Martin Audio SXC115 15" Compact Cardioid Subwoofer System, Ground-Stack Version

$3,900.00

Increase the impact of your system's low end with Martin's SXC115 cardioid 15" subwoofer system. The compact ground stack version of the SXC115 features a 15" forward-facing driver and a 12" rear-facing driver that together produce a cardioid output from the sub. This design combats low-end feedback, frequency overlap, and cancellation issues encountered in live music applications. You'll also enjoy increased efficiency and an additional 2dB of output compared to a conventional single 15" sub.

With your bass frequencies directed forward as opposed to everywhere, your entire system will benefit from a more accurate response. This translates to a more impactful system output for the audience. Your FOH engineer will also thank you.

The SXC115 is an ideal partner for WPM line arrays or Martin Audio point source systems(sold separately) where low-frequency pattern control is required. It can be used singly, stacked, or flown individually using threaded flying inserts.

Multi-laminate birch ply with a rugged poly coating form the cabinet for the 12" and 15" speakers that are protected from the outside world by perforated steel grilles to ensure reliability show after show. Interlocking skids prevent movement when stacked and a threaded plate in the top surface facilitates pole-mounting of up to 4 WPM enclosures or a single point source loudspeaker.

About the Martin Audio SXC115 15" Compact Cardioid Subwoofer System, Ground-Stack Version

The SXC115 produces a cardioid dispersion pattern which maximises the front radiation and reduces unwanted radiation behind the subwoofer. The recommended iK42 amplifier optimises the DSP parameters for front and rear drivers to maximise the rear rejection — from 21dB at 43Hz to 28dB at 75Hz. This keeps low frequencies away from stages, turntables and walls as well as reducing reverberant energy in the room — greatly improving the low frequency response accuracy and impact of the whole system. In front of the enclosure, the output from the two drivers is additive, giving an extra 2dB of output when compared with a conventional 1 x 15” subwoofer.

The SXC115 is an ideal partner for WPM line arrays or Martin Audio point source systems where low frequency pattern control is required. It can be used singly, stacked or flown individually by means of threaded flying inserts.

The enclosure is constructed from birch ply and finished with a hard-wearing textured paint. It is equipped with four grab handles and foam-backed perforated steel grilles protect the front and rear drivers. Interlocking skids prevent movement when stacked and a threaded plate in the top surface facilitates pole-mounting of up to 4 WPM enclosures or a single point source loudspeaker.
