Thank you for choosing a dBTechnologies Product!

The KL15 is a versatile active speaker. It is equipped with one 1″ compression driver (1.35″ voice coil), and one 15″ woofer (2.5″ voice coil). The multiple input pattern allows an easy and versatile use. For example the user can connect a dynamic microphone (CH1), an independent source from a mixer (CH2), a Bluetooth MP3 reader (CH3), controlling each volume level. The user can enhance lower and upper frequencies with the convenient DSP preset function. A balanced link output allows the audio connection to a second loudspeaker, choosing among “Mix” or “Line” output type.
