The high power Blackline F15+ is a high performance, wide- bandwidth system in a compact and efficient package. Extended frequency response is provided by a new 15” (380mm) LF driver and a new 1.4” (35mm) exit compression driver mounted on a rotatable 80˚ x 50˚ constant directivity HF horn. The new LF driver features a tough, water resistant cone and a lightweight, high BL, neodymium motor system with inside/outside coil windings for improved heat transfer. An aluminium demodulating ring reduces distortion and improves midrange clarity at high levels and increased excursion is available via a triple roll surround and deep motor structure. The new HF driver utilises a titanium diaphragm with controlled break-up modes for improved sonic performance at high frequencies and the crossover design and LF cone profile have been optimised to match the directivity of the HF horn and LF section through the crossover region.

A Martin Audio M3+ or DX1 Electronic Controller is available to provide F15+/subwoofer crossover and limiter facilities.

F15+ specifications

The Martin Audio F15+ is a versatile, high-performance loudspeaker designed to meet the demands of professional audio environments. It is specifically engineered to deliver outstanding sound fidelity and clarity, making it an ideal solution for live music venues, corporate events, and installations. With its robust build and advanced technology, the F15+ stands out as a reliable choice for sound engineers and audio professionals.

One of the main features of the F15+ is its 15-inch low-frequency driver which provides powerful bass response and allows for deep sonic impact. This is coupled with a 1-inch high-frequency compression driver that ensures crisp and clear high frequencies. The combination of these elements creates a balanced sound that caters to various genres of music, whether it be rock, jazz, or electronic.

The F15+ also integrates Martin Audio's signature Wide Coverage Technology, which results in even sound distribution across a large area, reducing the need for additional speakers in many applications. This technology allows for consistent audio performance and makes the system easier to deploy in different settings. The dispersion pattern of the F15+ is designed to provide excellent front-to-back ratio, ensuring that even those situated at the rear of the listening area can enjoy the same sound quality as those at the front.

Another notable characteristic of the F15+ is its lightweight and compact design, facilitated by the use of advanced materials. This makes it easy to transport and quick to set up, without compromising on the audio quality. The enclosure is built from durable plywood and features a rugged, weather-resistant finish, allowing the F15+ to withstand the rigors of touring and outdoor performances.

Moreover, the F15+ is equipped with multiple input options and is compatible with various amplification systems, providing flexibility for different setups. Its design also incorporates handles and rigging points, making it suitable for both ground-stacking and flown configurations.

In conclusion, the Martin Audio F15+ combines professional-grade sound quality, advanced technologies, and practical design features, making it an exceptional choice for any audio application. Its ability to deliver powerful and clear sound while remaining user-friendly sets it apart in the competitive loudspeaker market. Whether for a temporary deployment at an event or a long-term installation, the F15+ ensures that audiences experience live performances as they were meant to be heard.
