The 2-way 15” offers the perfect balance between 
size and performance. The PRX815W truly is an 
exception; it’s small, light weight, versatile and 
powerful with remote Wi-Fi control of onboard DSP 
EQ parameters. The performance and asymmetrical 
design make this a perfect choice for musicians, 
entertainers and DJ’s when portability is key, or when 
hung by the suspension points, an exceptional light-
duty installation speaker. All PRX800 Series speakers 
were designed to excel in sound reinforcement 
where challenging audio environments and loud 
volumes are the norm. For applications requiring 
full bandwidth sound reproduction, the PRX815W 
delivers the optimum balance. For live music, 
recorded music playback and speech the user has the 
option of tailoring the EQ. A microphone can be 
directly connected to the speaker input for quick PA 
applications. Coupled with a PRX800 sub-woofer the
