However, it is the custom-designed Differential Dispersion horn, developed using Martin Audio's proprietary BEM tools, which is the system's greatest USP, he continues. "This yields a dispersion pattern which covers typical audience planes in a much more consistent manner than a conventional X by Y degree horn - in other words it delivers optimal near- to mid-field coverage."
To achieve this, the DD6 enclosure is loaded with a 90°-120° (H) x 60° (V) rotatable HF horn and direct-radiating 6.5" bass/mid driver with neodymium magnet and high linearity mechanical and motor system. This has the effect of improving throw towards the further limits of the coverage pattern, whilst reducing the output closer to the loudspeaker.
Another advantage of the DD6 is its adaptability.Tool-less horn orientation adjustment and cabinet design offer a choice of portrait, landscape, ceiling/surface mount and stage monitor deployment, while two comprehensive brackets provide adaptable suspension options.
