The Martin Audio AQ12 is a two-way passive loudspeaker designed to provide high sound pressure levels from an architecturally friendly, heavily braced, vented enclosure. It features a 12 inch (300mm) long-throw, direct radiating bass driver with a 2.5 inch (63mm) voice coil, and a 1.7 inch (43mm) diaphragm, 1 inch (25mm) exit compression driver coupled to a true constant directivity HF horn.
The AQ12’s high power makes it ideal for medium throw applications in clubs, bars, AV presentations, places of worship, foyer presentations, sports venues and large exhibition spaces. Its high sound pressure level and extended low frequency response makes it suitable for medium throw live sound applications in theatres and concert halls and its sonic accuracy makes it appropriate for medium scale post production applications.
The AQ12 features a generously sized high frequency horn and a high order crossover for superior pattern control down into the low midrange and smooth off-axis characteristics. The AQ12 is housed in a heavily braced MDF enclosure and fitted with a flush, acoustically transparent steel grille. The enclosure is fitted with six M8 inserts for fitting AQWB8, or AQCL brackets to allow for horizontal or vertical mounting, plus two additional M8 inserts for either a safety point or fitting the AQFB Flying Bracket.
A Martin Audio AQX Electronic Controller is available to provide AQ12/subwoofer crossover, limiter and trim functions.
