I was on hand for Will Harris on Martin USA testing/tuning a new Torus installation in Easthampton, NY. Out-of-the-box the rig sounded world-class (the anti-VRX, if permitted).

Interesting feature: though not a self-powered box, the control software permitted Will to "bump" each Torus amp zone with an ultrasonic tone and an orange LED behind the cabinet grille allowed for identification/confirmation of the device. Neat. Almost like pilot tone confirmation with RF devices.

BTW- No. I do not sell Martin..

If they aren't self powered what is in the box to light up an LED ? An LED is a diode after all, not something I'd want across my speaker lines.

I am the same way: Why introduce it?  Also, much about Class D amps regards the UHF filtering, so very counter-practice.

OTOH- The rig was very smooth and integrated, on and off axis. Hard to make sound bad, even at extremes.

What was the box count? Was it a mixture of the 15 and 30 degree vertical boxes?

3 x 15 degrees over 1 x 30 downfill. All hung beneath their matching cardioid sub. 2 2x18 Martin subs/side on deck. Truly sounded as a smooth, integrated system, not merely an arrangement of components.
