Data Sheet

PS15-R2

Loudspeaker

Key Features

• High-power system (136dB Peak SPL @ 1m) with 15in LF and 2in HF drivers.

• Rotatable asymmetrical horn and unique cabinet architecture ensure versatility; useradaptable for both PA and stage monitoring applications.

• Two-way, switchable passive or active design for precise performance-matching to user requirements.

• Sophisticated control electronics ensure reliable, linear operation.

• Supported with a full range of mounting and flying accessories.

System Applications

• High-power mid-sized touring, installed PA for clubs, A/V, theater, Houses of Worship, broadcast, etc.

• High-quality, extremely powerful stage monitoring for A/V, theatre, cabarets, broadcast, etc.

• Fill-in system for any PA requiring side, down and near-field augmentation.

A high power system capable of producing 136dB

Peak SPL, the new PS15-R2 Loudspeaker can be safely driven with up to 2000 Watts of amplifier power. Controlled by the new, dedicated PS 15

TDController-R2, or the NXAMP Powered Controller, the PS15-R2 achieves high SPLs and wide bandwidth performance, despite being only half the weight and volume of common trapezoidal loudspeaker systems.

Along with the flexible coverage patterns enabled by

NEXO’s proprietary constant directivity asymmetrical dispersion horn, the architecture and weight balance of the PS15-R2 are designed to provide both uncompromised PA and stage monitor performance from a single speaker.

Left and Right versions of the PS15-R2 have been developed to provide a true stereo image – particularly important for wedge applications.

The 2-way passive 8

Ω design uses a single amplifier channel to deliver bi-amped performance, reducing system cost, size and complexity, while the new cabinet design incorporates a pole mount and a new hardware adapter compatible with a vast array of touring and fixed installation accessories.

The PS15TD Controller-R2 is precisely matched to the PS15-R2 & RS15 cabinets and includes protections. Using

PS15-R2 & RS15 without a properly connected PS15 TDController-R2 will result in poor sound quality and can damage the components.

After dismounting the front grille from its fixings, the HF Horn can be rotated in 4 positions for dispersion configuration.

The PS15-R2 can be used without optional RS15 Sub-bass. Active two-way operation with RS15 is included in the

PS15 TDController-R2. One RS15 matches 2 x PS15-R2, additional RS15 may be used for enhanced LF capability.

PS15R2 are wired 2-/2+ on Input Speakons in Passive Mode. PS1R25 are wired LF 1-/1+ & HF 2-/2° on Input

Speakons in Active Mode. Please refer to RS15 User Manual for RS15 for RS15 connection.
