IDea LUA15i 2-Way Passive Monitor User Guide

OVERVIEW

LUA15i is true full-range superior quality audio playback 2-way passive monitor with an innovative and attractive enclosure design.
LUA15i is a high resolution loudspeaker with unique design ideal for high quality music playback in AV portable systems and distributed audio installed solutions.

Featuring premium European high-efficiency transducers, LUA15i HF assembly integrates a 1,75” compression driver coupled with IDEA ’s proprietary Vertical-Horizontal symmetrical wide coverage horn and the LF section features a 15” woofer with two frontal firing ports that deliver full-range audio playback (capable of extending LF frequency response down to 50Hz) out of this rugged and durable 15 mm Birch Plywood cabinet with the exclusive design finish.

LUA15i matches the requirements for A/V and basic professional sound reinforcement applications as well as installations that benefit from a relatively compact design that delivers, in the mid-field at full power or in open spaces at BGM levels, sufficient LF response without subwoofers.

The 60˚ wedged-cabinet LUA15i has been designed for easy and straightforward setup and installation with a bottom 36 mm pole mount socket and M8 and M6 inserts to use with the optional U-bracket. Wa- ll-mounted LUA15i can also be used in fixed installations as full-range sound system (thanks to the dual front-firing ports) at BGM levels, or to be always surprisingly powerful in combination with BASSO subwoofers.

Although LUA15i can perfectly work as standalone systems, the integration of LF reinforcement subwoofers clearly benefit the system performance. LUA15i couples seamlessly with BASSO Series subwoofers delivering serious power density and astonishing natural, pleasant sonic quality that make this configuration an ideal choice for those environments demanding for unobtrusive, stylish but high quality, powerful solutions.
