Tech+ Acquires Major Martin Audio Inventory In Malta

Maltese rental company Tech+ has acquired a substantial inventory of Martin Audio's premier Wavefront Precision line array, along with the popular TORUS and FlexPoint enclosures, in time to service a new techno festival on the island recently.

The inventory was provided by Futuretech, Martin Audio's territorial distributor.
Run by Gabriel Mizzi, Tech+ had been able to field hangs of eight WPC on each side of XXL Techno’s beachfront stage at Little Armier Bay. This was one of two principal locations for the event (the other being the National Park in Ta’Qali) while others were dotted around the island.

While the WPC was powered by Martin Audio iKON iK42 Dante amplifiers in two-box resolution, eight SXH218, driven in bridge mode for extra output, created the sub bass rumble necessary for such an event. Additional pairs of FlexPoint FP12 provided frontfill and rearfill duties—the latter pointed at the small audience area behind the DJ, 'boiler-room' style. Four TORUS T1215 stacked in four SX118 subs then took over, providing monitoring on each side of the stage.

Outside the speakers themselves, the Tech+ team also purchased Martin Audio carts (for all 16 WPC, four per cart) and flight cases (for the TORUS boxes, as well as iK42 racks and other hardware), flying hardware for the WPC, covers for all the subwoofers and all cabling necessary to run the system.

Hence between 2,000-3,000 dance aficionados were able to bask in this superior sound throughout the weekend.

Gabriel Mizzi is no stranger to Martin Audio technology, having carried out installations with the smaller CDD and Blackline series; however, this represents a major step up. Confirmed Futuretech MD, Stefan Farrugia: "We worked hard to get the equipment delivered in time for the XXL event, and although we have other companies on the island who hire Martin Audio, Tech+ is the only one operating at this level of inventory."
