Broadcast monitoring
The WM0.5 is a miniature high performance stage monitor intended for use where stage space is restricted
and for broadcast situations where visually unobtrusive floor monitors are required. The enclosure has been
specially designed to enable it to be used at two different angles - 40˚ (normal) and 25˚ (close-up).
The WM0.5 is a passive 2-way system featuring an 8" (200mm) bass driver and a 1" (25mm) ferrofluid cooled
compression driver on a 50˚ x 70˚ horn with the major axis of the horn mounted vertically instead of
horizontally to increase the listening window in the vertical plane and reduce it on the horizontal plane. The
drive units are housed in a rugged plywood enclosure built using the same techniques as larger Martin touring
systems.
Optimum performance is achieved when the WM0.5 is used with a system controller which provides low
frequency equalisation and limiter functions. Because it is a passive full-range system embodying correct
acoustic design principles, it may also be used without a controller - provided recommended amplifier power is
not exceeded and care is taken to avoid amplifier clipping and excessive low frequencies below 70Hz.
The base of the enclosure is provided with threaded steel inserts for use with a tripod stand or for ceiling
suspension. A perforated steel grille protects the drive units and a single handle allows the WM0.5 to be easily
carried with one hand.
