. Audio signal inputs and links through speakON® NL4 connectors. 

 

They are connected in parallel between them and with the two front connectors. 

With the NL4 topology of these two 

Input / Link

 connections, it is possible to handle two 

signals over the 1+/1- and 2+/2- poles. Depending on the application, it can be the same signal 

traveling over both.

®

 NL4 connector to pass the signal present in 

 

the 2+/2- poles of the 

Input / Link

 1 and 2, and the front connectors. This signal outputs through 

 

the 1+/1- poles.

In example, this output can be used to deliver full-range signal to the top units in the system, 

simplifying the wiring between the amplifier and the speakers. Find more about this in the

B 15A SELF-POWERED SUBWOOFER

The 

B 15A

 is the self-powered version of the 

B 15

 subwoofer. It consists in a single 15" driver in a vented 

box, powered by an updated 800 W Class-D amplifier. Same as B-Line passive models, its improved port 

design smooths the airflow and maximises system capability.

Integrated DSP-presets allow to load different system setups to be used with different SE AUDIOTECHNIK

®

 

products. In addition, the Directivity function enables end-fire or cardioid setups and thus, control the 

sound radiation in the low frequencies.

Finally, its efficient design and compact size guarantees safe and versatile placement even in outdoor 

environments, where an additional rain-protection cover can be used to protect the amplifier panel 

from light rainfall.

Features

High SPL with deep bass and reduced enclosure size

DSP-Presets for easy subwoofer arrays setup

Built-in DSP and 800 W of class-D amplification

Simple to use LCD screen and rotary encoder controller

Improved feet for increased slip resistance

Robust and comfortable side handles

Wide range of supported applications

Available in black and white colours

15", 18" and 21" drivers respectively, mounted in a vented box. In addition to the speakON

®

 connectors 

on the back, these passive models include two additional located on the front. This guarantees wiring 

flexibility and ease of use, reducing setup time even in large configurations.
