A80T

8" Passive Two-way On-wall Loudspeaker with 70/100V Transformer

Where to Buy or Rent

The ADORN A80T is a two-way passive speaker with an elegant design that is perfect for architectural environments that require high fidelity sound from an unobtrusive, 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
  • 70V/100V line transformer
  • Low and high-frequency overload protection
  • Vertical or horizontal orientation
  • 90° x 50° coverage
  • IP54 with optional waterproof connector cover
  • 5-year warranty

Applications

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

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.

In addition, for general outdoor use the cabinet only requires the additional waterproof connector cover to be IP54 compliant. 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.

Architectural Specs
Martin Audio ADORN A80T

The loudspeaker shall be a passive, two-way system. Its transducers shall consist of a reflex-loaded 8” low frequency driver and a 1” polymer dome high frequency driver mounted on a high frequency horn.

Horizontal dispersion shall be 90° and vertical dispersion shall be 50°. The on-axis frequency response shall be 63Hz-17kHz +/- 3dB and the loudspeaker shall produce a maximum SPL of 120dB peak calculated at 1 metre. Power handling shall be 200W AES, 800W 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 8ohm 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 246mm x 421mm x 233mm (9.69in x 16.56in x 9.18in). Weight shall be 9.08kg (20.02lbs).

The loudspeaker shall be the Martin Audio A80T.
