Description

The Blackline F12+ is a high power, compact two-way system with a new, vented-chassis, 12” (300mm) LF driver and a new 1” (25mm) exit compression driver mounted on a rotatable 80˚ x 50˚ constant directivity HF horn. The LF driver has a tough, water resistant cone and features a high BL motor with a flat-wire copper coil and an aluminium demodulating ring. This reduces intermodulation distortion and improves midrange performance when driven hard. Increased excursion is available by virtue of a triple roll surround and deep motor structure. The directivity of the LF driver has been matched to the HF horn in the crossover region by improved crossover design and cone profile optimisation, also the new HF compression driver utilises an ultra-lightweight Kapton diaphragm for extended high frequency response.The F12+ is the ideal choice for fullrange applications calling for an efficient, reliable workhorse that is equally suitable for fixed installations or quick deployment mobile operations. Its ergonomic design and rotatable HF horn makes near-ceiling mounting and aiming easy in venues with restricted height, whilst its multi-angle birch ply cabinet also allows it to be used as a highly intelligible floor monitor. Ten M8 inserts and four M8 bracket inserts make a variety of mounting methods possible including horizontal or vertical mounting.The F12+ comes with a top hat fitting for speaker stand mounting. This fitting can also be used as a pole socket when the F12+ is used with a Blackline S15+ or S18+ subwoofer.A Martin Audio M3+ or DX1.5 Electronic Controller is available to provide F12+/subwoofer crossover and limiter facilities.

About the Martin F12 Blackline 2-Way Passive Speaker

The Blackline F12 is a versatile, high-output two-way passive loudspeaker designed to serve as a reliable main, monitor, or fill speaker in a wide spectrum of professional audio applications, from live sound reinforcement and portable PA to fixed installation. This enclosure features a 12-inch low-frequency driver paired with a 1.4-inch exit compression driver mounted on a rotatable constant-directivity waveguide, all driven by an internal passive crossover network. This combination delivers a robust, full-range sound with high sensitivity and substantial power handling, capable of providing clear vocal reproduction and impactful music reinforcement. The trapezoidal cabinet design with multiple integrated mounting points, including a pole socket and M20 threaded insert, allows for flexible deployment on stands, as a floor monitor, on speaker poles over subwoofers, or flown in arrays, making it a highly adaptable tool for system builders.

Built for durability in demanding environments, the cabinet is constructed from 15mm birch plywood and finished with a tough, textured carpet coating, complemented by a protective steel grille. The rotatable high-frequency horn is a key feature, enabling the user to orient the 90° x 50° dispersion pattern to best suit the application—horizontally for wide audience coverage as a main speaker or vertically for broader stage coverage when used as a monitor. This focus on practical design ensures optimal acoustic performance regardless of the physical setup. The speaker's efficiency and impedance make it well-matched with a broad range of professional power amplifiers, allowing it to achieve high sound pressure levels with minimal amplifier strain.

The sonic performance of the Blackline F12 is characterized by its articulate midrange, detailed high-frequency response, and punchy low-end, providing a balanced and powerful output that meets the needs of musicians, DJs, and audio engineers. Its reputation for rugged reliability and consistent sound quality has made it a staple in rental inventories, installed systems in clubs and houses of worship, and for mobile entertainers. As a fully passive solution, it offers a straightforward, no-compromise approach to sound reinforcement, delivering professional-grade performance and flexibility in a single, road-ready enclosure.
