SSOUNDS P15-X

3-way long-throw point source, 2 × 15″, 4 × 6.5″ and 2 × 3″ behind a 70° × 40° waveguide, 2,000 W.

point-sourceFOHthree-wayinstall

The P15-X is our long-throw point source: two 15″ low-frequency drivers, four 6.5″ mids and a pair of 3″ compression drivers loaded onto a 70° × 40° constant-directivity waveguide. That narrow pattern is the point, it puts energy on the far seats instead of the walls, which is why it holds intelligibility at distances where a conventional two-way has already given up. 2,000 W recommended amplifier power at 8 Ω through a passive crossover on a single NL4, or specify the P15-XA for active tri-amplified operation with full DSP control of each section. Flown or ground-stacked for arenas, stadium infill, houses of worship and long rooms.

P stands for Point Source. A single acoustic origin rather than a coupled array: coverage is set by the cabinet's own horn, and is the same whether one is deployed or several.

Key features

  • 2 × 15″ LF, 4 × 6.5″ MF and 2 × 3″ HF compression drivers in one cabinet
  • 70° × 40° constant-directivity waveguide for genuine long throw
  • 143 dB peak SPL with 45 Hz low-frequency reach
  • 2,000 W recommended amplifier power at 8 Ω through a passive crossover, one NL4 per box
  • Active tri-amplified variant (P15-XA) available for full DSP control
  • Flown or ground-stacked on M10 fly points and yoke bracket

Measurement conditions

  1. Maximum SPL is the peak level at 1 m, driven with pink noise at crest factor 4 to the clipping point of the recommended amplifier, with the SSOUNDS system preset applied. Full-range enclosures are specified under free-field conditions; figures marked half-space are specified over a reflecting plane, the condition subwoofers are deployed in, which adds approximately 6 dB.
  2. Frequency response is specified on axis at 1 m in a free field. The tolerance the figure is referenced to is stated alongside it; where no tolerance is given, the figure is the −6 dB bandwidth.
  3. Sensitivity is specified at 1 W into the nominal impedance at 1 m on axis, averaged across the pass band of the enclosure.
  4. Coverage angles are nominal −6 dB values averaged across the pass band. Per-octave directivity data is available from SSOUNDS system design support for prediction and modelling.
  5. Recommended amplifier power is the amplifier output SSOUNDS specifies for this enclosure, driven with the SSOUNDS system preset. It guides amplifier selection and is not an AES power-handling rating for the transducers.
  6. Nominal impedance is the manufacturer's rating for amplifier load calculation; minimum impedance across the operating band may be lower.
  7. Net weight excludes packaging, flight case, accessories and optional rigging hardware.
  8. Dimensions are stated in millimetres and exclude protruding rigging hardware, handles and connector panels unless noted.
  9. All figures are typical values for production units specified under the conditions above. Individual units may vary within published tolerances.

Directivity

Directivity computed by the SSOUNDS system prediction engine from this product's driver complement, the same dataset the printed data sheet uses. 1/24-octave band-power resolution; values are dB relative to on-axis.

System operation

Recommended: SSOUNDS D14X, up to 2 × P15-X per channel (passive, 8 Ω). The active P15-XA variant uses one D24X per cabinet in tri-amplified mode.
