Introduction: Wavefront Precision
Drawing on the research and technology behind MLA® Series, the Wavefront Precision Series is a new generation of multi-purpose line arrays designed to bring Martin Audio's legendary sound, coverage consistency and control to a broader range of touring applications, installations and budgets.
Wavefront Precision line arrays are designed as complete systems with external iKON® multi-channel amplifiers and optimised by 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.
With exceptional line array performance guaranteed by the acoustic design itself, scalable resolution unlocks the full potential of a Wavefront Precision array and provides an adaptable pathway into the world of advanced optimisation.
The greater the resolution of the array in terms of individually driven enclosures, the more precisely DISPLAY can fine-tune audience coverage and hold the frequency response and SPLs throughout the venue within a tight window specified by the user.
For the first time in the marketplace the decision on the level of resolution and control that is right for the install, client, event or budget is yours.

WPC
WPC is a three-way passive compact line array element consisting of two 10" neodymium magnet low frequency drivers in a Hybrid configuration, two 5" neodymium magnet mid frequency drivers, and four 0.7" neodymium magnet high frequency compression drivers loaded by constant directivity waveguides. In conjunction with automated DISPLAY system design and Vu-Net network control software applications, WPC features scalable resolution for advanced array control, resulting in outstanding levels of consistent, high quality audio that can be distributed to every point throughout the audience in a venue.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with mounting flanges and internal components (no text or symbols)The WPC is a new breed of medium-format optimised line array which brings innovative acoustic design, ultra-high performance and coverage consistency to a wider range of users, applications and budgets than previously possible. A three-way, bi-amp system, it features horn-loaded low-frequency, mid and HF sections to raise efficiency and increase output. Its high efficiency acoustic design can equal or outperform larger, direct radiator systems — a 12-box array will throw beyond 60 metres (200ft) and deliver impressive rock levels to a 5,000-seat venue, saving on truck space and weight.
Mechanical Design
WPC is designed mechanically to be an easy to handle, quick to rig, safe, rugged and stable touring loudspeaker. The cabinet is constructed predominantly from high grade multi-laminate birch and poplar plywood, with an integral 3-point rigging system. Two side pocket handles and two rear grip handles make handling safe and easy, and the cabinet is finished in black textured paint with a fabric-backed protective steel grille.
Acoustic Design
The WPC's low frequency section consists of 2 x 10" (250mm) neodymium drivers in a Hybrid® configuration which marries the benefits of horn and reflex loading. Each driver is slot-loaded into a short horn to give a high sensitivity of 103dB @ 1m/2.83V, while the rear of the driver is reflex-loaded to extend the LF output. The punch and low-frequency extension produced from such a small enclosure volume are remarkable.
Mid and HF horns are physically separate — a key factor in the WPC's exemplary 100° horizontal constant directivity dispersion pattern. The midrange horn design utilises 2 x 5" (125mm) neodymium drivers to produce a high SPL of 109dB @ 1m/2.83V, while the HF section employs 4 x 0.7" (19mm) exit neodymium compression drivers which feed four individual horns. Use of multiple small HF drivers instead of a more traditionally-used large format compression driver results in less distortion and a more extended HF response.

