Martin Audio Adorn A80T 8" 2-Way Passive Loudspeaker with Bracket 100V & 8 Ohm - Black or White
The Martin Audio Adorn A80T is a compact 8" 2-Way Passive Loudspeaker delivering 200W AES power handling, 120dB peak SPL and 91dB sensitivity across both 70V/100V line and 8 Ohm operation — combining elegant, unobtrusive design with class-leading acoustic performance for retail, hospitality, corporate and commercial audio installations.
The Martin Audio Adorn A80T is a high-performance compact passive loudspeaker designed for architectural environments that demand high-fidelity sound from a visually unobtrusive enclosure. Bringing Martin Audio's signature sound quality to a wide range of commercial audio applications — from retail outlets, cafes, bars and restaurants to hotels, convention centres, corporate offices and educational facilities — the A80T delivers class-leading performance, reliability and value across both background and foreground music systems. Its contemporary design and availability in black or white — both readily paintable to match any décor — make it an ideal choice for architects, AV designers and installers specifying audio solutions where aesthetics are as important as acoustic performance.
For installations within multi-zoned complexes already using larger Martin Audio systems, the A80T's Martin Audio signature sound characteristic provides a seamless sonic transition between zones — making it a natural companion to the CDD and BlacklineX series for consistent sound quality across an entire venue.
Premium 2-Way Driver Configuration
The A80T features an 8" (203mm) LF driver with a 2" high-temperature voice coil and ferrite motor system, delivering strong, extended bass reproduction down to 63Hz for a full-bodied and natural sound that goes well beyond what is typically expected from a compact commercial loudspeaker at this size. The 1" (25mm) polymer dome compression driver with 1" exit is mounted on a 90° horizontal by 50° vertical horn for precise, controlled coverage — ensuring consistent, even sound distribution across the listening area whether the speaker is wall-mounted vertically or horizontally. A 2.3kHz passive crossover with auto-resetting fuses on both the LF and HF sections provides full bandwidth overload protection for long-term reliability in permanent commercial installations.
100V Line & Low Impedance Flexibility
The A80T features a high-quality integrated transformer for 70V/100V line operation, with tappings selected via a rotary switch — available at 60W, 30W, 15W and 7.5W at 70V, and 60W, 30W and 15W at 100V — providing comprehensive flexibility for integration into large-scale distributed audio systems. For 70V/100V line operation, Martin Audio recommends the VIA5002 amplifier. With a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms, multiple A80T speakers can also be driven in parallel from a single channel of a low-impedance amplifier such as the Martin Audio VIA2502 or VIA5004 — maximising efficiency and minimising cost in smaller direct-drive installations. A Martin Audio DX0.4 or DX0.6 controller provides an ideal pairing for small-scale installations, with the DX4.0 controller recommended for larger, more complex installations managed via Martin Audio's VU-NET control software.
Versatile Mounting, IP54 Weatherproofing & 5-Year Warranty
The A80T is supplied with the WB6/8 wall bracket as standard, supporting both vertical and horizontal wall-mounting orientations to suit any installation requirement. Six M6 inserts are provided for bracket attachment, and an optional CDDCB6/8 ceiling bracket is available for landscape ceiling mounting. For outdoor or semi-outdoor installations, the A80T achieves an IP54 rating when fitted with the optional weatherised connector cover — making it suitable for covered outdoor areas, terraces and other partially exposed environments. The A80T is backed by Martin Audio's 5-year manufacturer warranty for long-term reliability and peace of mind in commercial installations.
