Take Control
The B1500XP features balanced XLR inputs and outputs, as well as balanced XLR Thru jacks for
connecting additional enclosures. A Boost Frequency knob targets a boost frequency between
45 Hz and 90 Hz. Flick the Boost switch to give your selected frequency a +10 dB boost. The B1500XP
also has a High Cut dial that provides precision control over the upper-corner frequency of the
subwoofer’s ampli er. The High Cut dial does not a ect the Thru signals, only signals directed to the
subwoofer (however, it does a ect the Output socket signals sent out to full-range speakers). A Level
knob controls the input gain, and the Phase switch reverses the output phase to compensate for
frequency cancellation between the subwoofer and satellite speakers. LEDs show operational status
at a glance, including power, signal present and input overloads. Rounding out this stellar set of
features is an RMS and Peak limiter, which provides the ultimate in protection for the TURBOSOUND
LF driver.
Which Speaker Do I Need?
As you have probably noticed, we make these subwoofers in two di erent woofer sizes. Which one
is right for you? An 18" woofer has more surface area with which to move air than a 15". If you’re
running sound for a jazz combo in a dinner club, a single B1500XP might be all you’ll need. But if you
need to serve up pulse-pounding techno at a large, standing-room-only dance club, you might need
a pair of B1800XPs to really ignite the dance oor.
