ADORN USER GUIDE ADORN On-wall Introduction ADORN On-wall Thank you for purchasing a Martin Audio ADORN series system. ADORN was launched to meet the demand for ultra-compact, discreet, easy to deploy speaker for a wide range of commercial integration projects, meeting the price point often demanded whilst still delivering superior sound quality and the signature Martin Audio tonal characteristics.
ADORN USER GUIDE ADORN On-wall Overview A40/A40T The A40 is a two-way passive speaker with an elegant design that is perfect for architectural interiors that require high-fidelity sound from an unobtrusive, ultra-compact enclosure. Comprising a 4” (100mm) LF driver and a 0.75” (19mm) silk-dome HF driver on a 110° x 80° horn, it handles 40W AES, 160W peak and can produce 109dB peak output at 1 metre.
ADORN USER GUIDE Accessories AIPKIT - Weatherised connector cover The cover is fitted to the rear of any of the wall-mount systems. It allows cable entry via a sealed gland to provide a weather resistant connection to enable the speakers to be used outdoors. Available in black (AIPKIT) and white (AIPKIT-W). Suitable for use with all ADORN on-wall models. Sold seperately. ASM10002 / ASM10001 - Wall bracket Allows wall-mounting of all ADORN models, featuring vertical and horizontal tilt and pan.
ADORN USER GUIDE ADORN On-wall System Requirements Low Impedance Systems The ADORN A40 and A55 are designed to be used in a low impedance system. The selector switch is located on the rear of the speaker on wall-mount models A40T and A55T and is on the baffle behind the grill on the ceiling and pendant products. A conventional power amplifier or mixer-amplifier designed for use with low impedance loads must be used.
ADORN USER GUIDE ADORN On-wall Deployment Wall-mounting The ADORN on-wall loudspeakers are supplied with a bracket to ensure trouble free installation. The bracket is a three-part design which allows adjustment in both horizontal and vertical planes. The first stage is to disassemble the bracket so that the cabinet half can be fitted to the speaker and the wall section attached to the wall. A 4mm Allen key is required.
ADORN USER GUIDE Fit the cabinet half of the bracket to the speaker using the four screws in the centre of the rear of the cabinet. The cabinet can be fitted to the wall by linking the two halves of the bracket using the M4 Allen head bolt. Ceiling-mounting An alternative option is to ceiling mount the ADORN on-wall speakers using the optional ceiling bracket, part number CDDCB5. Fit the cabinet half of the bracket to the speaker using the four screws in the centre of the rear of the cabinet.
ADORN USER GUIDE Fit the wall part of the bracket to the ceiling bracket (CDDCB5) with the fastenings supplied. Connect the two assemblies together using the M6 x 60 supplied with we wall bracket. This configuration will give you tilt adjust only. If “pan & tilt” adjustment is needed repeat the above process with the pan and tilt coupler included.

ADORN USER GUIDE ADORN Ceiling Introduction ADORN Ceiling Thank you for purchasing a Martin Audio ADORN series system. ADORN was launched to meet the demand for ultra-compact, discreet, easy to deploy speaker for a wide range of commercial integration projects, meeting the price point often demanded whilst still delivering superior sound quality and the signature Martin Audio tonal characteristics.
ADORN USER GUIDE ADORN Ceiling Overview ACS-40TS Comprising a 4” (100mm) LF driver and a 0.75” (19mm) silk-dome tweeter, the ACS-40TS produces 108dB peak output at 1 metre and has a high-fidelity sonic character ideal for both music and speech reproduction. Its ported design delivers strong bass that extends down to 73 Hz.
ADORN USER GUIDE Accessories C bracket Appropriately sized support ring for ACS-40TS, ACS-55TS and ACS-55T. Supplied with product. Tile rails Support rails for suspended ceiling. Supplied with product. CK3 3m suspension cable accessory for ACP-55T and ACP-55T-W. Sold seperately. ADORN USER GUIDE V1.3 Copyright © 2022 Martin Audio Ltd.
ADORN USER GUIDE ADORN Ceiling System Requirements Low Impedance Systems All models can be used in a low impedance system by selecting the 16Ω position on the rotary switch, located behind the grille. A conventional power amplifier designed for use with low impedance loads must be used. We recommend an amplifier that can deliver the full peak power rating without risk of clipping to ensure the best possible performance and to avoid damage.
ADORN USER GUIDE ADORN Ceiling Deployment Hole Cut-outs ADORN ACS-40TS 197mm (7.75”) diameter ADORN ACS-55TS, ACS-55T 222mm (8.74”) diameter Hole cut-out templates are supplied with each speaker. Suspended Ceilings The tile rails and C bracket are intended to be used with suspended/false ceilings. First, remove the ceiling tile and cut the required hole in the centre of the tile. Place the tie rails either side of the hole orientate as shown ensuring that the ends align with the edge of the tile.
ADORN USER GUIDE The bracket assembly can now be placed in the ceiling. The ends of the tile rail can be easily be re-shaped to fit onto the supporting frame for the ceiling. These simply hook on top of the ceiling frame; they are not fixed in position. The tile can now be replaced. This will inevitably mean lifting one side of the bracket, ensure that once the tile is back in position the frame is sitting on the ceiling frame and that the C-Bracket is accurately lined up with the hole.
ADORN USER GUIDE If a quantity of ceiling speakers are deployed in a line (corridor) the tweeter should be orientated so that an imaginary line between the woofer and tweeter points along the line of speakers. This will minimise phase issues at the crossover point that are inevitable in a 2-way speaker. The ceiling speakers are secured by tightening the mounting screws from the front baffle. The ACS-40TS has three mounting screws, the ACS-55TS and ACS-55T have four.
ADORN USER GUIDE ADORN Pendant Deployment ACP-55T The ACP-55T is designed to be suspended in free space from a single point. The mounting tab on the top of the enclosure is used to attach the speaker to the means of suspension, wire rope or similar. The fixings used to attach the speaker must be rated for flown applications and have a safe working load that exceeds the weight of the ACP-55T.
