The Blackline Q8 by Martin Audio is a powerful, ultra-compact passive two-way loudspeaker designed for high-performance sound reinforcement in space-conscious installations replacing the previous X8.
 
Engineered with an 8-inch (200mm) low-frequency driver featuring a 2-inch (50mm) voice coil, alongside a 1-inch (25mm) exit high-frequency compression driver with a 1-inch (25mm) dome, the Blackline Q8 delivers exceptional clarity, detail, and balance across the full frequency spectrum.
A key feature of the Q8 is its advanced Differential Dispersion™ horn, providing wider, more consistent audience coverage compared to conventional designs. The rotatable horn allows for seamless horizontal or vertical orientation, making it highly adaptable for a variety of professional audio applications.
 
Despite its compact footprint, the Blackline Q8 produces impressive output levels, achieving a peak SPL of 121dB (up to 127dB with crest factor 4). This makes it ideal for:
Live music venues
Corporate AV and conference spaces
Bars, restaurants, and hospitality environments
Houses of worship
Portable sound reinforcement systems
 
Built with Martin Audio’s renowned engineering precision, the Blackline Q8 combines high output, controlled dispersion, and installation flexibility in a discreet enclosure. For venues requiring premium sound quality without compromising on space, the Blackline Q8 is a versatile and reliable loudspeaker solution.
