Product Details Q12
Q12 combines a 12-inch LF driver with a 2.5-inch voice coil and a 1-inch-exit HF compression driver using a 1.7-inch dome. The passive two-way system is specified for 127 dB peak output, or 133 dB peak with crest factor 4. The Differential Dispersion horn can be rotated for portrait or landscape deployment. Its 90°–110° horizontal by 50° vertical pattern maintains broad near-field coverage while directing sound towards the more distant audience.
Q12 can operate independently or with a BlacklineQ subwoofer. The combination provides the output and bass capacity for portable reinforcement and dancefloor systems while retaining manageable cabinet size.
The symmetrical multi-angle plywood cabinet has black textured paint, a screw-fixed cloth-backed steel grille and an ergonomic handle made from recycled ABS. M8 points accept compatible wall brackets, yokes or eyebolts. The pole socket includes a removable cover for discreet installation.
External processing and amplification are required. Martin Audio recommends a DX processor with VIA amplification or an iKON amplifier-processor for the appropriate crossover, EQ and protection.
