Martin Audio XP Connect iOS Loudspeaker Control App
Martin Audio has released its first iOS app , XP Connect , for control and streaming for its self-powered portable loudspeaker series , BlacklineX Powered .
When BlacklineX Powered launched , users were able to access the built-in three-channel mixer and onboard Bluetooth streaming by using the rotary panel controls on the back of the loudspeakers . Now that functionality is available through an intuitive , colourful app to make it more convenient . The XP Connect app is designed to control a pair of speakers , so if the Bluetooth pairing on the loudspeaker is activated , it will automatically find the speaker and ask if the user wants to connect . Alternatively , in Demo mode , the user will be presented with a screen with faders for two channels , Bluetooth , the main output fader for the loudspeaker , and a clearly visible EQ button . The app has further advantages in that it allows the user to store and recall three different snapshots if set up for an FOH application .
