Legendary live venue Antiknock introduces Martin Audio TORUS system
LightSoundJournal.com: Since opening in 1985, Antiknock has become a hall of fame for punk and hardcore bands, and many of today’s major artists originally set down their roots there. Now the venue, situated in the burgeoning Shinjuku district of Tokyo, has become the first in Japan to install Martin Audio’s new TORUS constant curvature array.

This entire product and venue relationship is absolutely fascinating. THe fact that the Torus system seems like it was almost made specifically for the Antiknock really casts a new light on what these kinds of relationships and creation processes can be like. The system itself seems really interesting especially for smaller and or medium sized venues like the Antiknock that either end up being far too loud or far too faint depending on the system that is available to the venue. The fact that a sound system can help such a well known and well established through such a tough time as this after the, hopefully, last peak of the pandemic. It is especially interesting in that it seems to have some sort of previs software like Augment3d for lighting systems which I have never heard about in sound before, including the interesting fact that one could automate the fixtures to adjust the dispersion of sound.
