The 15W600 low frequency transducer meets the specific market requirement for a loudspeaker which combines good linearity and efficiency with high power handling capabilities.

It is an ideal woofer and subwoofer choice for all two or three-way ferrite systems. Although primarily developed for compact reflex enclosures (around 70 lt), the 15W600 driver’s versatile characteristics also render it suitable for a wide variety of loading typologies, including bandpass and horn loaded. When used in a two-way system, we recommend a 1.4" or 2" exit HF compression driver match in order to achieve the best sound quality results.
