Martin Audio S12 Speaker User Manual


 
multi-angle enclosure to be used in either its vertical or horizontal
orientation. To rotate the horn for horizontal use, remove the grille (see 3.4
below), unscrew the horn and rotate it through 90 degrees.
The enclosure is provided with ten M8 threaded inserts and four M8 bracket
inserts for a variety of mounting configurations. It is also provided with a top
hat fitting for use with a tripod or as a pole socket for mounting above a
Blackline subwoofer.
Use of a controller with the F10 is optional. For demanding applications,
use with an M3 or DX1 electronic is recommended.
3.3 S12 Sub-bass system
(Fig 3)
The S12 is an extremely compact sub-bass system. It has been designed
for use with the F8 and F10 full-range loudspeakers systems in situations
where extended low frequency output and increased system headroom are
required. When used with an F8 or F10, it will extend the response of the
complete system to below 45Hz.
It features a high power 12" (300mm)/3" (75mm) voice coil, long excursion
drive unit reflex loaded in a birch plywood enclosure. It can operate in
either passive add-on mode using its own internal switchable passive
network or may be used actively with an M3 or DX1 controller. In the active
configuration, the controller will provide crossover, EQ and limiter functions
for the S12 and F8/F10 combination. Please refer to the M3 or DX1 users
guide for further information.
The S12 is provided with a top hat fitting that can be used as a pole socket
to mount an F8 or F10 above the enclosure.
3.4 Grille Removal
To remove the grille, first remove any grille retaining screws. The grille can
then be removed by inserting a flat bladed screwdriver under one of the
notches at the top and bottom of the grille then gently levering the grille out
of the side channels.
