The Electro-Voice EKX-15SP, a powered 15" subwoofer that delivers chest-pounding bass for live performance and installations. With a 1,300-watt Class D amplifier and high-sensitivity 15" EVS-15C woofer, the EKX-15SP cranks out up to 133dB of deep, distortion-free low frequency response. The EV exclusive Cardioid Control Technology provides a 35dB reduction in stage noise by steering output towards the audience. The EKX-15SP offers simple setup through three presets—Music, Live and Club—as well as sub/top system-match crossovers and five user-programmable presets. The EKX-15SP is the ultimate powered subwoofer for taking your sound to the next level.

Massive Power and Performance

At the heart of the EKX-15SP is a 1,300W Class-D amplifier that delivers high power with minimal distortion and heat. This amplifier is paired with a high-sensitivity 15" EVS-15C woofer to generate a whopping 133dB of deep, punchy bass that you can feel. Large slot ports and a tuned, ported enclosure provide superior bass extension and efficiency. The result is a subwoofer that can rattle the walls in any venue.

Cardioid Control Steers Sound Where You Want It

EV's Cardioid Control Technology uses multiple woofers and DSP to create a cardioid polar pattern, reducing stage noise by up to 35dB. This allows you to steer the majority of bass output towards the audience, improving clarity and reducing unwanted resonance on stage. The end result is a tighter, cleaner low-end response that won't interfere with other instruments or vocals.

Simple Setup and Operation

Despite its power and performance, the EKX-15SP is designed to be simple to use. Three onboard presets—Music, Live and Club—provide optimized settings for different applications. You also get five user-programmable presets to store your favorite settings. System-match crossovers make it easy to integrate the EKX-15SP into your full-range system. An easy-to-read LCD display offers monitoring of limiter status, input levels and other parameters at a glance. With convenient handles, pole mounts and fly points, the EKX-15SP can be deployed wherever you need powerful, high-quality bass.

Road-Ready Design

Although the EKX-15SP delivers enough power and performance for the largest venues, it's housed in a compact, lightweight 15mm. plywood enclosure that's ideal for portable and installed applications. The durable EVCoat finish and metal components are built to withstand the rigors of live touring. Multiple fly points and pole mounts provide flexible installation options for permanent setups. Overall, the EKX-15SP offers professional-grade power and performance in a package designed for real-world use.

    I already owned one EKX-15SP subwoofer and wanted a second. These match great with my older LiveX112P speakers and is so compact and lightweight.

  • I may replace my QSC Ksub with a second one of these

    This is the third subwoofer in my system. My first subwoofer was the QSC Ksub, second was the QSC KW181. The QSC KSub, at the time was compact enough to travel for home parties. I found myself easily hitting its limits so I purchased the QSC KW181. It was used for one party and couldn't easily transport it. I was recommended to purchase the EV EKX-15SP and even researched forums and youtube videos. All of them had great reviews so I went for it. I've only made an initial test, playing about 30 minutes of my preferred music and am very happy.

  • Nice Little Sub !

    The light weight will make you wonder at first, but once you hear them all those worries disappear. Nice punch, great definition, transparent sound. A pair of these with EKX12P's on top provided more than enough sound, with plenty of headroom, to fill a NYC restaurant/club with 150-200 in attendance. First was a 9 piece band, then a DJ... GREAT SOUND ALL NIGHT LONG
