The Martin Audio stand at PLASA 2002 was the site for an important announcement yesterday, and the first appearance of the Synco W8L Line Array System by Martin Audio, a specially configured version of the Martin Audio W8L line array system which is exclusive to the Synco Europe Network. Fred Heuves, MD of Synco Europe, and David Bisset-Powell, MD of Martin Audio, announced the signing of the deal that will see Synco Network members equipped with the system.

The deal represents Martin Audio’s largest single European sale since the launch of the acclaimed W8L system in the spring of this year. The Synco W8L Line Array will be operated in parallel with the existing stocks of the network’s Renkus-Heinz Synco Touring System and proprietary Synco floor monitors. "The network has grown very fast in the five years since we launched it and reached over 1000 cabinets but still we needed to invest in more PA to fulfil the needs of all the members," said Fred Heuves. "In addition, all Synco members across Europe had had requests for Line Array systems and had noticed the advantage for specific applications. Therefore we saw a potential for added business if we complemented our current speaker line with our own Line Array system. Together with the network partners we looked at and listened to all the systems currently on the market and decided that the Martin Audio W8L was the right way to go."

The Synco W8L Line Array system features specially badged W8L cabinets and Martin Audio amplifiers, matched to dedicated Synco loudspeaker controllers, but is still completely compatible with the MA W8L Line Array system. The choice of Synco controllers is intended to ensure seamless electronic and acoustic compatibility with Synco Network members’ RH-STS systems, which will serve alongside the Synco W8L Line Array system on delay and infill duties, and in venues where line array is inappropriate. Proprietary Martin Audio flying hardware is used.Martin Audio MD David Bissett-Powell commented: "We are absolutely delighted with this agreement as it will see the system being used extensively throughout Europe, complimenting the existing W8L worldwide network. The Synco Network companies are all well respected in their own territories and this adds up to an excellent deal for them as well as for us."
