Know before you buy
The built-in 2-in/2-out Dante interface allows you to integrate the speaker directly into a digital audio network over standard Ethernet cables. This simplifies complex setups by reducing analog cable runs and providing high-quality, low-latency audio distribution.
Yes, with 2,000 watts of peak power and a 15-inch woofer, the DZR15-D is designed for high-output professional sound reinforcement. It is well-suited for larger spaces where clear, powerful projection is required.
The DZR15-D features onboard DSP that can be managed directly via the speaker's rear-panel LCD screen. This allows you to adjust EQ, delay, and routing presets without needing a computer or external controller.
Yes, the cabinet design includes an angled side, allowing you to lay the speaker on its side to function as a stage monitor. The DSP also includes specific presets to optimize the frequency response for floor-wedge applications.
No, the DZR15-D includes standard analog inputs, so you can connect it directly to a traditional mixer using XLR or TRS cables. The Dante connectivity is an additional feature, not a requirement for standard operation.
The 2-inch HF driver provides a wider, more consistent dispersion pattern and handles high-frequency transients with greater clarity than smaller drivers. This results in crisp, detailed vocals and instruments that remain clear even at high volumes.
