Martin Audio Torus T1230 – 30° Constant Curvature Array

Product Overview

The Martin Audio Torus T1230 is a passive 30° fixed angle constant curvature array loudspeaker optimised for short-to-medium throw commercial installations where wider vertical coverage is required than the 15° T1215 provides. Like its narrower counterpart, the T1230 fills the acoustic specification gap between point source speakers and full scalable line array systems, delivering optimised coverage, SPL, and cost efficiency for 15–30 metre throw applications. A 1x12" LF driver and 3x1.4" HF compression drivers with phase plug deliver authoritative output for both speech and music, while the Dynamic Horn Flare allows horizontal coverage to be adjusted between 60°, 90°, or 75° asymmetrical on site. AV integrators specifying for balconied auditoriums, tiered houses of worship, government halls, and multi-purpose rooms will find the T1230 covers audience geometry that demands a broader vertical pattern angle.

Product Description

The Martin Audio Torus T1230 complements the T1215 in the Torus constant curvature array speaker range, providing a 30° vertical dispersion pattern for deployments where the narrow 15° angle would fail to cover the full audience plane. This wider vertical pattern is particularly valuable in balconied venues, steeply raked auditoria, tiered seating configurations, and outdoor festival settings where a single cabinet position must cover an audience area with significant vertical depth. The T1230 shares the same driver complement as the T1215: a 1x12" LF driver for strong low-frequency output and three 1.4" HF compression drivers with a phase plug for high mid-band sensitivity and controlled high-frequency dispersion. The Dynamic Horn Flare provides the same on-site horizontal coverage adjustment between 60°, 90°, and 75° asymmetrical without tools, allowing a single cabinet SKU to serve rooms of varying widths. Coverage is optimised through Martin Audio DISPLAY 3 software and powered by the iKON amplifier range, keeping the T1230 within the same management ecosystem as the broader Martin Audio product line. Plug-and-play rigging hardware reduces installation complexity and commissioning time compared to full line array systems, while the system's point-of-differentiation over a conventional point source speaker remains the controlled, predictable constant curvature array pattern and its resistance to hot spots and dropouts across the audience. The T1230 is specified for fill positions in large line array systems, primary hangs in medium venues with tiered geometry, government civic spaces, houses of worship, corporate facilities, and multi-purpose rooms.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I specify the T1230 instead of the T1215?

The T1230 is specified when the audience geometry includes significant vertical depth — balconied auditoria, tiered seating, steeply raked floors, or outdoor settings where the 15° pattern of the T1215 would fail to reach listeners at the extreme vertical angles of the coverage zone.

What is the recommended throw range for the T1230?

Like the T1215, the T1230 is optimised for 15–30 metre throw applications. The difference between the models is vertical pattern angle, not throw distance.

How is horizontal coverage adjusted on the T1230?

The Dynamic Horn Flare is manually adjusted between 60°, 90°, and 75° asymmetrical on site, with no tools or cabinet exchange required.

What amplifier is required for the T1230?

The T1230 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 T1230 be used alongside Wavefront Precision line array enclosures?

Yes. Torus enclosures are commonly deployed as front fill, under-balcony fill, or centre cluster positions alongside WP-series line array hangs, managed within the same DISPLAY and iKON ecosystem.

What is the phase plug in the HF section and why does it matter?

The phase plug increases mid-band sensitivity and reduces distortion in the HF compression drivers at high output levels, improving clarity, intelligibility, and high-frequency extension at medium throw distances.

What warranty applies to the Martin Audio Torus T1230?
