A constant-curvature array combining point-source flexibility with line-array control — for mid-throw applications in auditoria, churches, theatres and live venues.
Awards: Sound & Video Contractor — Best in Market 2021 · Mix — Best of Show, ISE 2023
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.
Where to Buy or RentIts flexible deployment makes TORUS a top product. From just a single cabinet, flown, pole mounted or stacked, to a constant curvature line array, it does it all with impressive performance.
I needed the ability to have a speaker system that delivered precise coverage. TORUS delivered. Coupled with SXCF118 it is both clean and powerful.
TORUS embodies versatility, power, and an exceptional sound quality, ideal for meeting the varied needs of our diverse customer base.
TORUS is a solid, well-designed speaker that perfectly fills that space where a point source is not quite enough, and a line array is too much. A nice addition to the toolbox. Adjustable horizontal coverage and great rigging options are a bonus.
TORUS is very responsive, and I’m impressed with the detail. The clarity of low-level details in fx tails is excellent and I can hear even the most subtle adjustments in EQ and dynamics. We’re especially pleased with the tightness of the low-mids because we used to struggle with our old rig.
TORUS provides fantastic audio quality and a versatile installation proposition. Combined with SX subwoofers it offers a full and powerful system for bars, clubs and leisure. Setup is easy via Vu-Net and takes a lot less time than a line array. We’ve had great success with TORUS!
It’s good - small, flexible, mighty and pretty much booked out for the whole summer!
This is a well-rounded package that offers users all the necessary tools at a fair price.
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.
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.
