Martin Audio announces THS, a powerful point source loudspeaker capable of 135dB peak, designed to combine high output with extended frequency response. It joins the wider TH series and is suited to medium-scale applications and installations, which call for high sound levels from a compact, standalone loudspeaker system.
“Packing three high-technology drivers into a relatively small trapezoid enclosure, its innovative three-way triaxial configuration delivers enhanced output for its size and gives it the edge over comparable two-way systems in terms of superior mid- and high-frequency performance. Adding a compact Martin Audio SX subwoofer to extend low frequency output creates a dynamic, four-way set-up with a small footprint,” the announcement states.
To ensure the most effective use of amplifier count, THS is designed to be bi-amplified, with an internal passive network performing the mid/high crossover function.
The THS triaxial driver’s LF section comprises a reflex-loaded, high-specification 15” LF driver with a 4” coil, waterproof cone and neodymium magnet structure. A 4” midrange ring radiator and a 2.5” HF ring radiator, both with high temperature polymer diaphragms, are arranged coaxially at the rear of the LF driver and integrated into a 1.4” exit. This transitions through the magnet structure of the LF driver into an 85° x 50° horn. The horn itself is user-rotatable, with a large mouth to maintain pattern control down through the midrange.
A birch plywood enclosure is finished in textured paint and incorporates multiple threaded inserts to facilitate a variety of portrait and landscape mounting options—including eyebolt, yoke, pole and truss mounting. Twin handles assist installation and deployment, while a steel grille, with triple-layer polyester backing, protects the drivers and resists dust and water ingress.
Managing Director Dom Harter comments, “This has been a stellar year for Martin Audio product launches with the addition of Torus 8, FlexPoint series and now this stunningly powerful compact triaxial loudspeaker THS. It’s been thoroughly road-tested with our friends at the Bug Club over the summer.”
