Many key factors are to be considered when conguring the subwoofer
section of a loudspeaker system to perfectly match each application:
size/weight, logistic and operational setups, SPL needs, LF extension,
cost limitations, as well as sound engineer preferences (depending
on dierent the type and size of the event) or audio program
characteristics and regional style taste for subwoofer mixes.
BASSO Series models allow the user to choose the most adequate
subwoofer for any given situation from within a family of products with
common nish, design solutions and performance philosophy as well as
shared rigging and transport accessories.
BASSO15 is a 15” bass-reex subwoofer with a very compact design and
excellent power-density that make this loudspeaker a versatile tool for
installed sound reinforcement and portable FOH applications.
