Martin WPS Line Array
Martin Audio has launched the WPS 8-in. line array, which is the fourth
model in the Wavefront Precision series.
The WPS has a peak SPL of 133dB and its flexibility makes it an ideal system
for live sound reinforcement and installations in theatres, concert halls, and
houses of worship. It can also be deployed as front-fill, delay, or side-hang
support for larger Wavefront Precision systems.
The WPS is a passive three-way system that integrates a high density of drive
units in a compact enclosure. It features two 8-in. LF drivers, four 4-in. midrange
drivers, and 4 x 1-in. exit HF compression drivers loaded by a moulded HF horn, which
occupies the full width of the enclosure, defining the 100-degree horizontal constant
directivity coverage pattern of both the HF and midrange sections.

Audinate
Dante-As-Software
Networking Solutions
Audinate has announced two new soft-
ware-based Dante products to support
the AV industry’s shift from purpose-built
hardware to software-based solutions run-
ning on standardized hardware. The Dante
Embedded Platform enables manufacturers
to add full Dante functionality in software
running on Linux for x86 and ARM proces-
sors while the Dante Application Library
allows software developers to integrate
Dante functionality directly into their PC
and Mac applications.
These new software-based solutions give
manufacturers and developers the ability to
deploy Dante into products where it wasn’t
previously feasible, in ways that weren’t
previously possible. Dante can now be de-
ployed in products where either the price
point or form factor made integrating dedi-
cated Dante hardware challenging. Dante as
software also provides more flexibility, with
the potential to enable new capabilities
like Dante being deployed retroactively to
products already in the field, the ability to
add new features and functions to products
on the fly, and the possibility for manufactur-
ers, integrators, or customers to configure
the number of Dante channels they want
for a particular application.
Audinate has introduced these new
software products in conjunction with
several lead customers, including QSC,
Analog Devices (ADI), and Zoom Video
Communications.
