2-way passive full range system in a compact vented trapezoidal enclosure.

A 2-way passive full range system in a compact vented trapezoidal enclosure. It incorporates a 15 in woofer and a 1 in exit/2 in voice coil compression driver mounted to a 90 degrees x 45 degrees constant directivity horn. It comes with handles, rubber foot-pads, a pole mount cup, and three 3/8-16 mounting points. An internal passive crossover network uses complex asymmetrical filters to divide the signal and performs critical equalization functions.

Applications
The FR159z provides high output full range response in a versatile, compact system. It offers entry-level access to a high quality, truly professional loudspeaker system for musicians and DJs servicing small to medium venues. The FR159z is designed primarily for portable applications, but mounting points are provided for installation applications. The FR159z is optimized for use with the FR250z dual 15 in subwoofer system, which also serves as a pole mount base. In such a configuration, an optional 5 ft mounting pole positions the FR159z's HF horn above the heads of audience members for optimum coverage.
