L-Acoustics - X15 HiQ
The L-Acoustics X15 HiQ is a 2-way passive coaxial point-source loudspeaker purpose-built for high-quality stage monitoring. A 15-inch cone driver pairs with a 3-inch neodymium compression driver behind an ellipsoid waveguide and L-Vents bass-reflex loading, delivering 138 dB maximum SPL with a tightly controlled 60 by 40 degree coverage pattern suited to performers who require detailed, high-output monitoring.

Applications
The X15 HiQ is used as a dedicated stage monitor for vocalists, instrumentalists, and audio engineers requiring high output with precise directional control. Its narrower 40 degree horizontal coverage reduces stage spill compared to wider monitors, while the coaxial driver arrangement preserves phase coherence across the bandwidth for a detailed listening experience at close monitoring distances.
Frequently asked questions
How does the X15 HiQ differ from the X12?
The X15 HiQ uses a 15-inch low-frequency driver rather than a 12-inch, achieves a higher maximum SPL of 138 dB versus 136 dB, and offers tighter directivity at 40 by 60 degrees versus 60 by 90 degrees, making it better suited to high-output monitoring with controlled stage spill.
What monitor angles are available for the X15 HiQ?
The X15 HiQ provides a 35 degree monitor angle without risers and 55 degrees when optional risers are fitted, allowing adjustment to suit different stage configurations.
What frequency range does the X15 HiQ cover?
The X15 HiQ covers 55 Hz to 20 kHz when driven by a compatible L-Acoustics amplified controller.
