EAW SB150zP-WP - 700W 15-inch Passive IP56-Rated Installation Subwoofer with 360-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW SB150zP-WP Black is a 700W, 15-inch passive subwoofer specifically designed for permanent installation in demanding environments. Part of EAW's premium SB series, the SB150zP-WP Black delivers exceptional low-frequency performance with a compact design, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium but deep, powerful bass is still required. Its high-output design and solid 15-inch driver make it perfect for a variety of professional settings, including A/V systems, meeting rooms, classrooms, exhibit areas, f/x reinforcement, cruise ships, cinemas, TV studios, restaurants, and small retail spaces. The subwoofer's IP56 rating makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, offering robust protection against dust and water, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments.

Featuring a direct radiating design with a vented, optimally tuned enclosure, the SB150zP-WP Black delivers high-output bass without distortion, maintaining clarity even at high volumes. The 15-inch cone driver is built to handle up to 700W of continuous power (AES), delivering deep, controlled bass that complements full-range loudspeakers. The subwoofer operates across a frequency range of 34 Hz to 145 Hz, ensuring low-end extension and precise bass reproduction. The single-amp LF configuration ensures optimal power handling, while the DSP with a 1-way filter optimizes the low-frequency response, providing the best possible performance.

The SB150zP-WP Black offers 360-degree coverage both horizontally and vertically, ensuring even bass distribution throughout the venue. Whether used in small spaces like retail environments or larger venues such as cruise ships or hotel ballrooms, the subwoofer ensures that bass frequencies are evenly distributed to all areas of the room, preventing "dead spots" and delivering a consistent sound experience. The calculated SPL of 121 dB average (whole space) and 127 dB average (half space) provides ample power for most professional environments. The subwoofer can achieve peak SPL levels of 127 dB (whole space) and 133 dB (half space), making it suitable for high-energy applications where punchy, impactful bass is required.

To optimize the subwoofer's performance, the SB150zP-WP Black is designed to be used with EAW's MX Series processors for the necessary crossover and equalization. The DSP and high-pass filter (30 Hz, 12 dB/octave Butterworth) protect the system by removing unwanted low-frequency content and ensuring the subwoofer performs at its best. The subwoofer's 8-ohm nominal impedance ensures compatibility with most amplifiers, while the minimum impedance of 6.9 ohms at 40 Hz allows for stable operation even at low frequencies.

The enclosure of the SB150zP-WP Black is constructed from durable Baltic birch plywood, known for its strength and resonance control, contributing to the subwoofer's long-term durability and high performance. The subwoofer is finished with a wear-resistant textured black paint, providing an attractive and professional appearance that blends well in both public and private settings. The vinyl-coated perforated steel grille offers protection to the 15-inch driver while ensuring that sound dispersion is not hindered. With compact dimensions of 24.62 x 19.68 x 19 inches and a weight of 72 lbs, the SB150zP-WP Black can be easily integrated into a variety of installation spaces without compromising on bass output or performance.
