Overview

The P15 is a high-output two-way point source: two 15″ low-frequency drivers and a 3″ voice-coil compression driver on a 90° × 60° constant-directivity horn, reaching 138 dB peak from a 47 kg cabinet. It is the wide-coverage counterpart to the three-way long-throw P15-X, built for main PA and fill duty where output and pattern control matter more than throw distance. Flown, stacked or pole-mounted for live, install and worship.

Notes

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.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.
3.Nominal impedance is the manufacturer's rating for amplifier load calculation; minimum impedance across the operating band may be lower.
4.Net weight excludes packaging, flight case, accessories and optional rigging hardware.
5.Dimensions are stated in millimetres and exclude protruding rigging hardware, handles and connector panels unless noted.
6.All figures are typical values for production units specified under the conditions above. Individual units may vary within published tolerances.

Directivity (isobars / balloon). Measured directivity data (isobars, balloon and GLL/CLF for EASE) is in preparation. We publish measured polars only. Contact us for the current measurement status of this model.

Architectural & engineering specification

The loudspeaker shall be of the SSOUNDS P15 type, configured as a passive 2-way point source. The loudspeaker shall incorporate a low-frequency section of 2 × 15″ woofers, a high-frequency section of 1 × 3″ voice-coil compression driver. The loudspeaker shall be capable of meeting the following performance criteria: a maximum sound pressure level of 138 dB peak @ 1 m; nominal coverage of 90° × 60° (rotatable horn). Electrically the loudspeaker shall provide a nominal impedance of 8 Ω, a crossover at Passive. The unit shall be passive. Connection shall be by 2 × NL4 speakON (in / link). The loudspeaker shall be constructed of 15 mm birch, Polyurea, steel grille, measuring 1,090 × 445 × 505 mm, and shall weigh 47 kg / 104 lb. Rigging provision shall be M10 inserts, pole socket. The loudspeaker shall be covered by the manufacturer's two (2) year limited warranty and shall be supplied by SSOUNDS or an SSOUNDS-authorised distributor. No alternate shall be accepted without prior written approval of the consultant or specifying engineer.

Safety & compliance

Read this section before specifying, installing or operating this product. It summarises the safety requirements set out in full in the product documentation supplied with the unit; where the two differ, the product documentation takes precedence.

Suspension & rigging: Overhead suspension is potentially hazardous and must be carried out only by trained and competent personnel using SSOUNDS-approved hardware, within the working load limits and array configurations published in the relevant SSOUNDS rigging documentation. Never exceed the stated number of enclosures per array or the stated splay limits. Inspect all rigging components, pins and retaining clips before every deployment and withdraw from service any component that is deformed, corroded or of unknown history. Secondary safety attachment is required where local regulation calls for it. SSOUNDS accepts no liability for systems suspended using non-approved hardware or outside published limits.
Sound pressure level & hearing: This equipment is capable of producing sound pressure levels that cause permanent hearing damage. Do not operate at high level in close proximity, and ensure that operators, performers and audience exposure complies with applicable occupational noise-exposure regulation. Provide hearing protection where exposure limits may be exceeded.
Environment & mechanical: Unless a published IP rating states otherwise, this product is intended for indoor use or for outdoor use under cover, and must be protected from rain, standing water and prolonged direct sun. Ensure ventilation openings are unobstructed. Stack, pole-mount and transport only as described in the product documentation, and secure the product against toppling wherever the public has access.
Disposal: At end of life, dispose of the product and any packaging in accordance with local regulation for electrical and electronic equipment. Do not dispose of electronic components in general waste.

Limited warranty: two (2) years

SSOUNDS products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the original date of purchase by the end user. Within that period SSOUNDS will, at its option, repair or replace the defective item with no charge for parts or labour. The item must be adequately packaged and dispatched, carriage pre-paid, to SSOUNDS or an SSOUNDS-authorised service centre, accompanied by proof of purchase and a returns reference issued in advance by SSOUNDS. Unauthorised repair, modification or removal of serial-number labelling voids this warranty.

This warranty does not cover

Cosmetic wear, finish, grille cloth, paintwork and consumable parts.
Damage caused by misuse, abuse, accident, neglect, or operation outside the published ratings on this sheet.
Damage caused by transport or handling after delivery, or by inadequate packaging on return.
Damage caused by mains or generator supply faults (over-voltage, under-voltage, phase imbalance, surge or incorrect earthing) or by lightning.
Water, dust or corrosion ingress on products not carrying a published IP rating for the conditions of use.
Damage resulting from amplification or processing outside the recommended configuration on this sheet, or from third-party presets.
Products not purchased from SSOUNDS or an SSOUNDS-authorised distributor.

This warranty is in addition to, and does not affect, any statutory rights the purchaser may have under applicable consumer law. It is the sole warranty offered; no other warranty, express or implied, is given.
