Martin Audio History 1971-2020 - Webinar

Those Martin Blackline are just amazing.

Those 215 bins and Phillishave tops are iconic, I’ve seen them at countless rave and free parties. Martin stuff is so legendary!

I stumbled over an auktion on a pair of Martin Audio VRS 1000 and dedicated mx4´s. I have them in my workshop and garage door facing my garden and yard. They sound amazing and are really loud at will still keeping the sound quality the same. I will never part with them.

Thanks for this. It filled in a lot of history for me that I didn't know about. I worked with Delicate on a tour in '87 and didn't fully know what we had been using!

WOW! I can't believe it's taken me this long to find this. I can't wait to watch it

Very interesting watch!

Great story! I remember touring bars in Canada in the late 70s with 4 x115, 2x 212 mids , 2xJBL radials and 2x bullet packs all driven with 4 HH V800 amps. Safe to say we had some of the best sound you could hear in bars!

At the 29min mark, the F2's at the Torhout-Werchter festival were all the F2's of EML, Ampco and BSE (Belgian Stage Equipment) combined, if I remember well. I loved the F2's, owned many used stacks (FSX+F2B+F2C) myself, purchased from Capital. Nice to see my old cabinets back again!

Thanks for this historic tour through the amazing progress this company has made. I really am an avid fan of Martin Audio. Over the years, I have worked with around 6 different brands of PA, MA is far the best sound. It's so warm & transparent, I don't find it metallic or harsh in anyway & never have done. I'm glad the WT3 got a mention; I have 4x of these cabs and I will never let these go, awesome sound for dance music, appreciated these were not their intention when designed. I would like to say also, even though I own some CDD Live cabs & they are great, I think the balance between the amount of passive & active boxes you have is just right, I would not like to see a future where all cabinets are active, as amplifier choice is very important. Thanks again & keep up the good work.

Was at Shea,there were no Vox anything. But there were about thirty EV columns splayed around the infield with a tilt back leg attached.

an OUTSTANDING history !! incredibly informative . . . a #MUSTWATCHTHIS

The Martin w bin 15 created such a huge snare sound…..line arrays until just recently could not deliver that punch….you can hear the snare just no sound pressure

Had x2 ..cx2 n bx2 as a small dj set up still sounds great till this day .. great vid 🙂👍

We used stacks of 215 with the shaver and top for techno parties in the start of '90 - they were really good at it

Remember a lot of Martin used in my local scene in the 80's in Wa. Local bands had the 2x15" cabs copied so every band had these.

That dire straits multi-output system is a very cool method. I use something similar as a system designer today.

Nice one Robin **

Different frequencies have a different phase response at a given distance regardless of arrival time - time alignment doesn't mean phase alignment.
