DAS Audio Vantec 15 - 2000W 15-inch Passive 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 50-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DAS Audio Vantec 15 is a powerful and versatile 2-way passive loudspeaker designed for professional audio applications that demand high performance and portability. This full-range loudspeaker features a robust 15-inch FV series low-frequency transducer and a 1-inch FEM optimized compression driver, ensuring exceptional sound quality across a wide frequency range. The Vantec 15 is engineered to deliver clear vocals and rich music reproduction, making it suitable for various environments, including live concerts, corporate events, and portable audio setups.

The cabinet of the Vantec 15 is constructed from high-quality birch plywood, which not only enhances durability but also helps reduce unwanted resonances, providing a cleaner sound output. The multi-angle design allows the speaker to be used effectively as a stage monitor, offering flexibility in its application. Finished with DAS's ISO-flex black paint, the loudspeaker is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and live performance, ensuring it maintains its professional appearance even after extensive use.

Performance specifications of the Vantec 15 are impressive, with a frequency range of 60 Hz to 20 kHz, allowing it to reproduce a full spectrum of audio. The horizontal coverage of 90° and vertical coverage of 50° enable efficient sound dispersion, making it ideal for larger venues where sound needs to be evenly distributed throughout the audience. The nominal impedance of 8 ohms, coupled with an RMS power handling capacity of 500 W and peak power handling of 2000 W, ensures that the speaker can handle high output levels without distortion.

With an on-axis sensitivity of 99 dB SPL at 1W/1m, the Vantec 15 is highly efficient in producing sound, while the maximum peak sound pressure level (SPL) of 135 dB at 1 meter allows it to fill large spaces with powerful audio. For optimal performance and reliability, it is recommended to pair the Vantec 15 with amplifiers such as the PA-1500.

Connectivity options are straightforward, featuring a speakON NL4 audio input and output connector for secure and reliable wiring during installation. The enclosure includes two bar handles with soft rubber inserts for comfortable transportation and setup, as well as a rugged steel grille that protects the drivers from damage during use. Additionally, the Vantec 15 is equipped with a 35 mm tripod socket that features a dual-angle (0°/10°) mount, allowing for easy stand mounting in various configurations.

With dimensions of 28.3 x 18.0 x 17.5 inches and a net weight of 51.8 lbs, the Vantec 15 is manageable for transport and installation, making it a practical choice for audio professionals seeking a powerful and adaptable loudspeaker solution. Its built-in rigging points (M10) provide further versatility for permanent installations, making it an excellent choice for a variety of sound reinforcement applications.
