Passive Series

Overview

Engineered for the serious pro audio user, the U215 is among the most
advanced, most versatile and most efficient high-powered portable P.A.
boxes available on the market today. The U215 is a radical loudspeaker
cabinet design utilizing the patented Unity™ Summation Aperture Horn
Technology invented by loudspeaker designer Tom Danley.

The U215 provides remarkably even high/mid frequency distribution
from its 60° x 60° horn assembly. The combination of that conical,
constant directivity horn, dual 15-inch high powered woofers and our
unending attention to details, right down to the ideal trapezoidal
cabinet design,
Unity™ horn combines a single 1-inch-throat (1.75" diaphragm)
compression driver with three 5-inch ceramic magnet midrange drivers
firing through time-aligned slots in the horn-wall. This seamlessly
blends the mid and high frequencies while providing exceptional
power capacity and clarity from 300Hz to 20kHz.

U215

The U215 comes with a high-definition passive crossover featuring our
exclusive PTC™ non-interruptive horn protection. However it can be
easily bi-amplified thanks to a switch on the rear jackplate, and with
the optional UP215 Unity™ processor, designed specifically to optimize
the sonic characteristics of the U215. The UP215 has been developed to
ensure trouble free, "plug-and-play" operation whether the U215 is
being run in passive or active bi-amped mode. It further offers a
subwoofer output.

The ultra efficient U215's trapezoidal enclosure provides a compact
footprint that easily finds its home as a FOH speaker when deployed
vertically on stage or on scaffold staging, either singly or in tight-

ed arrays. Alternately, with its built-in flypoints, the U215 can be

pack
flown vertically or horizontally in touring or fixed systems. Other
possible applications include side fill, front or down fill or virtually any
situation where a professional quality sound reinforcement enclosure is
required. In fact, the U215's unparalleled sonic clarity and smooth
frequency response also make it ideal for music playback. With
pre-recorded music the U215 has the hi-fidelity to put it on par with
some of the best studio reference monitors. But unlike traditional

the U215 is capable if putting out very high sound
