The Martin Audio W8VDQ combines line array and differential
dispersion technologies to provide an advanced solution to the
requirement of even coverage over wide angles and throw
distances. Short throw horizontal dispersion is 120º, narrowing
to 100º as throw increases. The vertical differential directivity,
VDQ, creates progressively more HF output as throw distance
increases. The resultant dispersion pattern is ideally suited to
covering audiences located on flat or gradually sloping surfaces.
