*Martin Audio continues to specify a crest factor of 2 with 6dB between peak and continuous which best mirrors real-world performance. Simply add a further 6dB for comparison with manufacturers quoting a crest factor of 4 ie. 12dB between continuous and peak. |
For applications that typically require a throw between 15-30m (50-100ft), a full-blown line array is not always practical, optimal or affordable. Conversely, a point source solution may not be sufficient in coverage and SPL.
TORUS T1215 is a constant curvature array, designed to fill that gap perfectly, combining optimised coverage, SPL and cost efficiency.
T1215 offers a narrow fixed vertical pattern of 15° with a flexible horizontal pattern that can be manually adjusted between 90° and 60° or 75° (asymmetrical) via the Dynamic Horn Flare™.

TORUS T1215 is a passive, two-way loudspeaker engineered for medium-scale applications which do not call for the longer throw capabilities of a line array. With exceptional ease-of-use, scalability and deployment flexibility, it is designed to be used as an array element in vertical and horizontal constant curvature arrays of up to six enclosures. It can also be used singularly as a point-source loudspeaker.
Combining superb sonic performance and defined coverage in a compact enclosure, the T1215 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.
T1215 features 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.
Its durable plywood is enclosure finished in hardwearing textured PU paint and incorporates 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 support horizontal array configurations of up to 180° with a flying frame that can support up to 6 cabinets in vertical orientation.
T1215 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 and T1215 also feature a LED indicator that can be illuminated via VU-NET software to identify its location on the network. With DISPLAY 3 software, TORUS systems can be modelled in 3D with optimising filters to deliver consistent and defined coverage.
T1215 can be supplemented by Martin Audio SX subwoofers and is designed to integrate mechanically with the SXCF118 cardioid subwoofer in flown and groundstack configurations.
T1215 is available as standard in black (T1215B) or white (T1215W).
