15-Inch Active PA Subwoofer for Clubs and Venues
The 15-inch Power Dynamics PDY215SA Active PA Subwoofer offers a practical solution for demanding event spaces. With a design focused on both versatility and reliability, this active sub supports immersive, full-bodied bass. Built for stages, clubs, and live venues, it combines high output with adaptable connectivity and controls.
Key Features and Benefits
900W Class D Amplification
The built-in class D amplifier delivers up to 900W max power (450W RMS), ensuring headroom for extended performances. Class D circuitry provides efficiency and consistent output. This means this PA subwoofer won't overheat, even after hours of use, giving both sound engineers and performers peace of mind during busy events.
15-Inch Woofer with Large Voice Coil
Fitted with a 15-inch ferrite woofer and a 3-inch voice coil, this active sub handles deep frequencies down to 35Hz. The result is a punchy, defined sub-bass that's present, never boomy. The larger coil supports higher SPL (up to 127dB), making this sub ideal in larger spaces where clarity counts.
Flexible Inputs and Outputs
Balanced XLR, 6.3mm Jack, and stereo RCA line inputs mean the PDY215SA sub can connect directly to mixing desks, DJ controllers, laptops, or other audio gear. Rear panel XLR outputs include both a full-range and a high-pass signal (for satellite speakers), letting you daisy-chain additional equipment or craft a split-frequency set-up with ease.
Customisable Crossover and Phase Control
An adjustable crossover (80Hz-150Hz) lets users match output to room size or paired tops. The phase switch (0-180 degrees) helps align timing with other PA elements, reducing phase cancellation and tightening overall bass response. Both features are invaluable in multi-speaker set-ups.
Roadworthy Build and Mounting Options
The subwoofer is housed in thick coated plywood, built to withstand regular transport. Integrated side handles and a 35mm tophat mount enable fast deployment and secure addition of satellite speakers above the sub.
Applications
Ideal for nightclubs, live event venues, and rental companies, the PDY215SA active PA subwoofer handles high-intensity environments and regular performances night after night. DJs and bands benefit from its loud, accurate low-frequency output, while event organisers appreciate flexible connectivity options when integrating with existing sound systems. The high-pass output simplifies setting up with tops for corporate events, weddings, or mobile sound hire. For fixed installations or portable rigs alike, the durable design and user-friendly controls reduce setup time and maintenance hassles.
Summary
The Power Dynamics PDY215SA active PA subwoofer balances power, connectivity, and user-focused features in a single, versatile unit. Its Class D amplifier guarantees headroom, while the 15-inch driver provides substantial, controlled bass. Optional inputs, a tailored crossover, switchable phase, and robust construction make it a great choice for audio professionals needing a reliable, adaptable active sub for any mid-to-large venue environment.
