For short and medium-throw applications of typically 15-30m (50-100ft), a full-blown line array is not always practical, optimal or affordable. Conversely, a point-source solution may not be able to achieve sufficient coverage with the SPL required.
TORUS constant curvature arrays are designed to fill that gap perfectly.
However, it is much more than just another constant curvature array. TORUS was in development for three years in an exhaustive bid to further the acoustic concept and performance achievable.
Typically, constant curvature arrays have adjustable horizontal dispersion but their performance can vary considerably in terms of tonality and effectiveness of coverage when different dispersions are selected.
Equally, many lack sufficient sensitivity in the mid-band frequency, critically important for voice projection and clarity.
They also can suffer from comb filtering.
TORUS fundamentally addresses these areas and more.
Vertical dispersion patterns of either 15° or 30° are achieved via two separate enclosure types — the narrow coverage T1215 and the wider coverage T1230. These can also be combined within an array to fit coverage requirements.
Each TORUS 12 enclosure has a horizontal dispersion pattern which can be manually adjusted between 90° and 60° or 75° (asymmetrical) via the unique Dynamic Horn Flare™. This moves and locks the waveguide in position and adjusts the horn mouth, including the low diffraction termination into the baffle, to ensure correct geometry and optimal performance for each dispersion setting. The Dynamic Horn Flare is moved by a rotating mechanism accessible from the front grille, while leaving the grille design to be both smart and fully protective of the drivers within.
Both systems feature a phase plug mounted in front of a 12” neodymium driver to increase mid-band sensitivity. In addition, three 1” exit, 1.4” voice coil high temperature polymer dome neodymium compression drivers deliver greater high frequency extension with low distortion and better transient response. This combination ensures Martin Audio’s signature sonic performance is not compromised even when driven at higher SPL.
T820 combines impressive output capability, superb sonic performance and a defined 100° by 20° coverage pattern from a very compact enclosure.
Again, a phase plug is mounted in front of an 8” neodymium driver to increase midband sensitivity while two 1” exit, 1.4” voice coil high temperature polymer dome neodymium compression drivers ensure sonic performance is not compromised even when driven at higher SPL.
TORUS feature plywood cabinets in hardwearing PU paint and incorporate two pocket handles for easy installation and deployment, as well as fixings for pole-mounting.
The integrated rigging is suitable for install and touring applications and supports horizontal array configurations of up to 180° with a flying frame that can support up to 6 cabinets in vertical orientation.
All this and finished off with a fully fitting grille, leaving no exposed parts, enabling a premium yet discreet look.
TORUS is available as standard in black or white.
With DISPLAY 3 software, TORUS systems can be modelled in 3D with optimising filters to deliver consistent and defined coverage.
TORUS feature two NL4 connectors with passive configuration using pins 1+ 1- or 2+ 2- selected via rear-mounted switch. Systems are powered by Martin Audio iKON amplifiers, which support VU-NET control software and Dante® integration.
TORUS also feature a LED indicator that can be illuminated via VU-NET software to identify its location on the network.
A vertical pattern of either 15° or 30° is achieved via two separate cabinet types: T1215 and T1230, respectively. These cabinets can also be combined to fit venue and coverage requirements.
TORUS features a phase plug mounted in front of the 12” neodymium driver to increase mid-band sensitivity. Along with three 1.4” HF Polymer dome neodymium compression drivers, the sonic performance is not compromised even when driven at higher SPL.
TORUS is the first product to take advantage of DISPLAY 3 and can therefore be modelled in 3D and optimised accordingly, allowing different box resolutions as well as automatically optimising filtering to deliver consistent and defined coverage.
The plywood cabinets are finished in hardwearing Warnex paint with well positioned handles for easy installation and deployment.
The integrated rigging is suitable for install and touring applications and support horizontal array configurations of up to 180° with a flying frame that can support up to 6 cabinets in vertical orientation. The cabinets also feature a fixing for an external pole-mount accessory, increasing the flexibility to the max.
