 Martin Audio ADORN on-wall loudspeakers
bring class-leading performance, reliability
and value to a wide range of commercial sound
installations — from retail outlets, bars and
restaurants to corporate offices. From the café
to the boardroom, ADORN loudspeakers are
designed for distributed sound applications that
require high performance from visually-discreet,
ultra-compact enclosures.

With Martin Audio signature sound

characteristics, the two-way A40 and A55
are the perfect choice for back-ground and
foreground systems which require superior
sound quality. They also provide a seamless
sonic transition within a multi-zoned complex
using larger Martin Audio systems such as CDD
or BlacklineX.
