It handles 750 W continuous (AES) and reaches 134 dB maximum SPL from a compact plywood enclosure with an integrated rigging frame. It is the full-range top of the AUDAC FX series, designed to pair with the FX1.18 18\" subwoofer for sports venues, event spaces, concert halls and large outdoor PA deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC FX3.15 work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/FX3.15_reflection.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC FX3.15 high-output 3-way loudspeaker cabinet\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FX3.15 is an active-driven cabinet: there is no passive crossover inside, so each of the three sections is filtered by an external DSP and powered by its own amplifier channel. AUDAC allocates 500 W RMS to the mid-bass section, 200 W RMS to the mid section and 50 W RMS to the high section, which keeps each driver in its optimal band and gives the system designer full control over crossover points, EQ and limiting. AUDAC's connection manual shows a single 4-channel amplifier driving one cabinet, with two channels bridged for the 15\" section and one channel each for mid and high. In practice that makes a four-channel DSP amplifier such as the AUDAC SMQ500 or SMQ750, with WaveDynamics processing, the natural drive source for this tri-amped loudspeaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 90° x 40° horn carries both the mid and high-frequency drivers and can be rotated, so the same cabinet can be flown horizontally or vertically and positioned left or right without losing pattern control. Signal and amplifier feeds land on two 8-pin Speakon-compatible connectors, which allows link-through when multiple identical cabinets run in the same system. The ±3 dB response of 130 Hz to 20 kHz (85 Hz at -10 dB) is intentional: the FX3.15 is voiced to hand low frequencies off to a dedicated subwoofer, which is why AUDAC packages it with the FX1.18 and the BASSO infra-subwoofer range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/imagemaps\/FX3.15.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC FX3.15 driver layout with rotatable horn and rigging frame\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure is 18 mm (0.71\") solid plywood finished in weatherproof, scratch-resistant DuraCoat textured paint, with eight integrated carry handles and a metal rigging frame that lets multiple FX cabinets be flown together.
