Electro-Voice TX1152 - 2-way passive full-range system with 15” (60° × 40°) woofer in Tour X enclosure

The Electro-Voice TX1152 is a 2-way passive full-range loudspeaker from the Tour X series, designed to deliver high SPL and controlled coverage in portable and fixed installation applications. It combines a 15” SMX2151 woofer with a DH3 compression driver ( 1.25” titanium diaphragm) coupled to a rotatable 60° × 40° constant directivity horn , providing a stable pattern and smooth response up to 20 kHz. The trapezoidal enclosure is constructed of wood (plywood + MDF) with EVCoat coating and a 16 GA steel grille with rotating logo, ensuring rigidity, durability and a professional appearance.

With 100 dB sensitivity and 133 dB maximum rated SPL, the TX1152 handles 500 W continuous ( 2000 W peak ) into 8 Ω . Frequency response extends from 40 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB) ( 55–20 kHz (-3 dB) ) and the manufacturer recommends a 40 Hz high-pass to protect the system in demanding applications. For everyday integration it incorporates 2 Neutrik Speakon NL4 parallel connectors , a tripod/mount shoe and 6 3/8” threaded suspension points . Dimensions: 776 × 446 × 446 mm . Weight: 27.8 kg . Black finish.
