Martin Audio Blackline XP15 | 1300W 15-Inch Active Professional Loudspeaker
Professional power without compromise. The XP15 is a bi-amplified 2-way system that pairs a high-specification 15-inch low-frequency driver with a 1-inch exit compression driver. The heart of the unit is a 1300W Class-D amplifier (1000W LF / 300W HF) managed by an advanced digital signal processor. This DSP provides crossover functions, limiting, and a user-adjustable 3-band EQ, all accessible via a rotary encoder and a clear multi-function screen on the rear panel. With its wide 80 x 50 degree dispersion horn—which can be rotated for horizontal use—the XP15 ensures consistent, high-fidelity coverage across any audience.

Professional Engineering and Versatility
Elite Sonic Clarity Martin Audio is world-renowned for "the Martin sound"—a signature characterized by warmth, detail, and extreme clarity. The XP15 upholds this tradition by using premium drivers and a high-accuracy crossover that ensures a seamless transition between the woofer and the compression driver.
Versatile Positioning The XP15’s symmetrical, multi-angle cabinet allows it to function perfectly as a front-of-house main or a high-performance floor monitor. For permanent installs, the M8 rigging points allow for secure suspension, while the dual-angle pole socket allows the speaker to be tilted downwards on a stand to direct sound away from ceilings and toward the crowd.
