BASSBOSS SSP215-MK3 Dual 15" Powered Active Subwoofer

The SSP215-MK3 combines sensitivity, depth, power handling and fidelity. It offers amazing versatility and practicality for those who need a lot of low end for a wide variety of applications, particularly when space is limited. It delivers output comparable to a double-18" subwoofer from narrow spaces where double-18" subwoofers wouldn't fit. The SSP215-MK3 is equipped with extremely rugged, very high power handling, long excursion drivers in a carefully optimized cabinet that provides sufficient volume and port area to allow its 15" woofers to deliver as much depth as possible. It provides consistent output with minimal thermal compression thanks to the several effective but transparent protection systems that are part of the integrated signal processing. The multiple protection systems work independently to prevent over-excursion, thermal overload of the voice coils, and minimize long-term thermal compression. Since they work independently, reacting to different stimuli, their effect on the transient response and peak output of the loudspeaker is almost imperceptible.

The SSP215-MK3 achieves extremely flat frequency response, measuring +-1dB from 35Hz to 100Hz. No equalization is utilized to achieve this response. Unlike designs that require equalization to achieve their specified response, the SSP215-MK3's response is part of the cabinet design, so that the sensitivity of the speaker remains consistent through its operating range. This allows it to achieve higher SPL at lower frequencies using less power than systems that require bass-boost EQ to achieve their stated response. This design philosophy is how BASSBOSS subs can deliver more SPL at lower frequencies without needing more power. Versatility is one of the SSP215-MK3s greatest strengths. The performance of the SSP215 can be compared to almost any double-18" sub on the market but will fit where they don't. Taking up 50% less space than the SSP218, and delivering almost the same sound levels over very nearly the same frequency range, the SSP215 allows big sound to be hidden in small spaces. If you need a serious sub to fit under a low stage, this is it. If you need to fly a sub under a low ceiling, this is it. If you need a sub to go under a seating or banquette platform, this is it. If you need to hide a sub between roof support beams or Z-bar, this is it. If you need a sub to stand unobtrusively in a corner, this is it.
