iDea EXO15-A 2-Way Active Multipurpose Monitor

2-Way Active Multipurpose Monitor

EXO15-A is a versatile, high-performance full range 2-way active wedged monitor conceived for professional environments where portable sound reinforcement is required, delivering a superior audio reproduction in a very compact, multipurpose format.
EXO15-A HF assembly couples a 3˝compression driver into common EXO Series birch plywood axisymmetric horn with IDEA’s proprietary design and a premium European, dedicated-design passive crossover filter provides a smooth, natural transition intro the MLF 15˝ woofer and summing up into a superior audio playback along the whole usable frequency range.
Like all IDEA models, EXO15-A is built with 15 and 18 mm birch plywood, IDEA’s Aquaforce waterproof paint coating and a high-quality steel grille, creating a rugged, durable and stylish loudspeaker.

The 60° wedged cabinet allows not only to be used as FOH main system in small venues, bars
and AV applications and as a stage monitor but to seamlessly fit into any wall mount fixed installation.
EXO15-A integrates a bottom Pole Mount 35 mm socket to be configured on BASSO Series subwoofers for portable sound reinforcement and medium performance venues and clubs.

DSP/AMP POWER MODULE

EXO15-A integrates a Class-D 1,2 kW (@ 4Ω) power module and 24-bit DSP with 4 selectable presets. This high efficiency, low consumption power module features PFC (Power Factor Correction) for worldwide operation and error proof connection to mains voltage. The rear panel features a rotary gain control, balanced audio input and output XLR and PowerCON connections, led activity indicators and a select pushbutton to toggle between the 4 preloaded presets.

INSTALLATION ACCESSORIES

EXO15 is fitted with 10 threaded M8 inserts for hung permanent installations as well as bottom 36 mm pole-mount socket that serves for both pole mount configurations onto a BASSO Series subwoofer.