iK42 Amplifier
Introduction

The iKON iK42 is an advanced 4-channel controller amplifier which combines very high power density with superb audio performance, state-of-the-art DSP and network control for WPC systems.
The iK42 can deliver a full 5000 watts per channel into 2 ohms with all channels driven while remaining highly efficient. Its high efficiency reduces the energy drawn from the mains supply and ensures the power reserves needed to deliver superb sound under arduous live conditions.
Ethernet is used for system remote control and monitoring via Martin Audio's Vu-Net software application, while a user-friendly front panel interface allows full local control of all features. Dante digital audio network inputs are also provided for digital audio distribution and control.
Powerful DSP is fully integrated into the iK42 to provide a multitude of features that ensure maximum performance and worldwide compatibility. It also provides up to 1000 FIR filter taps @ 48kHz on each output channel, which is essential to implement DISPLAY's wide bandwidth optimisation process in WPC line array systems. The iK42 employs comprehensive protection functions to maintain safe operating conditions of both the amplifier and the loudspeakers driven — including a sophisticated loudspeaker limiter suite which incorporates peak, RMS and excursion limiting, as well as multiband limiting for passive 2-way systems.
DISPLAY 2.3 Overview
DISPLAY 2.3 is a unique software application for Wavefront Precision systems which calculates both inter-cabinet splay angles and the DSP parameters for optimum system performance in any given space. Unlike competitors systems which generally use a basic geometric calculation to aim their arrays, DISPLAY uses a completely revolutionary approach using an extremely accurate computer model of the array to analyse the system performance in a drawing of the venue to precisely calculate the parameters for the system to get exactly the coverage you have specified. As a system designer you get to determine exactly how you would like the system to perform in the space; the spl contour from the front to the back of your audience region, how much spill into non-audience areas is acceptable and even specify designated “hard-avoid” areas that the system will actively process to reduce spill to a minimum - great for producing a quiet stage or for reducing noise pollution off-site at outdoor events.
The application is very straightforward to use taking you through a series of steps in a logical order. In fact it won't allow you to attempt to design a system in the wrong order; steps need to be completed one after the other in the correct order making it very straightforward to design an array that will perform to its maximum potential.

DISPLAY opens with a Dashboard at the top of the screen the initial view prompting you to specify your array which is the first step of the design process. WPC or WPM are available along with the Multicellular family of products. You next specify how your array will be deployed: flown, or ground stacked; specify the number of cabinets and give the array a name.

The dashboard changes to show the tabs from left and right in the order in which the design will be completed.

First a 2D slice of the venue is created, the Coverage within the venue is specified, the splay angles calculated. A rigging report allows you to deploy the array and whilst that is being done the EQ coefficients are calculated. Finally an SPL report gives detailed information showing exactly how the system will perform. The computer model is accurate to within +/- 1dB of actual measured results so the spl tab is a reliable overview of how well your system design will cover the space.

The slice is a side view of the venue. It is drawn anticlockwise starting at the back of the stage and clicking to define the position of vertices that define all of the planes within the venue. This doesn't have to be done accurately as you can refine the precise position of the points working from architects drawings or measurements you have taken yourself. The array is positioned and the audience region specified from start to finish.

The coverage tab shows your 2D model with the planes refined into three types;-audience in green, non-audience in red and hard avoid in blue. Each dot represents a virtual microphone position at which the software will take response measurements using the integral computer model. The dots in the critical audience region are closer together for greater accuracy and are spaced closer together at the start of the audience region to mirror how each region is covered by sections of the array. The audience offset can be edited; standing, sitting or a custom offset of your choice and each region can be edited, perhaps changing a section under a balcony from audience to non-audience for example. The spl profile can be modified and the environmental conditions entered to allow optimisation to compensate for air absorption, particularly critical for outdoor events.

In the splay tab you can refine the quantity and position of the array before the system optimises the inter-cabinet splay angles and the "aim" angle for the flying grid.

Once this is complete you can further refine how the array is to be deployed in the Rig tab; choosing for example between a 2 point hang and a single point for which the application will display the best position on the flying frame to give the nearest angle to the optimised aim. The actual physical angle that the specified hole in the frame will give will be displayed with the option to use this angle in the optimisation so that the array EQ is optimised for the actual physical position in which the array is installed.
Finally the load on each flying point is shown and critically the Rig tab shows if the array is safe and meets both BGVC1 and DIN18800 standards.

Again you can enter the environmental conditions and can balance the three goals of response in your audience region, leakage to non-audience and the hard avoid performance. By default each are given equal importance but if your application demands particular emphasis on any one of these parameters they can be given greater importance.

The Resolution is entered 1 to 3 box for WPC.

