have been checked and controllers have been set to suit the power amplifiers to be used. Music should be
used to check that controllers are receiving and sending the appropriate signal bands and then each power
amplifier level control advanced in sequence to check system operation and patching.
Assuming that controller output levels and limiters have been left as recommended for WLX subwoofers,
power amplifier level controls should be set to full (fully clockwise).
Rack mounting
As with other systems, always leave a 1U space between subwoofer power amplifiers and controllers.
Although most modern amplifiers don’t radiate significant fields it's better to play safe and keep the system
free from hum & buzz. Rear supports are recommended. Check the manufacturer's application notes for
details.
Placement
Flown WLX subwoofers provide maximum integration with Martin Audio W8LC or W8LM line arrays but
efficiency can suffer due to the lack of ground loading. ViewPoint™ should always be used to ensure
maximum safety.
As mentioned earlier, ground stacking WLX or WLXGS subwoofers will provide maximum efficiency but a
solid floor is essential for good dynamics.
WLX/WLXGS horns flare from the label end. They can be symmetrically coupled by placing them label-to-
label.
