Trade Descriptions Act

Due to Martin Audio’s policy of continuing improvement, we reserve the right to alter these specifications without prior notice. Martin Audio is committed to refining state of the art sound reinforcement, combining in-depth product and field applications research with advanced manufacturing techniques. Every Martin Audio product is built to the highest manufacturing standards and rigorously tested to ensure that it meets the performance criteria specified in the design.

The loudspeaker system shall be of the two-way passive type consisting of one 8" (200mm) direct radiating reflex loaded low frequency transducer and one 1" (25mm) exit HF compression driver mounted on a user rotatable constant directivity horn in a trapezoidal MDF enclosure. The enclosure shall be fitted with threaded inserts for attachment to a custom bracket. An internal 3kHz passive crossover network shall integrate the low and high frequency sections.

Performance of the loudspeaker system with its electronic controller shall meet or exceed the following criteria:

Frequency response measured 1 metre on axis shall be 75Hz-20kHz ±3dB.

High frequency dispersion at -6dB points shall be 90˚H x 50˚V.

Power handling shall be 150W AES, 600W peak. Rated impedance shall be 8 ohms.

Maximum SPL measured at 1 metre on axis shall be 113dB continuous, 119dB peak.

Dimensions (W) 258mm x (H) 410mm x (D) 255mm (10.2ins x 16.2ins x 10ins).

Weight 10.5kg (23lbs).

The loudspeaker system shall be the Martin Audio AQ8.
