Martin Audio has revealed its latest new product in the form of the THS point source loudspeaker.
Capable of 135dB peak, Martin Audio’s THS is designed to combine high output with extended frequency response. It joins the wider TH series and is suited to medium-scale DJ club applications and installations which require high sound levels from a compact, standalone loudspeaker system.
Featuring three high-technology drivers in a relatively small trapezoid enclosure, its three-way triaxial configuration is engineered to deliver enhanced output for its size, while a compact Martin Audio SX subwoofer extends low frequency output to creates a four-way set-up with a small footprint.
THS is designed to be bi-amplified, with an internal passive network performing the mid/high crossover function.
The THS triaxial driver comes with an LF section that comprises a reflex-loaded 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.
The birch plywood enclosure is finished in hard-wearing 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.
Dom Harter, managing director, Martin Audio, commented, “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, and I’m delighted that they and THS will be present at the PLASA Show, London, while guests at our UK Open Days will also get to hear THS in anger.”
