Description

3 MU15 is a two way full range speaker adopting the new structure and new painting technology. It integrates one 15″ Neod ym ium w oofer w it h 75MM voice coil an d on e 3″ compression driver . The rated power is 360W, the peak power is 1440W. Symmetrical magnet circuit design reduce the impar HD effectively and enhance the LF sound quality. Neodymium transducers reduce 15% weight. Cabinet is made of 15mm birch plyw ood w it h advanced environmental protection Polyurethane-based painting which is very rigid. The cabinet strength reach to 4500N. Q235 grille is coated by powder to provide strong ultra-Weatherability, can be used outdoors for 5 years. The backside foam of grille can prevent the rain. MU15 adopts the protection free design, which reduce the interfere and enhance the sound quality.

Speaker testing method

1. 1.  **Frequency response**  

   Use Pink noise to test the speaker in the anechoic room, adjust the level to make the speaker work at its rated impedance and the power output is 1W, then test the frequency response 1m away from the speaker.

2. Sensitivity
   Use full range Pink noise which was modified by EQ curve to test the speaker in the anechoic room, enlarge the signal to make the speaker work at its rated impedance and the power output is 1W, then test the sensitivity 1m away from the speaker.

3. MAX.SPL
   Use full range Pink noise which was modified by EQ curve to test the speaker in the anechoic room, enlarge the signal to make the speaker work at its instant power output level, then test the SPL 1m away from the speaker.

4. Rated Power
   Use the pink noise according to IEC#268-5 to test the speaker, and enlarge the signal for a continuous 100hours, the rated power is the power when the speaker will not incur hot damage or mechanics damage.
