Martin Audio CDD8TX-WR 8" High-Performance Outdoor Wall Speaker, 120W 100V (Single)
DETAILS
Martin Audio CDD8TX-WR is a compact weatherised wall speaker designed for high-output outdoor and indoor installations.
The Martin Audio CDD8TX-WR is an ultra-compact two-way passive loudspeaker incorporating a 70V/100V line transformer, making it ideal for distributed audio systems where amplifier efficiency and multi-speaker daisy-chaining are required. It is designed for sheltered outdoor applications where changing environmental conditions are present, such as hospitality terraces, concourses and transport hubs, while also being suitable for indoor architectural environments.
Despite its compact enclosure, the CDD8TX-WR delivers impressive sound pressure levels and is well suited to foreground music and speech systems. The integrated 8” LF and 1” HF Coaxial Differential Dispersion driver provides a point-source acoustic design, allowing consistent tonal balance and coverage across wide and irregular listening areas.
Using Martin Audio’s Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology, the CDD8TX-WR projects relatively more output towards the rear of the audience while maintaining wide near-field coverage. This ensures even sound distribution from front to back, making it particularly effective in outdoor restaurant areas, theme parks, hotel zones and public venues where uniform coverage is essential.
The visually distinctive composite enclosure can be installed in either horizontal or vertical orientation, with the coaxial driver easily rotated by removing the screw-free protective grille. The curved cabinet design allows close-to-wall or ceiling mounting using discreet weatherised brackets, making it suitable for architectural installations where aesthetics are important.
The enclosure is environmentally tested to IP54 and designed to operate in temperatures between -20°C and +70°C. A zinc-plated steel grille with powder-coated finish and weatherised input panel ensures reliable long-term performance in sheltered outdoor conditions. The CDD8TX-WR is finished in black (RAL9005) or white (RAL9016) as standard, with custom RAL colours available to suit specific design requirements.