The Spl tab shows the system performance. The entire venue spl is displayed on an index plot with frequency along the horizontal axis and position within the venue along the vertical. Spl is indicated with colour, blue being quietest moving through the colour spectrum to red which is the loudest. You can move the cursor around the Index Plot and the position is shown on the 2D slice of the venue top left whilst showing the frequency response at that position on the graph on the right.
The final stage is to export your design. You can produce a printable rigging report, a wire-frame 3D model of the array, export 3D data for use with EASE and most importantly export the project as a D2P file which can be uploaded directly to an iKon amplifier for powering Wavefront Precision systems.
DISPLAY 2.3 can be downloaded from the Martin audio website here:- https://martin-audio.com/support/software. There is also a comprehensive User Guide to take you through the design process in detail. We strongly recommend downloading the User Guide to fully understand the application.
Vu-Net 2.1 Overview
Vu-Net is Martin Audio's application which is used to connect to iKon amplifiers and a growing number of products including the MLA family, CDD-Live, PSX and DD12. This makes it possible to create a system with products from several different ranges and control and monitor them from a single software platform.
Connection to iKon amplifiers is made over a standard Ethernet network using off the shelf networking products so remote access to control Wavefront Precision systems is extremely straightforward. Complex systems with large numbers of amplifiers can easily be created using standard network switches, the system by default is configured with dynamic IP addressing so DHCP support will be required however a static IP configuration is also easily enabled.
Vu-Net is used to upload the presets created using DISPLAY 2.3 into the amplifiers which will automatically create a thumbnail of the Wavefront Precision array that has been designed. Once the array has been created, all of the amplifier functions are available for control to make any changes you may need to routing, crossover point, phase, delay or system EQ. The application has an intuitive GUI making is very quick and easy to get to grips with if you have used any computer based processing software. Once the system is configured the amplifiers can be kept on-line to give comprehensive monitoring of the system performance.

The application opens with a blank System diagram. It is possible to add products manually using the Palette on the left but this has limited use, in practical applications, the Discover Devices button is used.

The application searches the network for all Vu-Net enabled devices and will run an installation wizard to add them to the Vu-Net project.

The next stage is to right click on the amplifiers to access the Preset Manager.

From here the system allows you up upload the D2P file of your system design.

You can now return to the project system diagram, double click on the amplifiers and edit the system to suit your application, perhaps adding some delay to align subwoofers.

It is a comprehensive application with a host of functions to enable control and monitoring of almost every parameter of a system. For full details we would strongly recommend downloading the Vu-Net User Guide which can be found on the same page as the application download, this is an excellent reference to fully understand the use of Vu-Net.
Rigging WPC



WPC's three-point rigging system consists of two rigging points at the front and a single rigging point at the rear of the cabinet. The rear rigging bracket assembly provides six rigging holes allowing for inter-cabinet angles of 0.5^ , 1^ , 2^ , 4^ , 6.5^ and 10^ , as well as STORE, LOCK, and LINK positions, for flying arrays or for use when assembling ground stacked arrays.
WPC Connections
The WPC has two parallel-wired Neutrik® NL4 connectors on an angled panel at the rear of the cabinet, recessed to avoid damage. Connect speaker cables here, taking care to observe the colour coding of the connectors.

The two NL4s are wired in parallel so either can be used as a nominal 'input' or 'link' output. Since WPC is a bi-amped system all speaker cables and link cables must utilise 4-core cable. When the system is configured for a single box resolution system each cabinet is connected to two amplifier channels. In two box or higher resolution, connection is made from an amplifier channel to the 'input' of one cabinet and the second 'link' NL4 is used to make a parallel connection to an adjacent cabinet. The maximum is three box resolution with three cabinets connected to two amplifier channels (one for LF one for HF). Connection goes to one cabinet with links between the two cabinets below in daisy-chain fashion going from link out to input on the next cabinet.
WPCGRIDt Touring Flying Frame

The Touring Flying Frame is a comprehensively featured Flying Frame designed to meet BGVC1 and DIN18800 standards, and capable of lifting up to a maximum of 16 WPC cabinets using either one or two lift points, allowing both positive (up-tilt) and negative (down-tilt) array tilt angles.
An inclinometer is available for use with the Touring Flying Frame which checks the angle at which the WPC array is flown at (relative to the horizontal). It consists of a sensor part number ASM20017 (mounted within the Flying Frame, one required per grid) and a remote display unit part number ASM20019. Interconnection is via a standard XLR mic cable.

