Introducing the Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 Speaker

The Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 is a compact yet technologically advanced passive loudspeaker from British audio brand Martin Audio — known for its Wavefront Precision, TORUS and BlacklineX lines. The FlexPoint FP12 was developed to meet the needs of flexible deployment, easy configuration and consistent sound quality in any space.

Technical parameters of the product to consider:

• Speaker Configuration: The Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 is a passive 2-way loudspeaker that combines a 12-inch LF driver and a 3-inch HF driver, allowing for wide frequency reproduction from deep bass to bright highs without the need for an external active crossover.
• LF (Low Frequency) Driver: Using 12” (300mm) neodymium driver with 3” (75mm) voice coil, low distortion design for tight, tight and well-controlled bass.
• HF (High Frequency) Driver: 3” (75mm) titanium diaphragm combined with 1.4” (35mm) exit, providing detailed and sharp high range. Titanium material provides high sensitivity and outstanding heat resistance when operating at high intensity.
• Coaxial Point Source Design: The FP12 uses a coaxial point source to synchronize LF and HF, eliminating phase shift and creating a uniform sound field - ideal for stages or spaces with multiple listening positions.
• Dispersion Angle: 90° (horizontal) x 60° (vertical) – this is the standard coverage angle for auditorium or live performance environments, ensuring the sound spreads evenly, without any focal points or “dead spots”.
• Enclosure Design: The multi-angle enclosure allows for flexible installation in multiple positions: vertical, horizontal as a wedge monitor, or wall-mounted. The enclosure is made from birch plywood with a scratch-resistant Polyurea coating.
• Grille System: Quick-release powder coated steel mesh – convenient for maintenance, cleaning, and replacement of components.
• Prediction Software (3D Prediction Software): Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 is supported in Martin Audio DISPLAY 3 software, allowing 3D coverage simulation, SPL calculation, and spatial acoustic energy distribution, helping engineers optimize system design.
• Amplifier Compatibility: The FP12 works best when paired with a Martin Audio iKON or VIA series amplifier, which provides phase control, signal limiter, and optimized RMS/Peak power range.
• Performance & Sensitivity: The Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 delivers high output with an average SPL of >98dB, low THD distortion, and a linear frequency response – demonstrating the speaker's accuracy in real space.

Outstanding features of Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 Speaker

The Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 is a new generation coaxial point source loudspeaker, designed for high audio fidelity, precise directivity and absolute flexibility in deployment.

More than just a passive speaker, the Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 Wall-Mounted Speaker is also a professional audio tool that meets the needs of performances, presentations, conferences and fixed installations. Here are the notable highlights of the Martin Audio FP12 Speaker:

• Coaxial Point Source Technology: The FP12 uses coaxially placed LF and HF drivers to emit audio signals from a single point, creating absolute phase coherence. The result is a smooth sound field, with no “phase interference” between the bass and treble ranges, providing a natural and consistent sound experience at any listening position.
• Powerful output performance with low distortion: Thanks to a 12” (300mm) neodymium LF driver and a 3” (75mm) titanium HF diaphragm, the FP12 achieves high SPL while maintaining extremely low THD, ensuring detailed, accurate and smooth sound – key for professional performances or spaces that require crystal clear sound.
• Multipurpose Enclosure Design: The multi-angle cabinet design allows the Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 to operate flexibly in many different positions: vertical, horizontal, wedge monitor, front-fill, side-fill or fly array.
• Optimize performance with 3D Prediction software [DISPLAY 3]: The FP12 is fully compatible with Martin Audio Display 3 software, which allows for simulation of sound coverage, SPL measurements and 3D phase effects, helping sound engineers accurately position speakers prior to actual installation.
• Perfect match with Martin Audio iKON/VIA amplifier: The FP12 is optimized to work with iKON or VIA amplifiers, delivering high RMS power efficiency, large dynamic range and extremely low harmonic distortion, ensuring the highest level of audio signal quality.
• Quick-disassembly steel mesh – easy maintenance: The front panel of the Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 uses a thick, powder-coated steel grille with a quick-release mechanism, allowing operators to easily maintain, clean or replace components without the need for complicated tools.
• Aesthetic & durable design: The birch wood speaker cabinet is coated with scratch-resistant Polyurea paint, which not only increases aesthetics but also provides maximum protection in harsh environmental conditions (high humidity, continuous transportation). This is the strength that makes the FP12 suitable for touring, rental, and long-term fixed installation.
• Light weight – flexible installation: With the use of ultra-light neodymium magnets, Martin Audio FlexPoint FP12 weighs 20% less than ferrite speakers of the same power, making hanging, moving, or setting up in a line array system faster and safer.
