Ready to rumble at the upcoming PLASA Show in London, Martin Audio has announced its new THS point source loudspeaker. Intended for installs and medium-scale DJ club applications, the compact speaker can reportedly hit 135 dB peak.
The THS packs three drivers into a relatively small trapezoid enclosure, using the three-way triaxial configuration to deliver notable mid- and high-frequency performance. THS is designed to be bi-amplified, with an internal passive network performing the mid/high crossover function.
Within the THS triaxial driver, its LF section includes 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.
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.