WPCGRIDi Install Flying Frame

The Install Flying Frame provides a cost effective rigging solution and simplicity of operation for permanently flown installations. It is designed to meet BGVC1 and DIN18800 standards, and will lift a maximum of 16 WPC cabinets using either two lift points or a single lift point, in which case the lift point position is determined by the Martin Audio DISPLAY software.

Transport Dolly for four WPC
An optional, dedicated Transport Dolly is available to house an array of four WPC cabinets. This will allow safe transportation and convenient rigging and de-rigging if your system is to be portable

This precision alignment bar is used in conjunction with the Touring Flying Frame to define the angle between the WPC array and the Flying Frame when the system is configured for ground stacking. Depending on where the Ground Stack Bar is attached to the Touring Flying Frame, a range of aiming angles from +5^ to -20^ can be achieved.

natural_image
Line drawing of a three-legged mechanical bracket (no text or symbols)Inclinometer Assembly
Martin Audio supplies an optional remote angle monitoring system which can be used to reliably check the angle at which the WPC array is flown at (relative to the horizontal). It consists of a sensor (mounted within the Flying Frame) and a remote display unit. Interconnection is via a standard XLR mic cable.

Fitting the inclinometer sensor to the Flying Grid
The WPC touring flying grid may be fitted with an inclinometer sensor which is available as an optional accessory part number ASM20017. Once coupled with the ASM20019 inclinometer read-out display via a standard 3-pin XLR mic cable, precise measurements of the angle of the array can be taken to ensure that the DISPLAY optimisation is as accurate as possible.
The touring frame part number WPCGRIDT has a mounting bracket with M4 threaded holes ready to accept the sensor which is housed in a rugged weatherproof diecast aluminium enclosure. Fitting the sensor is a very quick and easy job requiring just two tools, a 3mm Allen Key (wrench) and a PZ2 Pozidrive screwdriver.
Remove the Lid
The sensor is attached to the grid with two M4 Cap Head screws which have to be inserted through pre-drilled holes in the box. To access these it is necessary to remove the lid of the box.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with numbered components (no text or symbols)Using the PZ2 Pozidrive screwdriver, unscrew all four lid screws until the lid can be removed from the base of the box. Note that the screws do not have to be completely removed from the lid, they can remain captive in the lid to prevent them getting lost.
Attach the box to the Grid
Position the box on the outside of the bracket on the left side of the grid. There are two M4x20mm Cap head screws supplied with the sensor. These go through the holes in the bottom left and top right of the box into the threaded holes in the grid bracket. Tighten using an M3 Allen Key to ensure a tight fit.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with numbered components (no text or symbols)Refit the Lid
The lid can be re-fitted, check that the gasket on the underside of the lid edge is intact to ensure that the lid is sealed once screwed in position. Note that the design of the box is such that the mounting and lid screws are positioned outside the lid gasket to ensure that there will be no moisture ingress through their holes. All screws are stainless steel to avoid corrosion when used outdoors.

It can be connected to the read-out sensor with a standard 3-pin XLR mic cable of any length.
Martin Audio supply a cable designed specifically for use with the inclinometer system. Part Number PWA00057. This is a 35m cable using high grade AES spec microphone cable fitted with male and female Neutrik NC3XX-HD connectors which are extra rugged and have an IP rating of IP67 to enable use outdoors in all weather conditions.
Note that a single ASM20019 read-out display can be used with any number of sensors, it is not necessary to have the same number of displays as sensors, one display can be plugged into each inclinometer cable, one at a time to take a reading of the angle before entering the figure into the DISPLAY project.
Flown Systems
WPC's rigging has been derived from the highly successful rigging system employed on the MLA Mini Multicellular system. This has proved to be popular, quick and above all safe. Rigging WPC will be instantly familiar to anyone who has rigged Martin Audio systems in the past, we have made a few minor improvements to make it even easier to use and it has proved to be incredibly quick to fly and land.
WPC uses a three-point rigging system. The mechanical load of the array is taken through the side-mounted steel rigging strips which securely connect one cabinet to the next, while the best possible coupling between cabinets is ensured by means of the rear rigging points which allow a range of angle adjustment from 0.5^ to 10^ .

