Martin Audio Torus T1215 – 15° Constant Curvature Array

Product Overview

The Martin Audio Torus T1215 is a passive 15° fixed angle constant curvature array loudspeaker designed for short-to-medium throw commercial installations and live sound reinforcement applications where a full line array system is impractical and a point source speaker lacks sufficient coverage control or SPL. The T1215 fills this specification gap with a 1x12" LF driver and 3x1.4" HF drivers in a constant curvature array format optimised for 15–30 metre throw distances. Its narrow 15° vertical dispersion pattern controls sound energy precisely onto the audience plane, while the adjustable Dynamic Horn Flare provides flexible horizontal coverage without cabinet exchange. AV system designers specifying for auditoriums, government facilities, houses of worship, and multi-purpose venues will find the T1215 a cost-effective and acoustically capable alternative to larger line array systems in medium-scale applications.

Product Description

The Martin Audio Torus series occupies a clearly defined position in the commercial AV speaker hierarchy: it is engineered for applications where a short-to-medium throw of 15–30 metres is required, but neither a full line array system nor a conventional point source speaker is the optimal solution. The T1215 achieves this through a constant curvature array cabinet design, which maintains predictable pattern control and even SPL distribution across the throw distance without the complexity and cost of a scalable line array system. The 1x12" LF driver provides authoritative low-frequency output for music reproduction and high-impact speech reinforcement, while three 1.4" HF compression drivers with a phase plug deliver high sensitivity, extended high-frequency response, and controlled horizontal dispersion. The 15° fixed vertical angle produces a narrow vertical pattern that concentrates output onto the audience plane and minimises energy reaching reverberant surfaces above and behind the listener. Horizontal coverage is selectable via the Dynamic Horn Flare, which can be manually adjusted between 60°, 90°, or 75° asymmetrical without tools, allowing a single cabinet SKU to be adapted to different room widths and audience geometries on site. The system is optimised through Martin Audio DISPLAY 3 software and powered by the iKON amplifier range, enabling DSP control and system-level integration within the broader Martin Audio ecosystem. The plug-and-play approach to rigging and quick-setup hardware reduces installation time and labour cost compared to conventional line array deployment. T1215 systems are deployed as primary hangs in auditoriums, fills in larger line array systems, government and civic facilities, houses of worship with moderate to large seating capacities, multi-purpose rooms, and corporate or broadcast environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a constant curvature array and how does it differ from a line array?

A constant curvature array is a fixed-geometry multi-driver cabinet with a defined vertical pattern angle, as opposed to a scalable line array where splay angles and array length are adjusted per deployment. Constant curvature arrays are simpler to specify and deploy, and are optimised for specific throw ranges rather than the full scalability of a Wavefront Precision line array system.

What is the recommended throw distance for the T1215?

The T1215 is designed for applications with a 15–30 metre throw, matching the narrow 15° vertical angle to the geometry of medium-scale auditoriums, halls, and houses of worship.

How is horizontal coverage adjusted on the T1215?

The Dynamic Horn Flare can be manually adjusted on site between 60°, 90°, and 75° asymmetrical, allowing a single cabinet to adapt to different room widths and audience configurations without tools or cabinet exchange.

What amplifier is required for the Torus T1215?

The T1215 is a passive enclosure powered by external amplification. Martin Audio's iKON amplifier series is specified for full system integration, DSP control, and DISPLAY 3 software compatibility.

Can the T1215 be integrated with a larger Wavefront Precision line array system?

Yes. Torus cabinets can be deployed as fill or cluster speakers alongside WP-series line array hangs, managed within the same DISPLAY and iKON ecosystem for consistent system-level DSP control.

What is the advantage of the phase plug in the HF drivers?

The phase plug increases mid-band sensitivity and reduces HF compression driver distortion at high output levels, contributing to improved clarity and intelligibility at the medium throw distances the T1215 is designed for.
