The KI-215 high power dual 15" trapezoidal low-frequency loudspeaker system shall include two 15" (381mm) K-45-KT low-frequency transducers, utilizing 3" (76.2mm) voice coils and 104-ounce (3.23kg) magnets.

Frequency response shall be 70Hz to 1kHz, ± 4dB, with the

-10dB point at 57Hz, measured at three meters, half-space anechoic. Cabinet tuning shall be 40Hz, allowing electronic equalization for frequency extension. Refer to graphs for horizontal and vertical dispersion angles and directivity. Sensitivity shall be 105dB SPL, measured at one meter, half-space anechoic, with a 2.83V input. Power handling shall be 800 watts (56.5 volts), to AES standards, continuous pink noise, 40Hz to 10kHz, 6dB peaks. Maximum continuous output at one meter shall be 131dB SPL. Nominal impedance shall be 8 ohms, with 4 ohms minimum at 40Hz.

Signal connections shall be made via two parallel-wired Neutrik NL-4 Speakon panel mount jacks.

The enclosure panels shall be CNC-fabricated, 18mm, 13-ply Baltic Birch void-free plywood, assembled utilizing rabbet and dado joinery. The motorboard baffle shall be 1" (2.54cm) 11-ply birch plywood. Dimensions for the enclosure shall be 34.313" (87.155cm) high by 16.5" (41.91cm) deep by 19.438" (49.372cm) front width and 6.813" (17.305cm) rear width in a symmetrical trapezoidal shape, with both side panels angled at 22.5˚. Net weight shall be 81 lbs. (36.774kg). The top and bottom panels shall be radiused, with a curved metal perforated grille for structural integrity and protection of the transducers from impact and tampering. The enclosure tuning shall be of a vented design.

Enclosure flying capability shall be provided using 12 commercially available rigging bar-compatible internal

/8” 16-thread mounting points, three per top, bottom and

both sides.

The enclosure shall be coated with lacquer-based primer and lacquer-based texture, with a black or white finish. The enclosure shall also be available unfinished in raw birch.

The system shall be a Klipsch KI-215 loudspeaker.

HIGH POWER DUAL

15"TRAPEZOIDAL

LOW FREQUENCY

SPEAKER SYSTEM

●

Compact 22.5˚ symmetrical trapezoidal design

●

High power 15" cast frame woofers

●

105dB half-space sensitivity, 131dB SPL maximum output

●

800-watt power handling capability

●

12 rigging points for simple, reliable mounting

Designed as the perfect complement to

Klipsch’s high power, full-range

loudspeaker systems, the KI-215

low-frequency enclosure features two

K-45-KT cast frame 15" transducers.

These heavy duty components use

104-ounce magnets and 3" voice coils to

deliver high sensitivity and advanced

power handling capabilities. Utilizing

proprietary speaker motor assemblies,

the unique design ensures that voice coil

formers won’t be damaged during

extreme cone excursions. Additionally,

a low 40Hz cabinet tuning allows

electronic equalization to be added for

extended response without undue

component stress.

Ideal when used in music reinforce-

ment and reproduction environments

such as clubs, theaters, auditoriums,

churches and performance halls, the 13-

ply, Baltic Birch tuned port enclosure

applies CNC fabrication techniques for

uniform tolerances and build reliability.

Signal connections are provided via two

parallel-wired Neutrik NL-4 Speakon

panel mount jacks. Built-in flying

capability is included using twelve

/8” 16-thread fly points compatible

with most commercially available

rigging hardware.

The KI-215’s trapezoidal enclosure

dimensions and rigging configuration

are identical to the KI-362 full-range

professional loudspeaker system,

making it an ideal match when using an

external, active two-way crossover. The

KI-215 is also suitable for use with the

KI-262 and KI-272, providing smooth

power response and improving

low-frequency extension.

As with all KI Series speakers, the

KI-215 is covered by the Klipsch

limited five-year warranty.
