An EKX Subwoofer: Electro-Voice Philosophy Serving Portable Sound Reinforcement
The Electro-Voice EKX-15S embodies the spirit of the EKX series: delivering serious sound quality and robust construction while remaining suitable for mobile setups. In a sound system installation, this passive subwoofer complements main speakers by providing the essential impact and foundation for kick drums, bass, synths, or electronic tracks, without unnecessarily adding bulk.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The EKX-15S is aimed at sound professionals, DJs, bands, and venues looking to enhance their sound with a reliable passive subwoofer. It is particularly well-suited for events requiring present yet clean bass: parties, small to medium-sized concerts, speeches with musical backgrounds, or satellite + subwoofer systems. Its 15" format offers a good balance between size, transportability, and sound pressure level.
Design, Performance, and Passive System Integration
In passive configuration, system coherence depends as much on the subwoofer as on amplification and filtering. The EKX-15S is rated at 400 W continuous and 1600 W peak at 8 ohms, allowing it to be paired with a suitable amplifier and processor (or crossover) to optimize efficiency and protect the driver.
Usable Bass and Stage-Appropriate Response
Its frequency response is specified as 60 Hz to 100 Hz (-3 dB) and 40 Hz to 300 Hz (-10 dB). This naturally positions it to reinforce bass in a system where the subwoofer takes over below the main speakers' working range. For safer and better-controlled use, a recommended high-pass frequency of 35 Hz is advised to limit unnecessary excursion in the extreme low end.
Built to Last
The 15 mm plywood enclosure with internal bracing is designed to withstand the rigors of transport and use. The EVCoat finish and 18 AWG steel grille with reinforcement bar and powder coating effectively protect the driver. Daily handling is facilitated by 2 handles, while the M20 threaded socket allows mounting a satellite speaker on a pole, convenient for compact setups.
