Radian Audio Apex Series Monitors

Radian Audio Engineering has introduced the new Apex Series of compact stage monitors. The Apex 1200 and the Apex 1500 are ultra-compact, low-profile, two-way floor monitors for live performance and installed sound applications. The Apex 1200 features Radian’s 12-inch coaxial speaker with a 2-inch compression driver, offering a 90-degree conical dispersion. Power handling is 500 Watts RMS with a frequency response of 55 Hz–17 kHz and a sensitivity of 99 dB. The enclosure is 12.5“ x 14.5” x 21.5” and weighs 56 lbs. The Apex 1500 houses a 15-inch coaxial speaker in an enclosure engineered to be almost half the size of conventional stage monitors without sacrificing performance. Also incorporating a 2-inch compression driver and generating a 90-degree conical dispersion, the Apex 1500 offers a power handling of 500 Watts RMS, a frequency response of 45 Hz –18 kHz and a sensitivity of 102 dB. By using coaxial drivers, Radian Audio has been able to engineer the two new Apex wedges with front baffles that are 40 percent smaller than most conventional floor monitors. The low-profile cabinets minimize audience sightline interference while the compact form factor reduces the onstage footprint. Constructed from 13-ply 3/4-inch Baltic birch with a sturdy steel front grille, both enclosures incorporates a built-in carrying handle plus a hidden cable management system that prevents accidental damage to the twin NL-4 connectors.

Martin Audio W8VDQ

Martin Audio’s W8VDQ compact, three-way system combines line array and differential dispersion technologies provide an advanced solution for even cover-age over wide angles and throw distances. The system has been designed to provide a short-throw horizontal dispersion of 120°, narrowing to 100° as the throw increases. The vertical differential directivity (VDQ) creates progressively more HF output as throw distance increases. The resulting dispersion pattern is de-signed for covering audiences located on flat or gradually sloping surfaces. Designed for passive or bi-amp operation, and combining a Hybrid quad 8 in LF and MF configuration with quad 1 in HF — all horn-loaded — the system achieves a maximum SPL of 131 dB (continuous), 137 dB (peak). Aimed at a wide range of ap-plications, from live and theatre sound to fixed installations, the W8VDQ is compatible with WMX, WS18X and WS218X subwoofers.
