WPM – Ultra-Compact Line Array, Maximum Impact
WPM is a highly versatile, ultra-compact Wavefront Precision line array, engineered for small to medium-scale venues where superb fidelity, consistent coverage and precise control are essential. Despite its small footprint, WPM delivers peak SPL of 130 dB (136 dB with crest factor 4) and can project over 35 metres (115 ft), making it capable of filling up to 3,000-seat venues with live music, corporate events, AV installations and Houses of Worship.
Its compact size and light weight make WPM the go-to choice for small theatres, ballrooms, concert halls, and multi-purpose spaces, while retaining the high-output performance expected from Martin Audio’s flagship line array technology.
From Q2 2026, WPM systems are designed to withstand tougher environmental conditions, feature LED circuit visibility, and enjoy blazing-fast DISPLAY 3 optimisation software with enhanced LF control.
If fidelity, precision and ROI matters, this is the moment to choose WPM.
WPM is incredibly versatile. Its very small footprint and light weight make it the system of choice for smaller venues which require superb fidelity, coverage consistency and control from an ultra-compact line array. With a peak SPL of 130dB peak, it is also very powerful — a 12-box array will throw beyond 35 metres (115ft) and produce live music at high levels in up to 3000-seat venues. It embodies the very latest acoustic technology in an ultra-compact enclosure and is the ideal system for small-to-medium scale theatres and live music venues, AV events and installations in concert halls, ballrooms and HoW.
A passive 2-way system with an impedance of 16 ohms, it can be driven in blocks of 1, 2, 3 or 4 resolution configuration. With a complement of 2 x 6.5” (165mm) LF drivers and a vertical column of 3 x 1.4” (35mm) aluminium dome HF drivers, the acoustic design of WPM is uniquely innovative. The LF drivers are located in the side walls of the HF horn — an arrangement which would introduce acoustic cavities which would degrade the horizontal dispersion if conventional cone drivers were used. WPM’s drivers adopt an elegant solution by having solid moulded diaphragms which match the contours of the horn walls and maintain the continuity of the horn profile. Each LF driver also features a demodulation ring in the neodymium motor system to minimize distortion and maximise mid-band output.
In the triple-driver HF section, each individual HF wavefront is precisely coupled to the horn throat via a short waveguide for faultless 100° horizontal constant directivity coverage.
LF Section – Integrated Horn Walls for Maximum Efficiency
This arrangement allows WPM to deliver high-output, controlled low frequencies in a remarkably compact enclosure — a major advantage over conventional cone designs at this size.
HF Section – Precision by Name, Precision by Nature
The result is exceptional intelligibility and uniformity, ensuring that vocals, speech, and instrumentation remain crisp and present even in the tightest spaces.
WPM is designed for quick, repeatable deployment:
Whether flying as a small main array or supporting larger systems as front-fill or delay, WPM provides predictable, high-quality coverage every time.
From Q2 2026, WPM enclosures feature improved construction methods, improved paint and improved metalwork to make them more hardwearing.
These improvements make WPM reliable and resilient for touring, live performance and fixed-install environments alike.
Using external iKON multi-channel amplifiers, each array can be deployed at different resolution levels. More amplifier channels equal more individually driven enclosures — and that unlocks finer optimisation, tighter SPL consistency, and more accurate room control through DISPLAY.
Even at lower resolution the acoustic design delivers exceptional performance. But scalable resolution means you can:
It’s performance made flexible, predictable, and financially accessible.
Through a combination of mechanical angle optimisation and advanced DSP filtering, DISPLAY 3 software:
Getting fast and accurate results for a complete system with the freedom to quickly refine ensures optimal sound system deployment for every venue.
Array DSP parameters calculated by DISPLAY are easily uploaded to the iKON amplifiers via Ethernet, using Martin Audio’s VU-NET™ real-time control and monitoring software.
With the option to transmit digital audio over a single CAT5 cable, quality is maintained over long cable runs and integration with other devices in the sound system is straightforward.
Furthermore, from Q2 2026, every Wavefront Precision enclosure is now smarter as they feature an LED indicator that can be illuminated via VU-NET software to identify its circuit location.
iKON amps provide powerful DSP processing of up to 1000 FIR filter taps @ 48kHz on each output channel. This high number of taps is essential to implement DISPLAY’S wide bandwidth optimisation capabilities.
The complete system approach not only guarantees that Wavefront Precision arrays perform repeatedly and effortlessly to their design maximum, but also that they are compatible worldwide.
WPM combines:
It’s the ultimate ultra compact line array solution, giving rental houses and integrators exceptional coverage, clarity, and deployment flexibility in the smallest possible footprint.
