This next evolution subwoofer uses a new, longer, four layer aluminum voice coil. The result is more energy in the gap, higher sensitivity, lower distortion and better overall performance. The 15DS115 features a 40mm long, 4.5 inch diameter (116mm) Copper Clad Aluminum Wire voice coil. With a 1600watt AES power rating, 96 dB sensitivity, and over 14 mm of Xvar, this high energy subwoofer is a significant step forward from similar models in the B&C range.

Service Kit

  • 2 hours test made with continuous pink noise signal within the range Fs-10Fs. Power calculated on rated minumum impedance. Loudspeaker in free air.
  • Power on Continuous Program is defined as 3 dB greater than the Nominal rating.
  • Applied RMS Voltage is set to 2 V for 4 ohms Nominal Impedance.
  • Thiele-Small parameters are measured after a high level 20 Hz sine wave preconditioning test.
