This is an important tool for sound engineers to effectively control SPL and phase between multiple loudspeaker clusters.
• Amplifier Compatibility: The speaker is optimized to be paired with Martin Audio's iKON or VIA series amplifiers. These amplifiers provide a suitable power output of 400–600W/8Ω and have built-in DSP protection circuits, helping the Martin Audio FlexPoint FP8 Speaker reach maximum power with high sound clarity and stability.
• Performance Data: The speaker has a rated power of 300W RMS and 600W Peak, an impedance of 8Ω, a sensitivity of 95 dB (1W/1m) and a maximum SPL of 124 dB. These parameters demonstrate the ability to perform powerfully in medium-sized spaces, while ensuring a flat frequency range, natural sound and wide dynamics.
• Dimensions & Weight: Weighing in at approximately 10 kg, the FP8 is easy to transport and install in mobile or fixed systems. Its compact size saves space without sacrificing performance, making it ideal for professional applications that require high mobility.

Detailed review of Martin Audio FlexPoint FP8 Speaker

Experience realistic sound and frequency control

The Martin Audio FlexPoint FP8 speaker delivers a true and seamless sound experience from the first listen. The flat frequency response from 65 Hz – 20 kHz ensures a clear midrange, vocals stand out, and bass is not overshadowed. At a maximum SPL of 124 dB, the sound remains clean and distortion-free, demonstrating excellent cone excursion control.

Highs are delivered smoothly thanks to the HF driver's polymer diaphragm, while the 8" neodymium bass delivers tight bass force, fast response, and no hum over extended periods.

Coaxial structure – Accurate and natural sound reproduction

The coaxial point source structure is the most prominent difference of Martin Audio FlexPoint FP8. The coaxial design helps the signal from the bass and treble speakers emit from the same sound point, creating a consistent and phase-accurate sound field (phase coherence).

This helps listeners feel the natural sound space, clear sound image, especially effective when used in mixing rooms, small stages or high-end spaces that require high positioning accuracy. Compared to traditional 2-way designs, FP8 gives a more "homogeneous sound" feeling, without the phenomenon of frequency deviation between speakers.
