FaitalPRO has introduced the new 15XL1400, a 15-inch loudspeaker woofer with high power and long excursion.
The new woofer utilizes the same magnet assembly and suspensions – double spider and cone surround – of the company’s 18XL1500 woofer.
“With the new 15XL1400, we were able to reach 1,400 watts of nominal power,” notes Flavio Naggi, FaitalPRO overseas sales manager. “It is a real subwoofer to use on the same level as the 18XL1500 but in an enclosure of smaller volume, tuned to a slightly higher frequency: it is a very specific sub, performing very well in its stroke, the mechanical excursion is the same as that of its 18-inch L ‘brother,’ however, presented in a slightly smaller form.”
The new woofer was introduced to respond to the needs of an increasing number of clients that require a special performance 15-inch sub for high “punch performance” around 80 -100 Hz.
The18XL1500 works from 35 to 80/90 Hz and the new 15XL1400 works from 40/48 up to 110/120 Hz.
Consequently, for a while they overlap and operate in two very close ranges, resulting in excellent punch strength, able to improve any sound with a high intensity level.
The Qt is not very low, also allowing the use of the loudspeaker in front loaded reflex cases.
The overall weight is close to that of the 18XL1500, because it has the same magnet assembly, voice coil and spider.
