Martin Audio #1058

Martin Audio is a British manufacturer of professional loudspeaker systems for concert sound reinforcement and installations (live sound, touring, theaters, stadiums). It is a recognized world leader in optimized line array technology, in particular its MLA system.

The company was founded in 1971 by audio engineer Dave Martin in the United Kingdom with the goal of enabling rock bands to sound great in front of large audiences. Already in the 1970s, Martin Audio supplied touring systems for the era's supergroups — Pink Floyd, The Who, Supertramp. The company later gained international recognition thanks to its patented Multi-cellular Loudspeaker Array (MLA) technology. In December 2019, Martin Audio was acquired by the British company Focusrite plc (Focusrite Group) for approximately £39.2 million and became part of the group.
