AWC15LF
All-Weather Compact
Low-Frequency Speaker
with 15" LF
Key Features:
䉴 Low frequency reinforcement for outdoor
applications
䉴 Highly weather-resistant IP56 rating
䉴 Component:
• 380 mm (15 in) woofer with Kevlar-
reinforced cone and 75 mm (3 in)
voice coil.
䉴 500 Watt power handling (average
continuous pink noise)
䉴 Frequency range down to 45 Hz
䉴 300 Watt 70V/100V multi-tap transformer
or direct 8Ω low-impedance.
Applications:
The AWC15LF is a compact highly
weather resistant loudspeaker for
augmenting the low frequency capability
of a sound system. AWC15LF is ideal for
many applications, including sports
facilities, racetracks, stadiums, fairgrounds,
rodeos, skating rinks, themed
entertainment venues, cruise ships, water
parks, outdoor background music systems,
swimming pools, and a wide variety of
other outdoor and indoor venue types.
The AWC15LF utilizes a high-power,
long-excursion 380 mm (15 in) low
frequency driver with Kevlar-reinforced
cone for reliability, well-damped surround
for smoother frequency response, high
temperature 75 mm (3 in) voice coil and a
reduced distortion design through
saturated-gap magnet geometry.
The paintable enclosure is constructed
of thick ABS plus fiberglass and is heavily
braced to maximize low-frequency
performance. The corrosion-resistant zinc-
rich extra-thick powder-coated steel grille
is backed with open cell foam and tight-
weave mesh, providing a high level of
protection against water incursion in harsh
environments. The system is rated IP-56,
per IEC529 when installed at minimum 5°
down-tilt.
The AWC15LF is equipped with a 300W
70V/100V multi-tap transformer.
Connection is made via outdoor-rated
terminals in a recessed terminal cup. A
protective terminal compartment cover is
included, along with gland nut, which
forms a water-tight seal with round-
jacketed cable within the specified range
of diameters.
A heavy-duty zinc-rich, thick powder-
coated U-type mounting bracket in
included.
