Martin Blackline F8 Ultra-Compact 2-Way Passive System

$179.40

The Blackline F8 is a versatile, 2-way passive system designed for applications where high output is required from an ultra-compact enclosure. It features a long-excursion 8" (200mm) low-frequency driver and a 1" (25mm) HF compression driver mounted on a constant directivity 90˚ x 50˚ horn. The horn is user rotatable to allow the F8’s multi-angle enclosure to be used in either its vertical or horizontal orientation, depending on the application.

Special attention has been given to the high excursion requirement of the LF driver. This enables the sound balance of the speaker to remain consistent throughout a range of power inputs. Where extra low-frequency output is required, sub-bass systems such as the Blackline S12 or S15 may be added.

The enclosure is provided with ten M8 inserts and four M6 bracket inserts for a variety of mounting arrangements. 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 F8 is optional. For demanding applications, an M3 or DX1 controller configured to perform EQ and limiter functions is recommended.

About the Martin Blackline F8 Ultra-Compact 2-Way Passive System

The Martin Blackline F8 is an ultra-compact, two-way passive loudspeaker system engineered for applications where space and aesthetics are primary concerns without sacrificing professional audio performance. Its exceptionally shallow cabinet depth allows for discreet installation in environments like retail spaces, restaurants, hotels, and conference rooms, where speakers must blend seamlessly into the architecture. Despite its small size, the system is designed to deliver clear, articulate sound with a wide, even dispersion for consistent coverage in challenging acoustic spaces.

The loudspeaker utilizes a carefully matched component set featuring an 8-inch low-frequency driver and a 1-inch compression driver, governed by a precision passive crossover. This design prioritizes vocal clarity and mid-range presence, ensuring speech intelligibility and musical reproduction remain natural and balanced. The integrated, low-profile grille and paintable baffle enable the speaker to be finished to match surrounding surfaces, making it virtually invisible once installed.

Built with a durable, mineral-filled polypropylene enclosure, the Blackline F8 is both lightweight and acoustically inert. It offers multiple flexible mounting solutions, including an integrated U-bracket for swift surface mounting, as well as compatibility with standard OmniMount patterns for more custom installations. As part of Martin's Blackline series, it is designed for integrators who require a reliable, high-quality audio solution that prioritizes minimal visual impact and straightforward installation in commercial settings.
