Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the A15i WIDE and A15i FOCUS?
The A15i WIDE uses a 30-degree vertical enclosure angle for broad near-to-mid-field coverage and reaches 141 dB maximum SPL, while the A15i FOCUS uses a 10-degree angle for long-throw narrow-vertical applications and reaches 144 dB maximum SPL. Both share the same 15-inch LF and 3-inch HF transducers and IP55 rating.
How does the A15i WIDE differ from the touring A15 WIDE?
The A15i WIDE is the installation version with an IP55 weather-resistance rating and a slightly reduced weight of 29 kg compared to 33 kg for the touring A15 WIDE. Both share the same transducers, 141 dB SPL, and 42 Hz to 20 kHz bandwidth.
What amplifier is required to reach 141 dB SPL on the A15i WIDE?
The 141 dB maximum SPL is achieved with an L-Acoustics LA2Xi in bridge mode, LA4X, LA8, or LA12X amplified controller.
