Description.
The FW15 15 inch coaxial, passive cardioid stage monitor provides 6 dB of low frequency attenuation in the rear hemisphere and tour-grade output in a low-profile package. Its neodymium coaxial transducer and 75°x75° horn provide optimal coverage for monitoring applications, and its large-format 3 inch compression driver assures HF headroom. The coaxial design, coupled with Fulcrum’s TQ™ DSP processing, allows stability and gain-before-feedback both on- and off-axis. The clarity and source separation of the FW15 allows performers to clearly distinguish their own voice and instrument amongst others. This capability benefits mix engineers as well as performers.
The FW15’s enclosure includes 40° and 55° angles for downstage and upstage distances respectively. Its road-ready, ergonomic design includes stout double-grille construction, 4 input options positioned close to the stage to reduce the visual impact of connected cables, and integrated dual-grip handles to facilitate carrying and packing into road cases.
The FW15’s unique TQPassive™ internal crossover is designed to work in conjunction with TQ™ processing. It provides the high efficiency, excellent damping, and precise directional control normally associated with bi-amplified operation, but it does not require a second amplifier and processor channel. There are no resistive components in the crossover to heat up, so its response remains consistent even at high levels.
The FW15’s high performance, aesthetic appeal, and cost effective operation makes it a compelling choice for A/V rental companies, live performance venues, corporate A/V, nightclub PA, theatrical productions, and more.
