The extended low-frequency range makes the CX 15 ideal for bass-intensive applications (e.g. as a drumfill) or as an unobtrusive FoH system with a strong bass. Like every CONTOUR X model, it has a very analytical resolution and exemplary fidelity. The CX 15 easily covers full-range sound applications, close-range sound applications with high SPL requirements, e.g. as an FoH top, frontfill, sidefill or drumfill, and monitoring on large stages. To create symmetrical monitor pairs, the CX 15 is available in both left and right versions.
