Accessories
Wall Bracket
The XP12 can be wall mounted using the standard WB10/12B bracket from Martin Audio. This is a two-part bracket enabling the wall
section to be fitted at first fix stage when cables are run. The cabinet half can be fitted to the loudspeaker in advance of arriving at site
so that final installation is just a case of joining the two halves of the bracket and adjusting the position for the coverage required and
connecting the cable. The part number is as follows:
XP12 WB10/12
Eye Bolts
All BlacklineX Powered loudspeakers have threaded inserts available for flown applications in fixed installations. Both full range cabinets
have M8 inserts and the XP118 has M10 inserts. The inserts can be used for fitting bespoke flying hardware or for flying using eye bolts.
These must be forged steel shouldered types certified with a safe working load in excess of the cabinet weight.
Do NOT be tempted to use cheaper formed steel types commonly available from DIY stores as they are unsafe for flying heavy speaker
cabinets.
Correctly rated shouldered eye bolts are available from Martin Audio as an optional accessory. Part numbers are as follows:
M8 (XP12, XP15) HTK00003
M10 (XP118) HTK00004
Pole Mount
BlacklineX Powered loudspeakers have integral pole mount "top hat" fittings. These are fitted to the base of all full range speakers; XP12
and XP15, and on the top of the XP118. The fittings all use the standard 35mm diameter so they can be used with any regular speaker
stand or accessory. The fitting in the subwoofers allows use of a mounting pole to elevate one of the full range cabinets on top of the sub
without the need for a bully and unsightly tripod stands. Martin Audio also make a distance pole specifically for use with the BlacklineX
Powered range. This will support any of the full range cabinets at the optimum height above an XP118. The part number is as follows:
Pole HTKCT04

Safety
Instructions
It is important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner. Please take some time to review the following points concerning safe
use of BlacklineX Powered loudspeaker systems.
Professional loudspeakers are capable of producing extremely high sound levels and should be used with care. Hearing loss is cumulative
and can result from levels above 90dB if people are exposed for a long period. Never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high level.
Pole or Stand Mounting
BlacklineX Powered full-range loudspeakers incorporate pole mounting (“top hat”) sockets so that they may be pole or stand mounted.
When using poles or stands, the following precautions are advised:
Ensure that the stand will support the weight of the loudspeaker by checking the stand manufacturers rating. (See the Section 10 –
Technical Specifications - for individual BlacklineX Powered weights and dimensions)
Make sure that the stand is placed on a level surface and that its legs are fully extended.
Do not place more than one loudspeaker on each stand.
Run cables so that they do not present a trip hazard which could pull the loudspeaker over.
When used outdoors in the wind, it may be necessary to add some weight to the base of the stand.
When using a pole mount with a sub-bass system, observe similar precautions.
Stacking
Ensure that the floor or stage is level and solid.
Do not stack loudspeakers too high outdoors where winds could topple the stack.
Be aware that loudspeakers producing high-power levels can move or creep. To avoid this, place friction material between the floor and
loudspeaker and between each loudspeaker or use strapping to secure the stack.
Rigging and Suspension
WARNING: Suspending the system should only be done by qualified personnel following safe rigging practices. Secure fixings to the
building structure are vital. Seek help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in any doubt.
BlacklineX Powered Series enclosures are designed for portable applications but can be suspended singly by means of the threaded inserts
provided. Enclosures are fitted internally with steel corner reinforcement brackets, where necessary, to ensure that each cabinet is strong
enough to be hung from its top.
Never suspend one enclosure from another to form an array or cluster using these fittings.
The common practice of using commercially available eye bolts for suspension should only be undertaken with great caution. Only
forged shoulder eye bolts should be considered, and it is important that the thread length is at least 30mm.
Formed eye bolts i.e. those which are formed from a steel rod bent into an eye are not recommended.
Eye bolts are strongest along the thread axis. Angling the enclosure will result in an angle pull and it is important to use eye bolts that
are safe in these circumstances.

Connections
Power Connection
This is a standard 3-prong IEC power connector. Connect the detachable power cord (included in the packaging with the loudspeaker) to
the power receptacle and plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet.
Make sure that the AC power is matched to the AC power indicated on the rear panel (below the IEC receptacle)
Disconnecting the plug’s ground pin is dangerous. DOT NOT disconnect.
XLR and 1/4" Combo Inputs
Both input channels may accept a balanced mic signal using an XLR connector. They are wired as follows, according to standards specified
by the AES (Audio Engineering Society).
XLR Balanced Wiring:
Pin 1 = Shield (ground)
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
In addition to accepting a balanced mic signal using an XLR connector, these input channels may also accept 1/4" line-level signals driven
by balanced or unbalanced sources.
Additionally, both input channels may accept Hi-Z sources (such as guitars) via the 1/4" input without the need for a separate DI box.
To connect balanced lines to these inputs, use a 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) plug. “TRS” stands for Tip-Ring-Sleeve, the three connection
points available on a stereo 1/4" or balanced phone jack or plug. TRS jacks and plugs are used for balanced signals and are wired as follows:
1/4" TRS Balanced Mono Wiring:
Sleeve = Shield
Tip = Hot (+)
Ring = Cold (–)
To connect unbalanced lines to these inputs, use a 1/4" mono (TS) phone plug, wired as follows:
1/4" TS Unbalanced Mono Wiring:
Sleeve = Shield
Tip = Hot (+)
Mix Out
This is a male XLR-type connector that produces the mix of the three input channels determined by the level and EQ settings entered. Use
it to daisy-chain several BlacklineX Powered loudspeakers together off the same signal source(s).
They are wired as follows, according to standards specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):
Balanced XLR Output Connector:
Pin 1 – Shield (ground)
Pin 2 – Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 – Negative (– or cold)

