Product Details Q8
Q8 combines a 8-inch LF driver with a 2-inch voice coil and a 1-inch-exit HF compression driver using a 1-inch dome. The passive two-way system is specified for 121 dB peak output, or 127 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.
It can provide distributed reinforcement, worship sound, corporate AV, front fill or infill, and discreet stage monitoring. With a BlacklineQ subwoofer, the same cabinet supports portable or installed short- to medium-throw music systems.
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. M6 inserts accommodate wall hardware, while M8 points accept compatible 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.
