WPC – Medium-Format Power with Authority
WPC is a medium-format, three-way bi-amped line array that delivers premium Wavefront Precision performance to a wider range of users, applications and budgets. Sitting at the heart of the series, WPC combines innovative horn-loaded acoustics, excellent output-to-weight ratio, and scalable resolution optimisation to give rental partners and integrators a system that punches far above its footprint.
From Q2 2026, WPC systems are designed to withstand tougher environmental conditions, feature LED circuit visibility, and enjoy blazing-fast DISPLAY 3 optimisation software with enhanced LF control.
Designed for tours, festivals, live venues, sports grounds, and large-scale corporate or House of Worship installations, WPC offers the control, consistency and projection normally associated with larger systems — but with the truck space, weight and budget profile of a compact array.
With a peak output of 135 dB (141 dB with crest factor 4) and the ability for a 12-box hang to project over 60 metres (200 ft) while delivering full rock-and-roll levels to a 5,000-seat audience, WPC is the definition of medium-format done right.
If fidelity, precision and ROI matters, this is the moment to choose WPC.
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. With a peak SPL of 135dB 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 5000-seat venue, saving on truck space and weight.
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, 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 output while the HF section employs 4 x 0.7” (19mm) exit neodymium compression drivers which feed 4 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.
WPC’s low-frequency section uses 2 × 10” 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, while the rear of the driver is reflex-loaded to extend the LF output.
Key benefits:
This makes WPC particularly effective for audience areas requiring low-frequency consistency over distance — without relying solely on sub arrays to carry the weight.
A hallmark of WPC’s acoustic architecture is its physically separate mid and HF horn assemblies, designed to maintain exceptionally stable horizontal pattern control.
Midrange Section
Using 2 × 5” neodymium drivers on a dedicated horn, the mid-section delivers:
The result is unmistakable: smooth, powerful, and highly intelligible vocals that carry effortlessly across vast audience areas.
High Frequency Section
The HF system uses 4 × 0.7” exit neodymium compression drivers, each feeding its own horn. Compared to a single large-format compression driver, this multi-driver approach provides:
Together, the independent horn-loaded MF and HF sections contribute to WPC’s signature clarity, control and musicality.
From Q2 2026, WPC enclosures feature improved construction methods, improved paint and improved metalwork to make them more hardwearing.
Ideal for festivals, touring cycles, stadium installs, and environments where reliability is non-negotiable.
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.
WPC provides a rare combination of:
It’s the dependable “go-to” system for rental partners and integrators who need versatility without compromise — and the perfect complement to the wider Wavefront Precision ecosystem.