The cabinets are joined using machined quick release Rigging Pins. These have spring loaded ball bearings at the end of the pin which protrude beyond the outer diameter of the pin thus locking them in place. To release them, the central button is depressed (fig. 1) whilst pulling the pin clear using the wide flange (fig. 2). This is best done with the fore and index fingers pulling the pin whilst your thumb depresses the central button, a very quick and easy operation. When using the pins to link cabinets, the central button must again be depressed so the pin can be pushed into position (fig. 3). It is important to check that the central button does not remain depressed once you have put it in place as this would indicate that the pin has not been pushed all the way into position and the ball bearings at the end of the pin have not been able to pop out and lock the pin in place. If the pin is not locked the array is unsafe. The pin MUST be repositioned until it is securely locked in place.

Inter-cabinet angles are set using the rear rigging assembly. This consists of a sliding drop link bar with indexed holes which can be slid vertically upwards between the two constraining steel brackets, and secured with the Rigging Pins in one of several different positions determined by the holes in the rear bracket assembly, allowing inter-cabinet angle adjustment in six incremental steps of 0.5^ , 1^ , 2^ , 4^ , 6.5^ , and 10^ .
Rigging WPC with the WPCGRIDt Touring Flying Frame
WPC cabinets conveniently truck fully enclosed in a custom designed Transport Dolly, preconfigured in blocks of four, and are rigged straight out of the Transport Dolly to provide an extremely fast and streamlined process.
The cabinets travel in the Transport Dolly at maximum curvature. The Transport Dolly is manufactured around a welded aluminium frame with timber inserts coated in textured paint, and it has nylon skids on the base to support the cabinets and rubber pads on the underside of the top to hold the four cabinets securely when in transit. After removing the top of the Transport Dolly and the supporting poles, the WPC array is easily accessible for rigging. Rigging pins are inserted at the holes required for the cabinet angles as predicted by your DISPLAY 2.3 project, and then the array is lifted so that the angles open until the rear rigging reaches the stops limited by the rigging pins at the preset angles. A second rigging pin is put in place on each cabinet to lock the angles so the array can't collapse back down.
Once the array is flown out of the Transport Dolly, the poles can be placed in the bottom section and the top latched on to the base keeping it compact for storage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
The top of the Transport Dolly has the Martin Audio logo milled into it and arrows to indicate that it must only be pushed in the long direction. The Transport Dolly must not be travelled side-on!


The following example illustrates the procedure for rigging an array of eight WPC cabinets with the WPCGRIDt Touring Flying Frame:
Wheel a WPC Transport Dolly complete with four cabinets into place and position it under the chosen rigging point.

Rigging WPC with the WPCGRIDi Install Flying Frame
WPC cabinets are normally flown one at a time to form an array in a permanent installation, joining cabinets first at the front rigging points and then at the rear, selecting each inter-cabinet angle according to your DISPLAY 2.3 project prediction.
An array of up to a maximum of eight WPC cabinets can be flown in this way.
Attach shackles to the front and rear lift points of the Flying Frame. If using only one pickup point attach a shackle to the pickup hole predicted by the DISPLAY 2.3 project. Offer the Flying Frame up to the first box and attach it to the front rigging points by inserting a Rigging Pin at each side.

Ground Stacking WPC - Upward Tilt
Ground stacks of WPC cabinets are assembled using the Touring Flying Frame. The front stabiliser bars provide a wide and stable platform for assembling an array of up to six WPC cabinets. Ground stacks can be assembled with either a positive or negative array inclination relative to the ground simply by alternate positioning of the Ground Stack Bar. This example is shown with positive (up-tilt) array inclination.
Place the Touring Flying Frame at the desired location. Position the first cabinet on top of the bar, aligning the lower front rigging points with the rigging points on the bar. Secure with Rigging Pins on both sides. Attach the Ground Stack Bar at the -17.5° position on the Touring Flying Frame and secure with a Rigging Pin. Secure the Ground Stack Bar to the first cabinet with a Rigging Pin at the LINK position.
