Detailed review of Martin Audio MSX Subwoofer

Ability to synchronize with MLA Mini system

The Martin Audio MSX is designed as a central “power plant”, meaning that in addition to reproducing bass, it also distributes power and controls the signal for the entire MLA Mini speaker system.

With nine built-in Class D amplifier channels, the MSX dedicates one channel to itself and eight channels to up to four bi-amped MLA Mini speakers. This allocation allows each module to operate as an independent yet fully synchronized “cell,” minimizing phase shift or distortion.

As a result, audiences in different locations in the space can feel the sound evenly, clearly and powerfully. This is an advantage that traditional subwoofer systems cannot bring.

Flexibility in operation

In real-world environments, flexibility is key to ensuring a sound system operates efficiently. MSX has powerful networking capabilities, allowing the sound engineer to control the entire setup from a single computer.

From crossovers, delays to EQ, everything can be fine-tuned in software. The combined use of IIR and FIR filters ensures low latency for live performance while maintaining phase accuracy and tonal balance.

This allows the MSX to adapt quickly to a wide variety of scenarios: from small auditoriums, highly reverberant theatre spaces, to outdoor stages with huge SPL requirements.

Real-life experience in performance

The biggest difference artists and audiences feel when having MSX in their sound system is the power and solidity of the bass range. At rock concerts, EDM or outdoor festivals, MSX reproduces the sub-bass range (30–50Hz) with a strong but not boomy impact, while maintaining the necessary neatness to not “swallow” the mid and high ranges of the MLA Mini system.

Many sound engineers share that when deploying MSX, they can significantly reduce the need for EQ compensation in the low range, because the subwoofer itself has optimal signal processing thanks to the built-in DSP. The result is a more impressive, emotional audience experience, especially in performances that require extremely strong bass energy.

Long-term investment value

Not only is the Martin Audio MSX strong now, it also offers long-term benefits to system investors. Class D amplifier technology is renowned for its high efficiency and low power consumption, which means significantly reduced operating costs.

In addition, the integrated DSP limits the need for peripheral devices, reducing the amount of hardware investment and maintenance. The wooden case design is coated with scratch-resistant, impact-resistant and moisture-proof Polyurea paint, helping the device maintain durability in the harsh conditions of touring or outdoor installation.

This is what makes the MSX a worthwhile investment for event companies, large theaters or audio equipment rental units, as it ensures high performance while reducing maintenance costs over many years.

Applications of Martin Audio MSX Subwoofer

The Martin Audio MSX is an active subwoofer and the amplifier centerpiece of the MLA Mini system, so its application goes beyond bass reproduction, extending to controlling, synchronizing, and distributing power to the entire line array system. Here are a few practical applications:

• Professional stage performance.
• Theater and large hall.
