ESD15
3-way Passive speaker
The new ESD15 incorporates a unique coaxial 15" transducer with a 1.75" Nitride Titanium Neodymium Compression Driver on a wide dispersion 80 x 60 degree horn. While most coaxial speakers will try to cover the full frequency response, the ESD15’s coaxial driver only covers bass and highs, leaving the all-important mid-range to a 6" neodymium speaker mounted on a large 80 x 60 degree horn. This resolves the issue of the 15" driver trying and failing to reproduce mid-range, a common problem with conventional coaxial designs. The ESD15’s unique design provides extremely flat, full-range reproduction from a compact yet powerful package that outperforms speakers twice its size, weight, and price.
