Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a 15-inch woofer over smaller systems?
A 15-inch woofer delivers deeper bass extension and higher sound pressure levels, making it ideal for larger venues and events requiring more low-frequency impact.
Which facilities benefit most from a 15-inch 2-way system?
Large auditoriums, worship centers with substantial seating, live music theaters, and outdoor festivals with hundreds of attendees benefit from the 15-inch driver and extended 35 Hz bass.
How does the 35 Hz response differ from 37 Hz systems?
A 35 Hz low end gives slightly deeper bass extension than 37 Hz, providing stronger support for kick drums, low guitar strings, and organ pedal notes.
Can I configure this 15-inch system for biamp operation?
Yes, the Passive/Biamp design allows both passive operation with a single amplifier feed or bi-amped configuration with separate channels for lows and highs.
How much more amplifier power does a 15-inch system typically need?
15-inch systems generally require more power than 12-inch alternatives, but the exact requirements depend on impedance and desired SPL. Contact Procure.ae for power recommendations.
Is a 15-inch speaker easier or harder to rig than smaller models?
15-inch speakers are heavier and require more robust rigging infrastructure and amplifier power, but they deliver superior coverage and output for large venues.
What are the delivery lead times for 15-inch speakers in the UAE?
