Series Overview

XP12

The XP12 fulﬁls the requirement for a compact system that can deliver high SPL — either as a stand-alone system or supplemented by

the XP118 subwoofer. Featuring a 12” (300mm) LF driver unit and a 1” (25mm) exit compression driver on a rotatable horn, its 80° x 50°

dispersion pattern is ideal for short to medium throw applications. The LF driver has a 2.5” (65mm) voice coil and a high BL motor, while

the HF compression driver utilises a 1.75” (44mm) polyimide diaphragm for extended high frequency response.

The XP12’s enclosure is constructed from birch/poplar plywood and coated in black textured paint. For easy removal, its steel grille is a

spring-ﬁt into the sides of the enclosure. The XP12 is ﬁtted with M8 inserts for a wall bracket and eyebolt suspension, plus a pole-mount

socket with a removable bung that maintains clean lines when the XP12 is used in install applications

XP15

The XP15 is a high powered two-way system designed for professional portable applications and installations that demand the ultimate in

sonic performance from a single enclosure. With an accurately-deﬁned 80° x 50° coverage pattern, it combines high output capability with

exceptional sonic performance and impact.

The XP15 features a 15” (380mm)/3” (75mm) voice coil LF drive unit, and a 1” (25mm) exit HF compression driver with a 1.75” (44mm)

polyimide diaphragm for extended high frequency response.

Its protective steel grille is a spring-ﬁt into the sides of the enclosure for easy access to rotate the HF horn. The symmetrical, multi-angle

enclosure is manufactured from birch/poplar ply and coated in textured black paint. The XP15 is ﬁtted with M8 inserts for a wall bracket

and eyebolt suspension, plus a pole-mount socket.

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:

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.

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE V1.1

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE

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)

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE V1.1

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE

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

Loudspeaker Control

The BlacklineX Powered system is set up using the speaker control section comprising the LCD screen and rotary encoder which incorporates

a push-button for selecting properties selected on the screen using the encoder

Power Up

On power up the screen brieﬂy displays the Martin Audio logo while the processor boots up:

It will revert to the mixer screen before returning to whichever screen has been selected as the default, as supplied this will be the mixer

screen.

Mixer Screen

Rotating the speaker control encoder will adjust whichever function is highlighted in white. In the mixer window this defaults to the

output level. Push the encoder once to revert to select mode, the highlighted output level will change from the ﬁgure in dB to Out, rotate

the encoder to scroll between the selections. There are options for channels 1, 2 and 3 which is the Bluetooth channel, EQ for all three

channels and the menu option bottom right which takes you to the second level. For example, select channel 1 (Ch1).

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE V1.1

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE

Press the encoder to enter edit mode, the Ch1 changes to the level in dB:

This can be adjusted to the ﬁgure required using the encoder, the fader knob icon will move up and down to give a graphical representation

of the increase or decrease in gain:

The level control ranges are as follows:

• Channels 1 and 2: –30 dB to +40 dB

• Bluetooth: –32 dB to 0 dB

• Main Output: –inf (off) to +10 dB

Note that when a channel is attenuated all the way down to the lowest level, -30 for inputs 1 & 2, -32 for the Bluetooth input 3 and -inﬁnity

for the main output, it will be completely muted and the fader knob will turn red:

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE V1.1

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE

The bottom row has EQ adjustment for input channels 1, 2 and Bluetooth. In order to change a channel’s EQ, rotate the control encoder

and push when the desired channel’s EQ icon is illuminated:

The encoder will now scroll between the High (Hi), mid-range (Mid) and low frequency (Low) and the mixer icon to return to the mixer

layer. If you click on one of the EQ bands the level will be highlighted and the encoder will allow you to adjust the EQ level for that band:

The EQ ranges are as follows:

• High: ±12 dB @ 6 kHz [Channels 1 and 2] @ 12 kHz [Bluetooth]

• Mid: ±12 dB @ 2.5 kHz

• Low: ±12 dB @ 80 Hz

• HPF: 10 Hz – 400 Hz at 12 dB per octave [Channels 1 and 2 only]

Select the mixer icon with the control encoder to return to the previous screen once the EQ settings you need have been entered.

Menu Screen

From the mixer screen use the encoder to select the menu icon in the bottom right corner below the output fader. The menu screen displays

ﬁve options. Like the mixer screen, rotate the speaker control encoder until the icon of the parameter you want to change is illuminated,

then push the encoder to enter that icon’s screen.

The six icon selectors are as follows:

• Presets

• Bluetooth

• Settings

• Lock

• Channels

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE V1.1

Bluetooth

This is where to set up and view Bluetooth connectivity options.

Pair

By default the loudspeaker will not be paired. Use the encoder to select Pair and press.

The NOT PAIRED text will change to DISCOVERABLE and Pair will change to Cancel giving you the option to abandon the pairing. At this

stage you should go to the settings of your Bluetooth device where you should see BLXP12, BLXP15 or BLXP118, depending on which

BlacklineX Powered product you are linking to, in the available devices. Click on the product and you will be paired. There is no code or

password to enter.

The text DISCOVERABLE will change to PAIRED and Cancel will change to Disconnect. You can select disconnect if you need to pair a

second device with the loudspeaker.

The Bluetooth connection may disconnect when affected by electrostatic discharge (ESD) or electrical fast transients (EFT). If this occurs,

manually reconnect the Bluetooth connection.

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.

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE V1.1

BLACKLINEX POWERED USER GUIDE

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.
