crossover network maintains flat frequency and phase responses whilst utilising the minimum number of amplifier channels.

power stage monitoring or larger installations. The sturdy Birch plywood enclosure houses a neodymium 15” LF driver, with
a 2” exit HF compression driver on a 60°H x 40°V horn. Controlled dispersion throughout the operating range ensure than
multiple G15 enclosures can be easily arrayed. As with other G-Series fullrange products, the G15 contains a G-Phase
