A55T

5.25" Passive Two-way on-wall Loudspeaker with 70/100V Transformer

Where to Buy or Rent

The ADORN A55T is a two-way passive speaker with an elegant design that is perfect for architectural environments that require high-fidelity sound from an unobtrusive, ultra-compact enclosure. It brings class-leading performance, reliability and value to a wide range of commercial sound applications — from retail outlets, bars and restaurants to corporate offices and convention centres.

Features

  • Contemporary, unobtrusive design
  • High output capability
  • High fidelity sound
  • Low and high-frequency overload protection
  • 70V/100V line transformer
  • Vertical or horizontal orientation
  • Wide 110° x 80° coverage
  • Wall bracket included
  • 5-year warranty

Applications

  • Retail outlets
  • Cafes, bars and restaurant chains
  • Hotels and convention centres
  • Educational facilities
  • Corporate offices

The A55T 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 a 5.25” (135mm) LF driver and a 0.75” (19mm) silk-dome HF driver on a 110° x 80° horn, it handles 50W AES, 200W peak and can produce 113dB peak output at 1 metre. It has a smooth frequency response and strong bass reproduction that extends down to 65Hz.

The A55T incorporates a high-quality transformer for 70V/100V line operation, with transformer taps selected by a rotary switch. The recommended amplifier is the VIA5002 in conjunction with a suitable line transformer. 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 wall bracket supplied. In addition, for general outdoor use the cabinet only requires the additional waterproof connector cover.

The VIA5002 amplifier in combination with a Martin Audio DX0.4 or DX0.6 controller will be perfect partners for small scale efficient installations, or with the DX4.0 controller for larger more complex installations, which could then also be managed by Martin Audio’s VU-NET control software platform.

The Martin Audio SX110 subwoofer will extend the bandwidth of ADORN on-wall speakers and is ideal for foreground music applications which require increased impact and low frequency performance.

The loudspeaker shall be a passive, two-way system. Its transducers shall consist of a reflex-loaded 5.25” low frequency driver and a 0.75” dome high frequency driver mounted on a high frequency horn.

Horizontal dispersion shall be 110° and vertical dispersion shall be 80°. The on-axis frequency response shall be 90Hz-17kHz +/- 3dB and the loudspeaker shall produce a maximum SPL of 113dB peak calculated at 1 metre. Power handling shall be 50W AES, 200W peak. The loudspeaker shall be equipped with a transformer for 70V/100V line operation, with taps selected by a rotary switch. The switch shall also provide for 16 ohm low impedance operation of the loudspeaker.

Input connectors shall be push-terminal type. Low and high frequency sections shall be integrated by an internal passive network, with LF and HF auto-resetting fuses to protect the drivers from overload.

The enclosure shall be made from UL94V-0 rated ABS material and fitted with threaded inserts for a wall bracket. The drivers shall be protected by a perforated steel grille.

Dimensions (W x H x D) shall be 152mm x 245mm x 114mm (6in x 9.6in x 4.5in). Weight shall be 2.8kg (6.2lbs).
