Capable of 135dB peak, Martin Audio’s new THS is a powerful point source loudspeaker combining very high output with extended frequency response. It joins the TH series to provide an option for medium-scale DJ club applications and installations which call for exceptionally high sound levels from a compact, standalone loudspeaker system.
Packing three high-technology drivers into a relatively small trapezoid enclosure, its 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.
To ensure the most effective amplifier count, THS is designed to be bi-amplified, with an internal passive network performing the mid/high crossover function.
The LF section comprises of the THS triaxial driver a reflex-loaded, high-specification 15-inch driver with a 4-inch coil, waterproof cone and neodymium magnet structure. A 4-inch midrange ring radiator and a 2.5-inch 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-inch 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 durable 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.
