Martin Audio unveils nine new products including Flexpoint series

In an online special event presentation, Martin Audio recently announced nine new products including the portable series, FlexPoint, primarily targeting the premier rental market.

FlexPoint series sets a new benchmark in performance and versatility for compact, standalone loudspeakers, says Martin.

Comprising five models, the FlexPoint series is said to cover a range of professional applications, from live sound reinforcement, theatre sound and corporate AV to distributed sound systems and immersive environments.

Coaxial point source technology lies at the heart of FlexPoint systems, delivering smoother and more consistent response off-axis than traditional two-way systems. With Flexpoint have also done something similar to what they did with CDD series in 2015, in that the cone includes add-ons that provide a horn of sorts that will reportedly provide constant horizontal coverage out to very high frequencies (while keeping vertical coverage the same), while the perimeter of the cone acts as the horn mouth, enabling pattern control to a lower frequency (compared to a coaxial with a horn in front of the cone). Drivers can also be rotated (hence the 'horn' part of the cone will apply to the vertical axis) without the need for any tools increasing their deployment options and ease of use out on the road.

FlexPoint Systems can be used in conjunction with SX series subwoofers to extend low-frequency performance, and it was this range that also saw two new additions announced. The SX115 is a single 15” subwoofer and the SX215 is a double 15” subwoofer, both models allowing for pole-mounting of a FlexPoint system. This now means that the SX series comprises a single and double 10”, 12”, 15” and 18” as well as a cardioid 15” and 18” and the subwoofer performance of the Hybrid® horn/reflex loaded SXH218.


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 utilising 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 2-input, 4-output controller, while the DX0.6 is 2-input, 6-output.

All nine products will start shipping no later than June, but some products will be available earlier.

Dom Harter, managing director, summed up by saying, “Alongside Wavefront Precision optimised line arrays and TORUS constant curvature arrays, the exciting 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. The addition of the two new SX subwoofers also completes a full complement of low-end solutions, while the two new controllers provide additional flexibility and cost efficiency when required.”
