in Passive Full-Range PA Speakers

Passive PA speaker

Even though speakers with an integrated power amplifier are very popular with bands and for smaller PA jobs, there are still a wide variety of applications in which passive PA speakers such as the Electro-Voice EKX-15 take the lead. This 15-incher makes a convincing case with its robust construction, its moderate weight, and its rich, powerful sound – especially when a little more boost is needed in the bass range. And isn't that exactly what a band is looking for? Easy-to-use equipment that can be used blindfold and will put a smile on the faces of musicians and audiences alike. That's exactly what users get here in its purest form, and at a price that is more than fair.

Easy does it

The EV EKX-15 is a great tip for musicians looking for a passive PA speaker for their band as well as for sound engineers and DJs. Whether it is used as a PA speaker with or without a subwoofer, for speech, or even in a permanent installation, this passive 15" speaker makes an entirely convincing case. Developed in the USA, it is without a doubt particularly interesting for users who already work with power amplifiers. Those who want to keep their sound amplification setup as flexible as possible will find the EKX-15 to be the perfect choice. And those who don't want a tangle of power cables all over the stage can simply connect a speaker cable to the input, continue to the next speaker via the output, and the job is done. It doesn’t get any easier than that!

Perfect building blocks for that first setup

Bands, sound engineers, and DJs putting together their first sound system will be particularly reluctant to spend a fortune but will still want a convincing sound and enough power and low-end presence. And there is no doubt that the Electro-Voice EKX-15 makes a convincing case here. For an affordable price, users get loudspeakers that can deliver up to an impressive 1.600 watts of power and handle 400 watts of constant load, and also deliver an SPL of up to 132dB, allowing medium-sized locations to be provided with high-quality sound. And best of all: The user’s existing setup can be gradually expanded, for example with additional speakers, subwoofers, larger power amplifiers, and much more. And thanks to the wide range of accessories from the long-established US manufacturer, the EKX-15 can be adapted to a wide variety of purposes at any time.

About Electro-Voice

Electro-Voice was founded in 1927 and has been dedicated to building sound reinforcement systems and microphones since the 1930s. The firm, originally based in Indiana, USA, is considered one of the industry pioneers and has developed many new technologies still in use today. For example, their hum-cancelling coil was not only a milestone for microphone construction, but also was at the origin of the humbucker pickups still used in many guitars. In the long history of the company, Electro-Voice has constantly expanded its offer and today sells a wide range of products for sound reinforcement tasks from entry to professional levels.

A true all-rounder

With a pair of Electro-Voice EKX-15s and a solid power amplifier, speaker stands, and cables, users can easily fill locations with a capacity of up to 350 people with speech or (live) music. Those who generally expect an extreme amount of bass should consider purchasing a suitable subwoofer, such as the EV EKX-18S – provided they have the appropriate power amplifier. In addition to the great sound, users can expect extremely easy assembly and disassembly as well as uncomplicated operation for hours on end.

Well, they are pricey for a reason

Matyas S. 03.04.2021

Clear, precise, powerful sound. Coming from an old high-end HK Audio system, this blew my head off. Loved it from the very first minute. Price is a bit high, but for what you get... yeah. If you can afford it, buy it! But consider this. This speaker is LOUD. If you can't push it as hard as it needs to be pushed (too small rehearsal space, etc.), go for something smaller. I wanted something that could carry multiple instruments (modellers+IRs with vocals, keys, etc) even on small-to-medium gigs. This is IT. Great recommendation from Thomann's team, they did not dissapoint.

PA mit HiFi Qualitäten

cityracer214 04.11.2020

Ich betreibe diese Lautsprecher zusammen mit den EKX-18S und Distanzstange als klassisches Top/Sub System.
Zur Ansteuerung verwende ich eine EV Q1212* pro Seite, das ganze hängt dann an einem EV Dx46 DSP. Hier verwende ich die in der IRIS-Net Software enthaltenen, auf die Lautsprecher abgestimmten Voreinstellungen (EQ, Xover und Limiter).

Klanglich einfach nur Spitze, nichts scheppert, klirrt oder verzerrt, so wie ein Lautsprecher eben sein sollte.

Das Gehäuse ist sehr solide, die Griffmulden aus Metall gefertigt und ausreichend groß zum bequemen Tragen. Sind nicht die leichtesten, lassen sich gerade so noch alleine auf die Stange wuchten.
Erwähnenswert ist meiner Meinung nach auch, dass die Lautsprecher tatsächlich in Deutschland hergestellt werden, was vielleicht auch ein Kaufargument ist.

*Baugleich Dynacord SL2400, (sind ja beides Marken von Bosch) aber 68€ Günstiger.

Un son net et sans bavures

Phil SMITH 20.06.2017

Bonjour à tous,

Nous avons acquis ce système il y a quelques mois pour une utilisation professionnelle.
Usage principale : Sonorisation de DJ's electro et généraliste

Nous avons choisi le système en passif (choix purement personnel) et couplons les EKX 15 avec 1 ou 2 caissons EKX18 selon la config de salle et le nombre de participants (150 à 300 personnes).
Le système est amplifié par 2 QSC GX5 et gérer par un processeur DBX.
Nous utilisons également 2 EKX12 en retour ou rappel salle.

La puissance est au rendez-vous et même en poussant un peu le système, le son reste propre, chaque fréquence est à sa place.
Le système encaisse sans broncher !!
Nous avons déjà tester des systèmes plus puissant qui avaient un moins bon rendu.

La finition des enceintes est propre (même si nous ne choisissons pas nos systèmes pour ça) et surtout robuste !

Le petit bémol (il en faut bien un) c'est le poids (23kg) qui reste élevé pour une puissance de 400W.

Le rapport qualité prix est excellent et si c'était à refaire on ne changerait rien.
