Self-powered point source cabinets built around Martin Audio’s CDD-LIVE and Blackline XP ranges, spanning 8-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch formats with amplification and DSP on board. These are working boxes for bands, corporate AV, small to mid-size venues and dry hire stock, where speaker and amplifier in one enclosure keeps the rig simple and the load-in fast.

Driver size is the first decision: an 8-inch box like the CDD-LIVE 8 suits front fill, delay and speech duties, while the 12-inch and 15-inch models carry full-band programme in rooms of a few hundred people. The CDD-LIVE series uses Martin Audio’s Coaxial Differential Dispersion approach to keep coverage consistent close to and far from the box, while the Blackline XP models put 1300W of amplification behind a straightforward two-way design. Check pole-mount and rigging options against how you actually deploy, and plan mains distribution early, since every cabinet needs power as well as signal.

Most of these tops have matching powered subwoofers in the Active Subwoofers category, and trade account holders can talk system sizing through with us before committing.
