Wavefront W8 3-Way System

A1.1Introduction

The Wavefront W8 3-Way System is a high performance 3-way loudspeaker system

in a trapezoidal cabinet. The Wavefront W8 integrates two horn-loaded 12" low-mid

drivers with a horn-loaded 6.5" high-mid driver and a horn-loaded 1" very high

frequency compression driver. The 6.5" high-mid cone driver provides a better order

of performance than a large compression driver and is optimally loaded using a

toroidal phase plug.

Wavefront series trapezoidal cabinets 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 when used with compatible 12:1 flying systems. One important

advantage of the MAN flying system is that inter-cabinet connections place a minimal

load on the cabinets and, being external, can be load certified and inspected independently.
