Behringer PK 115 - Passive 15-inch Speaker

A Speaker Designed for Portable Sound Reinforcement in the PK Range

The Behringer PK115 embodies the spirit of "ready-to-go" sound reinforcement speakers: a robust format, easy to transport and simple to set up, while maintaining a genuine capacity to fill a room. Within the PK range, the goal is clear: to offer a versatile passive speaker suitable for common configurations (front-of-house speaker on a stand, stage monitor, occasional reinforcement), with an effective sound signature and generous dispersion.

Its 15-inch format positions it as a relevant choice when more low-end foundation is needed than a 12-inch speaker provides, especially for projected vocals, keyboards, backing tracks, or musical content requiring a stronger bass foundation.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

The PK115 is aimed at musicians, DJs, associations, multipurpose venues, establishments, service providers, and technical teams who want a passive speaker that is easy to integrate into an existing system. It is particularly suitable if you already have a power amplifier (or powered head) and want to add a pair of efficient speakers for front-of-house or to complement an existing sound system.

Thanks to its nominal dispersion of 70deg H x 50deg W and its easy-to-handle format, it is used both in live sound reinforcement (bands, vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards) and in portable sound reinforcement (speeches, events, animations). It can also serve as a monitor depending on the stage setup and coverage needs.

Acoustic Design, Durability, and Practicality

Drivers Designed to Work Together

The PK115 is based on a 2-way architecture with a 15-inch long-excursion woofer for powerful bass and good headroom, paired with a 1-inch compression tweeter to ensure clear high-frequency reproduction. The system is designed to deliver an impactful sound with articulated mids and present highs, useful for vocals and instruments that need to "cut through" the mix.

Exponential Horn: Projection and Coverage

The large-format exponential horn is designed to provide wide dispersion, practical when the audience is spread out (multipurpose room, place of worship, community event) or when the speaker is placed high on a stand. The result is better perceived uniformity in the listening area and stable intelligibility when moving off-axis.

Transport and Installation: Field-Oriented Design

When quick and frequent setup is required, ergonomics matter as much as sound. The PK115 focuses on robust construction and ergonomic handles to facilitate handling. The 35 mm pole mount allows immediate stand mounting, and the 4-pin Speaker Twist connectors help secure connections, especially during events.

With its compact dimensions and controlled weight, it easily integrates into a mobile setup while maintaining a sound presence capable of supporting high sound pressure levels.
