Know before you buy
Yes, the enclosure is designed with an angled side specifically for floor monitor placement. You can toggle the DSP settings to 'Monitor' mode to optimize the frequency response for this application.
Not necessarily. The DXR15mkII features a built-in 3-channel mixer, allowing you to connect microphones, instruments, or line-level devices directly into the back of the speaker.
D-Contour is an intelligent multi-band compressor that adjusts the output of each frequency range based on your volume level. It ensures the sound remains clear and balanced whether you are playing at low volumes or pushing the speaker to its limit.
Yes, the ABS cabinet is engineered to be both lightweight for transport and rugged enough to withstand the rigors of professional use. It is a standard material choice for high-end portable PA speakers due to its excellent impact resistance.
FIR-X tuning uses linear phase FIR filters to provide a smooth crossover between the 15-inch woofer and the compression driver. This results in more accurate sound imaging and prevents phase issues that can occur with traditional crossover designs.
