The XE stage monitor series comprises the XE300 and XE500 models, both delivering a balanced monitor sound with a defined coverage pattern that allows the artist freedom of movement, while reducing overlap with adjacent monitors.
Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology allows the artist to stand directly over the monitor or further back, without significant changes in SPL or tonal balance. It produces the optimal coverage pattern over a listening plane at head-height and helps to contain the sound within that region.
The Martin Audio concept was originally introduced with the brand's CDD-LIVE! Series of sound reinforcement and stage monitor products launched at Prolight Sound 2016. The full-range systems leverage the company’s patented Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology, combining the ‘point-source’ benefits of coaxial design with the consistent coverage of Differential Dispersion, to project sound evenly front-to-back while exhibiting wide horizontal coverage close to the speaker.
The now patented contour-molded static third waveguide increases the size of the horn mouth to maintain pattern control downwards and avoid spill outside the desired coverage area. Its rolled contour reduces diffraction and further improves pattern consistency at the lower end of the HF passband.
"Even though XE monitors were introduced in 2017, it always takes time to secure a patent, but we are delighted that our continuing innovation has once again been recognized and I couldn’t be prouder of our R&D team,” says Dom Harter, Martin Audio managing director.
