Description
1800W 15" Portable Powered Subwoofer
The ETX-15SP 15", 1800W Powered Subwoofer from Electro-Voice is a portable powered Class-D subwoofer capable of up to 1800 watts of output power for a peak SPL rating of 134dB. It has an adjustable low-pass filter, allowing you to select from 80, 100, 120, or 150Hz. The subwoofer has integrated FIR-Drive DSP, including a preset for true cardioid output across its bandwidth. Its combo pole cup supports both insert and threaded inputs allowing it to be used with a variety of other loudspeakers. 4 removable casters are included for easy transport.
Features:
-
High-Sensitivity, Low-Distortion Transducer Design
All ETX woofers use Faraday rings for better vocal reproduction
The woofers not only have high power handling but also feature a robust mechanical design to ensure long-term reliability
EV focuses on engineering transducers with linear frequency response, minimizing the need for additional equalization -
Components and Testing
All ETX components are designed from the ground up by Electro-Voice. No off-the-shelf components are used
The handles, pole cups and amplifier chassis are die-cast aluminum, not plastic
18mm, 13-ply birch plywood with EVCoat is used throughout the ETX product line
In addition to industry-standard pink noise abuse tests, all models must survive EV's proprietary 1,000-hour torture test that uses real-world signals driven beyond full output -
Processing and Control
System DSP presets support quick and easy setup via selections for type of use, crossover frequencies and top/sub combinations
Includes a DSP preset for "true cardioid" configuration
ETX employs the same proprietary PAL and TEMP limiters developed for Electro Voice's concert loudspeakers
Boundary compensation filters are included so that an ETX loudspeaker sounds the same whether it is used as a floor monitor, on a tripod or suspended from a ceiling
ETX offers user-adjustable features including delay out to several hundred feet, three-band parametric equalization, polarity and multiple high-pass crossover points
The Class-D design of the amplifier is designed to be efficient and features blower-controlled thermal management, allowing it to work in hot environments. The fan is of a quiet design and does not turn on under normal circumstances
Lockout mode helps prevent casual users from changing settings - LCD Interface
Complete full-function DSP control via a single-knob interface. LCD screen for easy system set-up and monitoring: location/application EQ presets, limiter status, input level controls/meters and master volume control to ensure optimal gain structure
