Page 4: Ddx Series
Thank you for purchasing this Martin Audio DDX loudspeaker system. The Martin Audio DDX Series has been designed to deliver high performance sound in permanent installations or as a portable system. All DDX loudspeakers are constructed from birch/poplar plywood and finished with a durable black textured paint, with white a white option available to order. -
Page 5: Coaxial Differential Dispersion Technology
DDX USER GUIDE Coaxial Differential Dispersion Technology All DDX Series full-range models feature Martin Audio’s unique, patent protected coaxial differential dispersion technology. Non-coaxial systems can suffer from uneven frequency response in the crossover region because of interference between the LF and HF sections. -
Page 6: Accessories
Wall Brackets The DDX rear mounting configuration is compatible with Martin Audio wall brackets. These two-part brackets enable the wall mounting section to be installed during the first stage fix when cables are run. The cabinet section can be fitted to the loudspeaker and installed during the second stage fix detailed on page 14. -
Page 7: Eye Bolts
Eye Bolts All DDX Series loudspeakers have threaded inserts available for flown applications in fixed installations. Full range cabinets have M8 inserts and subwoofers have M10 inserts. The inserts can be used for fitting bespoke flying hardware or eye bolts. These must be forged steel shouldered types certified with a safe working load of the cabinet weight. -
Page 8: Installation
Be aware that loudspeakers producing very high sound levels can move or creep. To avoid this, place friction material between the floor and loudspeaker and between each loudspeaker or use strapping to secure the stack. DDX USER GUIDE V1.0 Copyright © 2020 Martin Audio Ltd. -
Page 9: Wall Mounting
Use appropriate wall fixings suitable for the composition of the wall. These must be of sufficient strength to support the weight of the loudspeaker; 8kg for the DDX8, 14kg for the DDX10 and 17kg for the DDX12. DDX USER GUIDE V1.0 Copyright © 2020 Martin Audio Ltd. - Page 10 Make sure that you follow appropriate safety measures if you are working at height such as using a scaffold tower or lifting platform which allows you to safely use both hands for this.

- Page 11 Once the vertical position is fixed the two horizontal bolts can be tightened. This is best achieved by using a socket set with an extender bar to reach the bolt heads. Tilt Angle Grub Screw DDX USER GUIDE V1.0 Copyright © 2020 Martin Audio Ltd.

Page 12: Eye Bolts
Most commonly these are used in conjunction with shouldered eye bolts for suspending the cabinets using appropriately rated chain or steel wire. Martin Audio’s HTK00003 (M8) and HTK00004 (M10) are rated for use in flown applications. Note that if you plan to use alternative eye bolts these must be shouldered cast steel, not formed steel types commonly available from DIY stores. -
Page 13: Suspending The Cabinet
Seek help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in any doubt. DDX Series enclosures can be suspended singly by means of the threaded inserts provided. Enclosures are fitted internally with steel corner reinforcement brackets, where necessary, to ensure that each cabinet is strong enough to be hung from its top. -
Page 14: First And Second Stage Fixing
All DDX Series wall brackets disassemble into separate first fix and second fix components. This means that part of the bracket may be secured to the wall or ceiling at first fix, without the necessity of having the cabinet on site. The rest of the bracket can then be fitted to the cabinet at floor level at second fix and then the two parts of the bracket easily mated. -
Page 15: Grille Removal And Driver Rotation
90° to preserve the asymmetric dispersion. The loudspeakers are designed to make this as straightforward as possible with spring-loaded grilles which are easily removed, and with drivers secured with hexagonal head screws. It is also possible to rotate the Martin Audio badge on the grille. Grille Removal No screws are used to hold the grille in place. -
Page 16: Driver Rotation
Replace the bolts and the grille. Note: If the loudspeaker in portrait mode is installed upside down the driver must be rotated through 180° to ensure the correct dispersion characteristics. DDX USER GUIDE V1.0 Copyright © 2020 Martin Audio Ltd. -
Page 17: Badge Rotation
Badge Rotation In landscape the Martin Audio badge should be rotated on the grille. The badge is spring-loaded and very easy to rotate. The badge is easier to rotate if the grille is first removed. With the grille removed push the spigot holding the badge into place so that the badge is protruding forward from the grille and is proud of the recess in which it sits. -
