Martin Audio A80T 8″ Passive Two-way On-wall Loudspeaker with 70/100V Transformer

A80T is the perfect choice for background and foreground systems which require superior performance. Its Martin Audio signature sound characteristic also provides a seamless sonic transition within a multi-zoned complex using larger Martin Audio systems such as CDD or BlacklineX.

Comprising an 8” (203mm) LF driver and a 1” (25mm) polymer dome HF compression driver on a 90° x 50° horn, it handles 200W AES, 800W peak and can produce 120dB peak output at 1 metre. It has a smooth frequency response and strong bass reproduction that extends down to 63Hz.

With a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, multiple speakers can be driven in parallel from a single channel of a low impedance amplifier, such as the Martin Audio VIA2502 or VIA5004, thereby maximising efficiency and minimising cost. A80T also incorporates a high-quality transformer for 70V/100V line operation, with transformer taps selected by a rotary switch. For 70V/100V line, we recommend the VIA5002.

For full bandwidth protection, the low and high-frequency sections are individually protected against overload. Available in black or white as standard, it can be readily painted to match any décor and can be wall-mounted vertically or horizontally using the supplied accessory WB6/8 bracket.

For outdoor use, the cabinet has an IP rating of IP54 when fitted with an optional weatherised connector cover. The VIA2502 or VIA5004 (or VIA5002 for 70V/100V line) in combination with a Martin Audio DX0.4 or DX0.6 controller will be perfect partners for small-scale efficient installations. Combine these amps with the DX4.0 controller for larger more complex installations managed by Marin Audio’s VU-NET control software.

The Martin Audio SX112 subwoofer will extend the bandwidth of A80T and is ideal for foreground music applications which require increased impact and low frequency performance.
