SX Series
Introduction
The SX Series subwoofers are a range of sub bass enclosures designed to complement any of Martin Audio’s full range systems. The range
encompasses ultra-compact sub-miniature subs perfect as a discreet, unobtrusive installation partner to the ADORN or CDD ranges, right
up to very high output twin 18” models perfect for touring use in conjunction with Wavefront Precision line arrays.
The SX Series is suitable for installation or portable applications. Larger models are built to be weather resistant as standard making them
suitable for occasional outdoor use as a portable system or for installed systems as long as they are not directly exposed to the elements.
Larger, heavier models are available with optional castors for touring use to make handling as easy as possible.
Two powered, Dante equipped models are available for any applications requiring an active, networked solution. These are an ideal partner
to the CDD-LIVE range.
A range of accessories are available including eyebolts for flying the smaller models, a flying frame for the twin 18” SX218 and rugged
transit covers.

SX110
SX110
Introduction
The SX110 is a slimline subwoofer designed for applications that call for increased impact and low frequency performance in a visually
unobtrusive enclosure. Its very small size makes it perfectly suited to installed sound applications where space is limited such as under
banquette seating.
It features a 10” (250mm)/2” (50mm) voice coil driver and generously sized low frequency port for reduced air noise. An ideal subwoofer
to augment the bass output of ADORN Series or small CDD loudspeakers, it can be used on the ground or flown using integral M8 inserts.
The SX110 enclosure is constructed from plywood and finished in black or white textured paint as standard. An impact-resistant perforated
steel grille protects the drivers, and rubber feet on the base resist movement.
When used with Martin Audio full-range systems, crossover and EQ functions can be performed by the DX0.5 system controller.

Connections
The SX110 has a pair of NL4 connectors on the rear panel. These are wired in parallel and whilst one is nominally labelled ‘INPUT’ and
the other as ‘LINK’, connection in and out can be made to either connector. Connection to the drive unit(s) is made to pins 1+/-. There is
no internal connection to pins 2+/- although these are linked together so can be used for example to carry a mid/top signal and connected
to a full range system using a cable wired with reverse connections (pins 2 to pins 1).
Flying SX110
Eyebolts
The SX110 features M8 inserts to allow flown applications using eyebolts. M8 eyebolts suitable for flown systems are available as accessories
from Martin Audio. These are cast steel shouldered eye bolts specifically designed and rated for flown applications. If alternative eyebolts
are used these must be cast or machined products stamped with their SWL. Formed steel non-shouldered eyebolts commonly available
from DIY stores should not be used under any circumstances as they are not sufficiently load-rated for flown applications.
Remove the M8 counter-sunk screws and screw the eyebolts into position. We would recommend three eyebolts and an additional eyebolt
as a redundant safety bond. This should be attached to a different point than the other bolts to support the cabinet in the event of the
other points failing.
Eyebolts should be connected to a suitably rated fixing point such as a girder clamp or a heavy duty fixing such as a sleeve anchor or similar.
They can be linked using suitably rated steel rope or chain and shackles.
Safety note: Flying heavy equipment in public spaces is dangerous and should only be undertaken by suitably qualied and experienced
personnel using adequately rated equipment for the task.
