RCF Q 15 - 1500W 15-inch Passive 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker with 60 x 22.5-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF Q 15 is a high-performance 15-inch passive 2-way loudspeaker designed for mid-distance and long-throw applications. With its impressive 1500W power handling capacity, it combines exceptional clarity, power, and reliable sound reproduction. The Q 15 incorporates RCF's advanced transducer technology, featuring a 15-inch neodymium woofer and a 4-inch titanium-neodymium compression driver. Together, these components deliver outstanding output and precise directivity, making it ideal for a range of applications that demand clear speech and music reproduction.

The Q 15 is designed with a trapezoidal cabinet, which offers a 22.5-degree coupling angle on each side for effective coverage. Its compact size belies its impressive performance, allowing for seamless integration in various settings, from point-source configurations for mid-distance applications to clusters of up to eight modules for long-throw applications. The robust construction features a Baltic birch plywood enclosure with a highly durable textured black polyurea finish, ensuring resilience against scratches, weather, and harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, the steel front grille, which has a woven fabric backing, protects the internal components from dust while maintaining acoustic transparency.

This speaker is engineered for bi-amplification, with dual Neutrik Speakon NL4 connectors providing dedicated amplification for both the low-frequency and high-frequency drivers. The Q 15's acoustic performance is finely tuned, with a frequency response extending from 45 Hz to 20 kHz and a maximum SPL of 138 dB at 1 meter, ensuring it delivers robust sound coverage for both speech and music in large venues. The 60-degree vertical and 22.5-degree horizontal coverage angles provide constant directivity, ensuring even sound distribution throughout the listening area. These characteristics make the Q 15 highly suitable for fixed installations that require both high-quality sound and discrete aesthetics.

RCF's engineering expertise is evident in the careful selection and matching of components, ensuring the Q 15 delivers reliable performance over time. The ND940 titanium compression driver with a 4-inch voice coil provides excellent mid-frequency response, offering fast decay and superior vocal clarity. The 15-inch woofer complements this by handling lower frequencies efficiently, delivering clean and powerful bass. With a directivity index of 20, the Q 15 maintains its focus even at long distances, providing precise sound reproduction across the coverage area.

For installation, the Q 15 features multiple M10 suspension points on each side, facilitating flexible rigging options for both horizontal and vertical configurations. The speaker can be used in arrays with adjustable coverage angles, further enhancing its adaptability to different acoustical environments. Rigging accessories such as flybars, stainless steel plates, and spacing systems are available to optimize performance for large-scale installations. The integrated array mechanics and lightweight design ensure easy and safe installation, making the Q 15 a reliable choice for professional audio systems.
