Martin Torus Constant-Curvature Array
Martin Audio has introduced Torus , its first constant-curvature array .
For applications that typically require a throw between 15 to 30 m , a full line array is not always practical , optimal , or affordable . Conversely , a point source solution may not be sufficient in coverage and SPL . The Torus array is a constant curvature array designed to fill that gap , combining optimized coverage , SPL profile , and cost efficiency .
Each Torus cabinet is designed for a flexible horizontal dispersion pattern , which can be manually adjusted between 90 , 60 , or 75 degrees ( asymmetrical ) via Martin Audio ’ s Dynamic Horn Flare . This moves and locks the waveguide , but also adjusts the horn mouth , including the low diffraction termination into the baffle , to ensure correct geometry and optimal performance in each of those settings . The Dynamic Horn Flare is moved easily by a rotating mechanism accessible from the front grille . A vertical pattern of either 15 or 30 degrees is achieved via two separate cabinet types : T1215 and T1230 . These cabinets can also be combined to fit venue and coverage requirements . The Torus array is also the first product to take full advantage of Display 3 , Martin Audio ’ s new prediction and optimization software .

Pulsar Audio 1178 - FET Compressor Plug-In
Pulsar Audio has released the 1178 - FET Compressor plug-in . The original UREI 1178 is a now rare , iconic , and expensive unit in recording studio mythos . It could provide a cleaner and more versatile sound than its older brother , the 1176 . The 1178 has been used by many legendary producers , including Chris Lord-Alge , Bob Clearmountain , Yvan Bing , Nigel Godrich , and many more .
Pulsar ’ s software recreates the original hardware in great detail to achieve its tonal colour and compression character . But they ’ ve also taken the Pulsar 1178 further , adding a number of features one would expect from a modern , versatile tool , including : a full sidechain EQ ; four types of saturation for more distinctive tone ; comprehensive digital metering to control the dynamics ; mid-side processing ; look-ahead and look behind options ; presets from world-class sound engineers ; external side-chaining ; smart and resizable graphic interface ; and up to eight-times oversampling .
