Netherlands rental company Sound Events has announced a ‘significant’ expansion of its audio inventory through an investment in Martin Audio Torus and FlexPoint loudspeaker systems.
Based in Gasselternijveen, in the North East of the Netherlands, the company has been operating since 2004 and now has a strong presence in the music festival market and high-end corporate sectors. For owner Mark Staals, the transition to the latest Martin Audio technology was a logical progression following years of success with the brand’s legacy WT2 and W8LC compact line arrays.
‘Martin Audio is a brand that simply does what you expect of it. It is reliable, powerful, and has been at the top for years,’ he says. ‘For us, it was essential that a new investment would offer that same trusted sound, but with today’s technology.’
During a service visit to Martin Audio’s Dutch distributor, Ampco Flashlight Sales, Staals took the opportunity to test Martin’s latest systems. A showroom demonstration highlighted the output and coverage capabilities of the constant curvature Torus Series, which fitted Sound Events’ production requirements. ‘The Torus demo revealed exactly what we were looking for: a system that is both visually sleek and sonically superior,’ he says.
Torus T1215 and T1230 are compact, passive, two-way 12-inch loudspeakers engineered for medium-scale applications. With exceptional ease-of-use, scalability and deployment flexibility, they are designed to be used as array elements in vertical and horizontal constant curvature arrays of up to six enclosures. They can also be used singularly as point-source loudspeakers. ‘The combination of the Torus configuration and iKon amplification gives us the control we need for modern productions,’ Staals says.
Following an intensive evaluation process, the final inventory specification comprises Torus T1215 and T1230 enclosures, FlexPoint point-source loudspeakers, SX118 subwoofers, and iKon amplification.
In addition to the Torus systems, the company invested further in the Martin Audio portfolio with the addition of the FlexPoint Series to support its diverse range of productions.
‘With the addition of Torus and FlexPoint to their range, Sound Events is ready for the next phase: making even more impact with productions where sound quality is the absolute priority,’ says Martijn de Jong of Ampco Flashlight Sales.
