Description
The MartinLogan IC8‑AW New Installer Series In‑Ceiling All‑Weather Speakers are engineered to deliver powerful, high‑quality sound in spaces where traditional speakers simply won’t work—indoors or out.
Designed for maximum durability and consistent performance, the IC8‑AW speakers are built to withstand humidity, heat, and changing environmental conditions, making them ideal for bathrooms, patios, covered outdoor areas, kitchens, and pool rooms.
Whether installed inside a home or in a protected outdoor ceiling space, they provide clear, balanced audio with impressive presence.
Featuring an 8‑inch woofer paired with a precision tweeter, the IC8‑AW produces a soundstage that is full, smooth, and engaging.
Vocals remain clear, music sounds natural, and background listening stays enjoyable even at higher volumes—perfect for entertaining or everyday ambience.
Solutions Meet Performance
Manufactured to the highest standards of quality and performance, the new Installer Series by MartinLogan is a line of affordable, high-performance, ultra-low-profile custom installation in-ceiling and in-wall speakers.
Featuring titanium dome tweeters and mineral-filled polypropylene drivers, each model comes with a remarkably robust mounting-lock system and paintable micro-perf, bezel-free grilles for a nearly invisible installation. Two all-weather models extended usage to high humidity areas.
IP54 Certified All-Weather
The IC8-AW and IC3-AW are designed specifically for all-weather applications and feature numerous design considerations ideal for outdoor and other high-moisture applications, such as covered patios and bathrooms.
Each crossover has a conformal coating to maximize water-resistant properties and special assembly techniques ensure that all driver attachment points on the face of the speakers are completely sealed to remove the risk of moisture penetration.
Titanium Dome Tweeters and Poly Cone Woofers
Titanium dome tweeters used throughout the Installer Series are ferrofluid damped and cooled for smooth high-frequency performance with amazing clarity across a wide listening area.
Mineral-filled polypropylene cone bass/midrange drivers feature robust computer-optimized ferrite magnets and high-power motor structures to deliver detailed midrange performance and clean, extended bass response.
Micro-Perforated Grilles
Installer Series speakers feature ultra-low profile, paintable, micro-perforated grilles with no visible bezel for a near invisible integration into any wall or ceiling. A series of powerful magnets hidden inside the speaker quickly secure grilles into place, reducing the risk of warping or damage during installation.
To match modern aesthetics, optional square grilles are available for most in-ceiling models (excludes all-weather versions).
Precision Crossovers
& Spring-Loaded Binding Posts
Carefully hand-built using only the finest polyester capacitors and air-core coils, Installer Series crossovers employ MartinLogan’s proprietary Vojtko topology for vanishingly low distortion and seamless driver integration.
This precision-tuned network preserves even the most microscopic sonic nuances while handling the full dynamics of any source.
Robust Mounting-Lock System
A simple, yet robust mounting-lock system allows quick, trouble-free installation. Pocketed screw holes help hold the drill steady, making installation a snap. When not in use, mounting locks are held securely within a self-contained housing.
When moved into place, they couple the chassis firmly to the ceiling or wall, increasing the rigidity of surfaces. If ever removed, the locks retract and latch back in their housings.
