Martin Audio Launch New Stage Monitor Design

This high-performance monitor is designed for large-stage applications where maximum SPL’s are required. It features twin, high-specification 12in (300mm) low frequency drivers, a unique 6.5in (165mm) midrange device and a 1in (25mm) exit compression driver mounted on a differential dispersion horn. Differential dispersion technology increases the area over which a constant SPL and consistent frequency response is maintained at ear height, enabling the artist to move around more freely.

The LE1500 is a compact, high performance stage monitor combining high output and controlled dispersion with discreet, contemporary design. It features a high–specification 15in (380mm) low frequency drive unit and a 1.4in (35mm) exit compression driver mounted on a differential dispersion horn.

Finally, the Martin Audio LE1200 is an ultra-compact, high performance stage monitor which combines maximum enclosure volume with optimum presentation angle in a low profile, contemporary design. It features a high-specification 12in (300mm) low frequency drive unit and a 1.4in (35mm) exit compression driver mounted on a differential dispersion horn.

As with all the monitors, the rear curves of the cabinet are a single, extremely stiff, pressed and precisely machined beech laminate panel, and the hardwood front rail ensures the cabinet is extremely rigid, tough and acoustically inert. Left and right-handed versions are available to facilitate use in pairs.

The new monitors are best used with the DX1 controller to provide crossover, limiting and EQ functions. When operated in passive mode they may be used without a controller, but benefit from the EQ and limiting functions of the DX1 — this also ensures that both active and passive configurations will exhibit the same tonal balance when used together.
