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 switchable active/passive type consisting of one 12" (300mm) direct radiating reflex loaded low frequency transducer and one 1" (25mm) exit HF compression driver mounted on a constant directivity horn in a trapezoidal plywood enclosure. The enclosure shall be fitted with an integral pole mounting socket and threaded inserts for wall and ceiling mounting. Active or passive operation shall be selected by a switch at the rear of the enclosure. In active mode the loudspeaker shall be bi-amped and operated with a separate electronic controller. In passive mode, low and high frequency sections shall be integrated by an internal 1.5kHz passive crossover network.

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 60Hz-18kHz ±3dB.

High frequency dispersion at -6dB points shall be 70˚H x 40˚V.

Power handling shall be 300W AES, 1200W peak (LF/HF), 60W AES, 240W peak HF

Rated impedance shall be 8 ohms LF/(LF+HF), 8 ohms HF.

Maximum SPL measured at 1 metre on axis shall be 122dB continuous, 128dB peak.

Dimensions (W) 365mm x (H) 554mm x (D) 364mm (14.4ins x 21.8ins x 14.3ins).

Weight 24kg (53lbs).

The loudspeaker system shall be the Martin Audio W2.
