Martin Audio has announced its FlexPoint line of five loudspeaker models, targeting the premier rental market.
FlexPoint systems promise ‘the very highest quality sound to match the expectations of prestige venues and top-flight touring artists’, from a two-way configuration that aims to reduce running costs and amplifier count. All five models offer highly flexible deployment, addressing a range of professional applications, including live sound reinforcement, theatre sound, corporate A/V, distributed sound systems and immersive environments.
Designed around coaxial point source technology, FlexPoint systems deliver more consistent response off-axis than traditional two-way systems. Additionally, their dispersion uses a two-stage waveguide within the magnet structure to maintain wide constant horizontal coverage out to very high frequencies, while the perimeter of the cone acts as the horn mouth, extending pattern control to a lower frequency. Drivers can also be rotated without the need for any tools increasing their deployment options and ease of use out on the road.
In keeping with the name, FlexPoint systems support a flexible electronics package. For the optimum sound performance, Martin Audio iKon amplifiers with onboard DSP are recommended. However, and primarily for larger installations, Martin Audio VIA amplifiers in conjunction with a DX4.0 system controller are compatible. Then, for smaller installations using FP4, FP6, and FP8, a combination of VIA amplifiers and the newly announced DX0.4 or DX0.6 controller are a cost-effective option. The DX0.4 is a two-input, four-output controller, while the DX0.6 offers two inputs and six-outputs.
“Alongside Wavefront Precision optimised line arrays and Torus constant curvature arrays, the FlexPoint series completes a trio of premium loudspeaker categories, our finest live sound offering in the company’s history, delivering the Martin Audio signature sound experience for everything from an intimate gig to the largest of festivals,’ says Martin Audio MD, Dom Harter.
FlexPoint Systems can be used in conjunction with SX series subwoofers to extend low-frequency performance.