Rear Panel Controls
Power Switch
Press the bottom of this rocker switch inwards to turn on the loudspeaker. Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn off the
loudspeaker.
As a general guide, the mixer (or other signal source) should be turned on first, subwoofers next and loudspeakers last. As such, the
loudspeakers should also be turned off first, followed by the subwoofers, then the mixer. This will reduce the possibility of any turn-on or
turn-off thumps and other noises generated by any upstream equipment from coming out of the loudspeakers.
LCD Display
This modern, high-resolution, all-colour TFT LCD display is one of the most vital features of the BlacklineX Powered loudspeakers. It
displays loudspeaker information including (but not limited to) levels, EQ, selected voicing, pairing the speakers and a Bluetooth device,
settings, lock / unlock status and other parameters. This is simply for control and monitoring locally at the loudspeaker.
Speaker Control
This push-button rotary encoder allows you to access functions such as channel and master level control and metering, application specific
voicings & EQ, Bluetooth configuration, set-up functions, and product information. See the chapter on system set up.

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE V1.1
BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE
Linking
The loudspeaker may also be linked to a second loudspeaker. This allows you to stream audio simultaneously to a pair of speakers either in
stereo or “zoned” with a mono signal, useful if for example you need to send a signal to a subwoofer and mid-top combination or to a pair
of loudspeakers in different locations.
The steps to link loudspeakers is quite similar to that of pairing a device as follows:
1. Select Connect and push the speaker control encoder.
2. The text NOT LINKED will change to SEARCHING... and Connect will change to Cancel.
3. From here, turn the other loudspeakers on and follow these same steps to link, or push the speaker control encoder to cancel the
action.
4. The text SEARCHING... will change to PRIMARY on one loudspeaker and SECONDARY on the other. Cancel will also change to
Disconnect. From here select a Bluetooth mode (see below) or push the speaker control encoder to disconnect.
There are two modes available when two loudspeakers are linked; Stereo and Zone. The stereo setting is the default two loudspeaker set-
up, ideal for applications such as a party, DJ, etc., where a device is paired and streaming music in stereo. The main level controls both
loudspeakers.
If the Bluetooth mode is set to stereo, you may select which loudspeaker is located on the left and which is on the right. Simply rotate the
speaker control encoder so that channel is illuminated, then push the button to enter and edit. Rotate to illuminate your choice – left or
right – then push the button to select.
The zone mode setting is your optional loudspeaker setup, ideal for when the loudspeakers are placed in different locations and allows for
separate main level controls. BlacklineX Powered loudspeakers in zone mode setting will receive a mono-summed signal.
Illuminating and selecting the left-facing arrow returns you to the Settings screen.

Settings
This is where to configure a number of the BlacklineX Powered options. To change a setting, you will just need to rotate the speaker control
encoder until the configuration you desire to change is illuminated, then push to select it. Choices are as follows:
Screensaver
This allows you to select the behavior of the LCD screen when nothing has been adjusted for 30 seconds. There are three options:
High - The LCD screen remains at full brightness
Low - The screen dims
Off - The screen turns off. It will turn back on immediately when the encoder is adjusted or pressed
Home Screen
This allows you to select either the mixer screen or the settings menu as the default to which the LCD window will return following 30
seconds of inactivity. The mixer screen is the default.
Auto Con
Allows a previously paired Bluetooth device to auto reconnect if both the device and speaker are powered on and in range. When illuminated,
push the speaker control encoder to select between on or off.
Auto Link BT
Allows two previously paired loudspeakers to automatically re-link if both are powered on and in range. When illuminated, push the speaker
control encoder to select between on or off.
About
This screen displays details including the device, DSP and Bluetooth firmware versions and the unique device ID.
Restore
Restores all parameters back to their default. This is a permanent reset with no undo, so a confirmation dialog helps prevent accidentally
restoring defaults and losing any custom settings.
Illuminating and selecting the left-facing arrow at the bottom of the screen returns you to the previous screen.
Lock
This is where to lock and unlock the interface with a 4-digit numeric password. Push the speaker control encoder to enter lock mode. From
here, rotate the speaker control encoder until the first number you desire is illuminated and press to select. Follow the same procedure for
the next three numbers. Once four numbers have been selected LOCK will be highlighted.
You can select Del which will delete the last entered number, or LOCK which will lock the DSP. No further changes may be made to any
parameters. Rotating the encoder will have no effect, clicking the encoder switch will take you directly to the lock screen where entering
the correct 4 digits will give you the option to unlock the speaker.
Emergency Unlock
If you set up a 4-digit lock code and forget the passcode, please contact your vendor for support.
