Martin Audio X8 8" 2-Way Passive Loudspeaker System with 90x50 Horn

Martin Audio X8 Ultra-Compact Passive 2-way System

The X8 is an ultra-compact passive 2-way loudspeaker with an impressive high output capability for its small size. It is loaded with an 8-inch diameter, 2-inch voice coil low frequency driver and a 1-inch HF driver mounted on a 90° x 50° horn that is easily rotated for horizontal or vertical orientation.

The X8 can be used in a variety of professional applications as a stand-alone speaker or can be combined with a BlacklineX subwoofer as an easy-to-use portable system, ideal for applications requiring a small system capable of pristine sound over short and medium throw distances.

The X8’s enclosure is constructed from plywood and fitted with a screw-free steel grille, a pole-mount socket with a removeable plug to maintain clean lines for install applications, plus M8 inserts for wall brackets and eyebolt suspension.
