handles allow precise splay angle setting during array build. Typical WPM deployments include corporate all-hands rooms, ballrooms, theatre hangs, house of worship installations, stadium outfills, and any application where a discreet but high-performance scalable line array loudspeaker is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many WPM enclosures can be flown in a single array?

The integral 3-point flying system supports arrays of up to 16 WPM enclosures per hang, suitable for medium-to-large venue throws.

What amplifier is required to power the WPM?

The WPM is a passive enclosure and requires external multi-channel Class D amplification. Martin Audio's iKON amplifier series is the recommended and system-integrated solution, providing onboard DSP and direct DISPLAY software compatibility.

Does the WPM require DISPLAY software?

While the WPM can be operated with generic amplification and DSP, Martin Audio DISPLAY software is strongly recommended for any commercial installation. It calculates splay angles, drive levels, and per-segment EQ and delay parameters, ensuring the scalable resolution feature delivers accurate, predictable coverage.

What is scalable resolution and why does it matter?

Scalable resolution is Martin Audio's approach to dividing an array into independently processed segments rather than treating the whole array uniformly. This allows each zone to be individually optimised for directivity and SPL, producing coverage consistency and audience uniformity that conventional line arrays cannot match.

What is the horizontal coverage pattern of the WPM?

The WPM maintains a 100° constant directivity horizontal pattern, ensuring consistent level and tonal response across wide audience planes without significant off-axis colouration.

Can the WPM be used in a permanently installed fixed application?

Yes. The WPM is designed for both touring and fixed commercial installation. Its compact cabinet and integral flying hardware make it well-suited for permanent hangs in houses of worship, theatres, auditoriums, and corporate facilities.

What warranty coverage applies to the Martin Audio WPM?

Martin Audio products purchased through Creation Networks are covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty registration and service support details.
