Cerwin-Vega CVP-1152 2-Way Floor Monitor (1000 Watts, 1x15")

Keep your sound in check with this Cerwin-Vega floor monitor. It's a 2-way, bi-ampable system that spans a wide 59Hz-18.5kHz frequency range.

The Cerwin Vega CVP1152 2-way Floor Monitor is a Non-Amplified Speaker System. While non-amplified speakers are traditionally referred to as passive, there is nothing passive about the CVP speaker line. In-your-face bass, an aggressive look with the trademark Cerwin-Vega barbeque grill, pristine highs, rugged construction and high output levels allow the CVPs to match the performance of their biggest, baddest folded horns, a claim that very few speakers in the world can make.

To live up to this claim, the engineers at Cerwin-Vega have taken a fresh approach. Cast aluminum frames for strength and reliability, oversized magnets for output power, and even a few tricks gleaned from Cerwin-Vega's patented Stroker technology all ensure that the CVP speakers play loud, play strong, gig after gig. And the sound? By themselves, the CVP speakers provide monstrous SPL, and amazing low end with the fidelity of a studio monitor. For most gigs, a pair of CVP2153s or CVP-1152s will be all you will ever need. But if you really want to make some noise, pair a CVP with a Cerwin-Vega active or passive subwoofer, and the system will bring down the house!

Speaking of pairing, the CVP Series is designed to team up perfectly with any Cerwin-Vega subwoofer.

A rotatable horn for concise pattern control, a Mylar high frequency driver for smooth high end, 12 fly points for suspension, and bi amp functionality are just a few of the other powerful features of the CVP series. And don't forget about the read more look. A Cerwin-Vega System looks stunning, with brushed aluminum grills, rugged paint, and the trademark Cerwin-Vega red speaker surrounds. Cerwin-Vega speakers not only play loud, they look loud! read less

I am a mobile DJ and was looking for a new speaker setup for high end indoor gigs as my current setup while sounding great still, have been used mainly outdoors and are showing wear. I decided on my second rig to go all Cerwin Vega with Crown Amps and a DBX Driverack+ for these high end gis. Wne twith CV due to their looks Excellant speakers. They are dual use: Floor Monitor or Mains. Mine shipped as Mains (which I will be using them for in my Dj setup, so perfect) Pretty easy to convert to floor monitor by removing some screws and repositioning cones. They are heavier than my other 15" Mains. The craftmanship is superb. CV was spot on wrapping these in a rugged paint versus carpeting. Their grill is sexy! The sound quality is clear and loud.

Sound
These speakers put out crystal clear highs and solid mids/low. I have them connected to a Crown XLS 2000 via a DBX Driverack PA+. Every note is perfection without strain.

Features
These can be used as Floor Monitors or Mains. I use them as mains mounted over the top of a pair of CV AB-36Cs. Minor inconvenience if you need to bi-amp these as you'll be removing alot of screws from a back plate and side handle to access the jumper.

Ease of Use
Ease of use is excellant. Mine are connected to a DBX Driverack PA+ (which already has this model pre-programmed into it) plug and play

Quality
So pleased CV read more used a rugged paint instead of carper to surround the cabinets. These are alot heavier than my outdoor mains, the new handles are solid and make moving them easy

Value
Very much worth the price for both a very visually appealing speaker and quality sound

Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to reach out to manufacturer on this model so can't rate their quality yet

The Wow Factor
These are HOT and SEXY in both looks and sound

Musical Background:
long time mobile and club DJ

Musical Style:
all genre
