WPL y WPC (Martin Audio): Purple Group's commitment to large-format festivals

Purple Group undertakes a significant investment in Wavefront Precision WPL and WPC systems Martin Audio, supplied by Ampco Flashlight.

Having deployed systems from previous generations of Martin Audio, like the models W8LC, W8LM y Longbow, the production services provider from the Netherlands decided to once again rely on the brand to respond to its projects, which range from big music festivals to concerts by top-level artists. The initial investment consisted of 24 elements WPC combined with 24 subwoofers SX218 de doble 18”, complemented by constant curvature speakers PIPE1215 that act as front fills, all powered by multi-channel power amplifiers iKON.

Shortly after delivery of these solutions, los Wavefront Precision were deployed in the Black Cross of Lichtenvoorde, the largest motocross and music festival in the world, that attracted 220 000 visitors, as well as at the rock festival Nirvana Garden Party. After resounding success and positive customer comments, Purple Group decided to add to its arsenal 24 WPL elements large format 2 x 12” and 24 high power subwoofers SXH218.

Robert de Loey, responsible for Purple Group, confirms that one of the reasons that has led him to reissue his confidence in Martin Audio has been the reliability of solutions, which “offer a sound signature that immediately attracts both artists and engineers”. “The WPC and WPL give us the flexibility to cover a wide variety of shows, from festivals to indoor events”, underlines.
