GUIDES

ENGLISH

(Fig 1)

The F8 is a versatile, 2-way passive system designed for applications where high output is required from an ultra-compact enclosure. It features a long excursion 8" (200mm) low frequency driver and a 1" (25mm) HF compression driver mounted on a constant directivity 90˚ x 50˚ horn.

With its multi-angle cabinet and rotatable horn, it can be tripod mounted or used as an ultra-compact floor monitor. To rotate the horn for horizontal use, remove the grille (see 3.4 below), unscrew the horn and rotate it through 90 degrees.

The enclosure is provided with ten M8 threaded inserts and four M6 bracket inserts for a variety of mounting configurations. It is also provided with a top hat fitting for use with a tripod or as a pole socket for mounting above a Blackline subwoofer.

Use of a controller with the F8 is optional. For demanding applications, use with an M3 or DX1 electronic controller is recommended.

3.2 F10 Full-range system

(Fig 2)

The F10 is a 2-way passive system, designed to provide exceptional club sound reinforcement and stage monitoring from a very compact enclosure. It features a powerful 10" (250mm) low frequency driver and a 1" (25mm) HF compression driver mounted on a constant directivity 90˚ x 50˚ horn.

Depending on the application, the HF horn can be rotated to allow the

S12, F10, F8 specifications

Martin Audio is renowned for its innovative sound reinforcement solutions, and the F10, F8, and S12 models are exemplary representatives of the brand's commitment to delivering high-quality audio performance. These products are designed to cater to a variety of applications, from live performances to installations, offering versatility and reliability.

The F10 is a compact and lightweight two-way passive loudspeaker designed for flexibility in deployment. One of the key features of the F10 is its 10-inch low frequency driver, which provides a powerful base response, while the 1-inch HF driver ensures clear and articulate high frequencies. Its rotatable waveguide allows for precise control of the sound dispersion, making it ideal for both front-of-house use and as a fill speaker in larger systems. The F10’s robust construction ensures durability, making it suitable for touring or permanent installations.

Similarly, the F8 provides a slightly smaller alternative with an 8-inch low frequency driver. Despite its smaller size, the F8 impresses with its impressive output levels, making it perfect for smaller venues or as part of a multi-speaker setup. Like the F10, the F8 features a rotatable waveguide for optimized sound coverage and a durable enclosure designed to withstand the rigors of regular use. This speaker excels in scenarios where space is at a premium but where high-quality sound is still required.

The S12 subwoofer complements the F8 and F10 with its powerful bass response. Featuring a 12-inch low frequency driver, the S12 is specifically engineered to deliver punchy and impactful low-end frequencies that enhance the overall audio experience. Its versatile design allows it to be used in various configurations, including as a ground-stacked unit or in an array with other speakers. The S12 is equipped with advanced technologies, including a built-in low-pass filter, ensuring seamless integration with the F10 and F8 speakers, resulting in a cohesive sound across the frequency spectrum.

Together, the F10, F8, and S12 form a cohesive audio system that is easy to transport and set up while providing a notable performance for live music, events, or installed sound systems. Their combination of powerful drivers, advanced acoustic engineering, and durable design makes them a valuable choice for sound professionals seeking reliable and quality audio solutions. Whether used individually or as part of a larger array, these speakers are engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality and performance in any environment.
