Optimum low-end boost

Even though subwoofers with integrated power amplifiers are very popular with bands and for smaller PA jobs, there are still a wide variety of applications for which passive PA speakers such as the Electro-Voice EKX-15S take the lead. This 15-inch sub makes a convincing case with its low weight, its robust construction, and its rich, powerful sound – in particular when a really fat-sounding boost is needed in the bass range. It is especially perfect for heavy music or electronic sounds, and at the same time represents an extremely easy-to-use solution that can be operated blindfold and will thrill musicians and spectators alike. Users get all of that in its purest form with the Electro-Voice EKX-15S, and at a price that is more than fair.

EV EKX-15S Passive 15" Subwoofer

All the extra power you need

The EV EKX-15S is a great tip for musicians looking for a passive subwoofer for their band as well as for sound engineers and DJs, and even setups that already include really fat-sounding PA speakers will benefit from the additional power provided by this passive 15" sub, especially if they are driven by a high-performance power amplifier. Passive PA speakers are also the ideal solution for users who want to keep their PA setup flexible and don’t want a tangle of cables cluttering up the stage – here, they can simply connect a speaker cable to the input, run a second cable to the next speaker via the output, and the job is done. Incidentally, another advantage of passive speakers is that they do not have cooling fans as a result of their design – an advantage that should not be underestimated, especially at events where there should not be any noise between speech and music (e.g. during theatre productions and speeches).

EV EKX-15S Passive 15" Subwoofer

The ideal expansion

Bands, sound engineers, and DJs putting together their first sound system will be particularly reluctant to spend a fortune but will still want a convincing sound and enough power and presence in the bass range. An Electro Voice EKX-15S (or two) will provide an ideal upgrade for typical entry-level systems, such as two 12" or 15" speakers, when they reach the limits of their bass presence and become too small to fill the rooms in which they are used with enough sound. For an affordable price, users get a subwoofer that can deliver up to an impressive 1.600W of power and an SPL of 133dB. In addition, it delivers clear and powerful sounds down to 40Hz without any muddiness. And best of all: The EKX-15S is so flexible that it matches a wide variety of speakers, power amplifiers, and sound styles.

About Electro-Voice

Electro-Voice was founded in 1927 and has been dedicated to building sound reinforcement systems and microphones since the 1930s. The firm, originally based in Indiana, USA, is considered one of the industry pioneers and has developed many new technologies still in use today. For example, their hum-cancelling coil was not only a milestone for microphone construction, but also was at the origin of the humbucker pickups still used in many guitars. In the long history of the company, Electro-Voice has constantly expanded its offer and today sells a wide range of products for sound reinforcement tasks from entry to professional levels.

A true all-rounder

Reaching the limits of what a PA system can do can certainly be an ongoing problem. Supplementing the top units by adding the Electro-Voice EKX-15S and a solid power amplifier plus active crossover (if not already present) will make it possible to easily fill locations with a capacity of over 500 people with a powerful sound, whether playback or live music. Especially those who expect an extreme amount of bass will have a lot of fun here – and impress their customers or fans. By the way: If truly maximum deep bass is required and a few extra pounds will not be a deal-breaker, the EKX-15S also has a bigger brother, the Electro-Voice EKX-18S. However, even with the EKX-15S users can expect massive low-end presence with extremely simple assembly and disassembly as well as uncomplicated operation for hours on end.

Great sound performance
Dimitri DJ 20.09.2015
Great sound performance by Electro Voice. Good look and feel of used materials. Also orderd the protection covers and they have a perfect fit. You need them for transportation. I use the subs with ELX115 for top and that sounds great. Increadable sound for big partys. The complete set is powered with a Electro Voice Q99 and he can handle it. The weight per unit is not to heigh and can be handeld by one person.

For dj ho are looking for a sound system for party from 120 till 300 persons this is a great soundsystem. The order was handeld fast by Thomann an every thing was deliverd within a few days.

Powerful
Aristotelis 05.10.2018
Powerful sub with a clear and low bass. Not too big, not small either. It's a proper sized sub. Weight wise it's ok. You can even lift it yourself if you have to. Otherwise it's better handled by 2 people.

The bass is powerful. Full, with a good sound to it.
Sounds and looks the part. The EV covers are great.

Un son très propre
BB94 26.12.2018
Bonjour
J'en possède 4 montés sur 4 PRX 418S. Leurs dimensions s'adaptent parfaitement. Je leur octroie la bande passante 80-150 Hz avec un filtrage numérique en 24 db/oct butterworth.
Leur son est très bon, typique des 38cm. Pas de traînée ou de résonance. La courbe de réponse avec une pente rapide au delà de 120/150 hz est bien retrouvée à l'écoute.
Au niveau des points négatifs, comparé à mes PRX, la grille est plus fine, la peinture aussi, les angles arrières pas assez arrondis ce qui peut les rendre vulnérables et le puissance RMS de 400w un peu juste au regard des 95 db/1w/1m donnés. Bien que j'en fasse une utilisation domestique, je n'ai trouvé le rendement correct, qu'en les doublant sur chaque canal. A nombre de sub égal et plage égale pour test avec les PRX qui sont pourtant des 46cm, l'exigence en terme d'amplification était plus importante bien que l'ampli dédié soit plus de 2x plus puissant par canal que la puissance rms des subs. Je travaille donc maintenant en 4 ohms, en parallèle mono et cela n'a plus rien à voir grâce au couplage. Donc au final, un bon sub, des graves très propres naturellement mais un ampli costaud et un rendement un peu faible seul limité de plus par une puissance rms modeste. Je referais ce choix sans hésiter si c'était à refaire.
Cordialement
