The SM159zi is a compact, professional loudspeaker designed for dual-purpose stage monitor and PA use. Its 15-inch low frequency transducer generates a strong low end, without boominess. The smooth HF response and high output capability cuts through stage sound for quality monitoring and provides good projection for PAuse.

The low profile and compact size are ideal for situations where small physical size is needed, without sacrificing professional performance. Integral mounting points accept a third-party, external, stand adapter for pole mounting, such as the K&M™ 195/8 or Ultimate Support™ BMB-200K.

Portable usage is enhanced by the heavy-duty enclosure construction, foam-backed steel grille, and integral handles. The connector panels on each side have dual jacks for reliable input and loop through connections.

Applications include use as a stage monitor or as a PA loudspeaker for band PA, TV productions, corporate events, theatres, houses of worship, and live music clubs.

Six year warranty.
