The new ETX Powered Loudspeakers family builds upon the industry-leading innovation and 85-year heritage of Electro-Voice audio engineering to offer the most advanced professional portable powered loudspeakers available today.
A versatile high-end choice for live entertainment venues, rental companies, pro musicians and DJs, and installed sound, the ETX Powered Loudspeakers family features three two-way models (10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch, all with a precision HF titanium compression driver), a three-way model (15-inch with a 6.5-inch MF driver and a precision HF titanium compression driver) and two subs (15-inch and 18-inch drivers).
Positioned above the ZLX and Live X families respectively, ETX Powered Loudspeakers complete a trio of recent EV portable loudspeaker offerings-each of which was designed to bring best-in-class performance to its price point.
Inside each low-profile, tour-grade wood enclosure are a host of unique new features that set ETX Powered Loudspeakers apart, combining intelligent technology and innovative industrial design for spectacular results across all applications. EV-engineered high-efficiency transducers and high-powered Class-D amplifiers, Signal Synchronized Transducers (SST) waveguide design and smart FIR-Drive DSP all work together to provide peerless EV sound quality and precise coverage at the highest SPLs.

The Avant series incorporates an impressive battery of high tech features that take powered portable systems to a new level of performance. The latest in Class D power amplification, digital signal processing and optimized D.A.S. components have been combined with enclosures designed for ease of  transportation and road worthiness.

The 600 W Class D amplifier provides extended bandwith, improved dynamic range and exceptionally low distortion. This makes the Avant series one of the best sounding systems on the market. After all, isn´t quality sound what it´s all about?

The Digital Signal Processsing (DSP) incorporated in the Avant series provides unparalleled control over the audio signal. Critical parameters have been fine tuned for each cabinet, yet their consistent sound "signature" allows them to perform seamlessly with other systems from the Avant family.

The 15AV4 loudspeaker designed and built by D.A.S. provides powerful low frequency reproduction. High frequencies are handled by the M-50N compression driver which uses a neodymium magnet structure and 2" titanium diaphragm for exceptional perormance in all types of applications.

Technical Data

GENERAL

The PSA Systems JB-15 is the active variant of the PS-15. This active full range speaker has a built-in amplifier of the bi-amp type and delivers 300 watts RMS. In combination with the active crossover the audio signal is distributed efficiently on a woofer and tweeter. The PSA-15 has a 15-inch woofer, which effortlessly displays the low frequencies, starting at 40Hz. Here he is fed with less than 245 watts. The 1.35-inch compression driver takes it high for his account and get 55 watts of power. This was in fact the RMS power; peaks that are higher are no problem for the amplifier. You are assured of a solid, non-pinched sound.

The PSA-15 has a smooth shaped casing made of polypropylene. A light but very strong type of plastic, which is good for long-term protection of the internal components. In addition, he is very practical, with a built-in carrying handle, M8 mounting points, a 35 mm stand adapter and support for monitor use. The latter is excellent as possible, thanks to the angle of the housing.

The back contains the connections with two microphone inputs (XLR, 6.3 mm jack) and a line input (XLR, RCA). The inputs and outputs are balanced. As per the level can be controlled, there is also a master volume and a two-band tone control devices. The PSA 15 is very suitable for mobile use and permanent installation and can be used as PA speaker and be used as a monitor. Monitor Brackets are included.
