DESCRIPTION

The MQ1215 uses two direct radiating 15 inch cones mounted in a vented trapezoidal enclosure. Its frequency response has been optimized for use as a dedicated low frequency system when used with a companion MQ mid/high loudspeaker. Each driver has its own connections on the input panel. This allows the drivers to be connected in parallel to one amplifier chan- nel or connected individually to separate amplifier channels. The enclosure features a comprehensive system of 3/8-16 threaded suspension points.

APPLICATION

The MQ Series comprises matched sets of mid/high and low fre- quency enclosures with complementary dimensions. This facil- itates creating attractive arrays that provide high definition sound within tightly controlled coverage areas. The MQ1215 is designed to work with a complementary MQ1300 Series mid/high loudspeaker to create a full range audio system. The enclosure is vertically configured for arraying in horizontal rows. Horizontal arrays are typically used in venues where the array must address wide, fan-shaped audiences.

The most common array configuration is two MQ1364e's or MQ1366e's separated by a single MQ1215. In such an array, the MQ1364e's or MQ1366e's should be splayed 25° to either side of the MQ2315, netting a splay angle of 50° between mid/high modules. When arraying two MQ1394e's separated by a single MQ1215, all enclosures should be tight-packed to achieve opti- mal coverage. This configuration will net a splay angle of 80° between mid/high modules. All splay angles reference the cen- ter line of the enclosures.
