avassets new products SUBWOOFER Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems has announced the availability of the Nexo RS15 low-profile high-output, modular, scalable bass cabinet. The first in the RS (Ray Sub) Series, the RS15 is capable of operating in both omni-directional and cardioid modes. Comprised of a 15-inch transducer with a frequency response of 35 Hz to 200 Hz in omni, or 35 Hz to 150 Hz in directional mode, and a sensitivity of 105 dB SPL, the versatile RS15 is ideal for system installations and touring requirements. Digital signal processing, via NX242-ES4 TD controllers, enables the RS15 to produce precise cardioid pattern control. The patent-pending Ray Sub technology is based on optimizing positioning and phase relationships of radiating surfaces in vented enclosures, permitting acoustic distance from rear to front sections to increase as frequency decreases. Rear and front sections sum efficiently over the entire subwoofer bandwidth, allowing for an average of 5 dB gain from the rear section in the forward direction and canceling in the rear direction. The NEXO RS15 is currently available at an MSRP of $3,800. Visit www.yamahaca.com, or call 714-522-9011.
