Get pro-quality sound at an affordable price! With a 15" woofer and 500-watt power handling, the S115V is a staple for DJs, bands, and houses of worship. Unpowered. Requires separate power amplifier.

Yamaha's popular Club-series PA speakers are known for delivering pro-quality sound at an affordable price. Yamaha continues to refine their design with the fifth-generation Club V. Perfect for gigging bands, DJs, and houses of worship, the S115V loudspeaker combines rugged construction and advanced electronics to get your sound out to the crowd.

Improved Woofer Design

Better bass response in the new design adds depth to the music and improves your groove. For the S115V, Yamaha and Eminence Speaker Corporation developed a new 15-inch woofer, bringing a bigger boom to your bottom-end. Oversized magnets offer increased power handling and longer life, and the beefy, oxygen-free copper voice-coil reproduces rich, tight lows all the way down to 55Hz. The extra energy in this frequency range will help your audience feel the beat and connect with your sound. When you see the crowd respond to your music, it will push you to a whole new level in your performance. That's what turns an average gig into a truly memorable experience.

Large Titanium Tweeter

While it is important to firmly establish the groove at a live concert, high-frequency reproduction can make or break your set. If vocals or guitars sound harsh or tinny, even the funkiest bass line can fall flat. This loudspeaker system uses a pure titanium tweeter for natural, transparent highs up to 16kHz in any musical style. Wailing metal riffs and earthy roots chords come through with equal accuracy. The two-inch read more dome compression driver, among the largest in its class, floats vocal melodies and guitar solos out across the room with shimmering clarity. Your mix will have texture and detailed dynamics across the entire frequency spectrum. There's no need to work around the limitations of your PA system; these speakers are fully capable of delivering all of your music, just as you intend it to sound.

Custom-Engineered Horn

Have you ever had two people come up to you at the same show with two totally different impressions of your sound? It may have to do with where they were standing. The girl in the center of the room may think everything is great, while the guy back by the bar says the guitars are too muddy or the vocals sound muffled. The S115V's tweeter is coupled with a custom-engineered horn to disperse upper frequencies throughout the entire room. The 90 x 45-degree pattern provides a wide stereo image for an improved listening area. No more dead spots or prime locations; all your fans get to enjoy the same great mix.

Advanced Electronics

Bullet-proof crossover circuitry further rounds out the sound. Oversized coils, professional-grade power resistors, and high-voltage capacitors create a smooth midrange balance across the woofer and tweeter, even at high volumes. With 500 Watts of program power and 1000-Watt peaks, you can play any venue without pushing your loudspeakers past their limits. Indoors or outdoors, you'll get the same great results. Two pro-quality Speakon connectors and two 1/4-inch jacks per cabinet allow for versatile connection options and daisy-chaining of multiple enclosures. You can add S115V's to any power amplifier or powered-mixer setup with ease.

Rock-Solid Construction

Durability and long life are a big part of the Club V loudspeaker design. The S115V is affordable, but it isn't cheap. The cabinets are manufactured in the United States, then hand-assembled by skilled craftsman, discarding any defects. High-quality, void-free particleboard is used in cabinet construction. This material, produced from southern yellow pine, is strong, lightweight, and environmentally friendly. Its rigidity reduces internal vibrations, preventing unwanted distortion as the sound exits the cabinet. Durable carpet covers the wood, and the corners are protected by steel caps. Heavy-duty handles and a steel pole socket further ensure many years of reliable use. Working musicians depend on their PA systems to deliver their music, gig after gig. In many cases, the show can't go on without the PA. Club V speakers will always be ready to rock when you are.

Note: Unpowered speaker, requires separate power amplifier.

I bought a pair of these as the " third time is a charm". I was running a pair of "Frankensteined" 18" subs. ( low end Peavey cabs with Black Widows to replace 300 watt pro riders). The room I was in a large club with a low ceiling and I had trouble getting sound to the back. I tried powered 12" to no avail. Went to EV zlx powered 15" as I was concerned about weight. They always ran at limit. (Karaoke singers). I finally took a risk on the Yamaha Club V despite the weight. Ran them full range from a Peavey 3600 and was blown away! The true test was when I ran them in parallel with my subs outside and they carried 1/2 mile across a field! Other than the weight, these are killer! BTW, Zzounds payment plan made it really easy on my pocket!
