Overview
Engineered for the serious pro audio user, the CU15 is among the most advanced, most
versatile and efficient high-powered compact PA enclosures available on the market today.
The unparalleled clarity and precision of the patented Unity™ Summation Aperture conical
horn, when combined with a high-performance15-inch Neodymium woofer, delivers amazing
intelligibility and performance unmatched by any competitive loudspeaker in this class.
The compact footprint and relative light weight of the CU15 easily make it a first choice for
front-of-house applications also as a drum monitor, side fill, front fill and down fill, or virtually
any situation where concert-quality sound reinforcement is required. In addition, sonic clarity
and smooth frequency response also make the CU15 a great choice for recorded music playback
applications. Even with the most demanding recorded programs, the CU15 has the high
fidelity to put it on par with some of the best studio reference monitors. But unlike traditional
reference monitors, the CU15 is capable of producing extremely high sound pressure levels from
its high-efficiency 1000-Watt, 4 ohm format, all with sparkling clarity.
The CU15 comes with an advanced passive crossover for plug-and-play convenience, however it
can be easily bi-amplified by way of a switch on the rear jack panel and the optional UP15
Unity™ processor. The UP15 is designed specifically to optimize the CU15's sonic characteristics
and to ensure trouble free bi-amp operation, with or without a Unity or élite series subwoofer
for extended low frequency support.
CU15
The cabinet's trapezoidal shape was designed with multi-box, tight-packed arraying in mind.
As well, due to the nature of the conical horn, the polar pattern remains quite constant on
all axis, making it ideal for use upright or on its' side, with no need to rotate the horn.
To further facilitate installation of the CU15 in virtually any application, we also offer the
FH1W flying hardware which can be used to fly cabinets in clusters of two or three box
arrays.
The Unity CU15 enclosure is entirely constructed of solid 15mm 11-ply birch finished in
durable white paint, designed to be painted over as you desire. It also features a heavygauge perforated metal grille to protect the components. Multiple reinforced flypoints make
it extremely easy to install on any angle, hung as a single cabinet or in an array.
