Electro-Voice TX2152 - Passive 2-way full-range system with dual 15” (60° × 40°) for high SPL

The Electro-Voice TX2152 is the flagship of the Tour X series in passive full-range format: a 2-way system featuring two 15” SMX2151 woofers and an ND2-8 compression driver (2” diaphragm, 1” exit), designed to deliver very high SPL with smooth response and directivity control in mid-range applications. The trapezoidal enclosure combines plywood and MDF , with internal bracing and EVCoat coating for maximum resistance; the 16 GA steel grille with rotating logo protects the system on tours and rentals.

Its 60° × 40° rotatable constant directivity waveguide maintains consistent coverage whether mounted vertically or horizontally. The advanced 6th order crossover (approx. 1.75 kHz ) includes HF protection, providing long-term reliability. In terms of performance, it delivers 103 dB sensitivity, 1000 W continuous (up to 4000 W peak ), 4 Ω nominal impedance and a maximum calculated SPL of 139 dB , with a working range of 50 Hz–18 kHz (-10 dB) and a recommended high-pass at 40 Hz . For integration, it offers two Neutrik Speakon NL4 connectors , integrated four-way handles, and six 3/8” threaded points (2 per side and 2 rear) for suspension in fixed installations.

Main features

• Acoustic architecture: 2-way with 2 × 15” SMX2151 (LF) and ND2-8 (HF, 2” titanium diaphragm, 1” output).
• Controlled coverage: 60° × 40° rotatable (constant directivity) to adapt orientation.
• Filter and protection: 6th-order crossover with HF protection ; crossover frequency approx. 1.75 kHz .
• Performance: 103 dB (1 W/1 m), 1000 W continuous / 4000 W peak , 4 Ω , 139 dB SPL max. (calc.).
• Frequency response: 55–13 kHz (-3 dB) / 50–18 kHz (-10 dB) ; Recommended HPF 40 Hz .
• Construction: MDF + plywood enclosure with EVCoat , 16 GA steel grille and rotating logo.
• Mounting/rigging: 6 3/8” threaded points (2 per side, 2 rear); compatible with EV EBK-1 eyebolts (optional).
• Connectivity: 2 × Speakon NL4 in parallel; flush-mounted panel.
• Ergonomics: Integrated multi-grip handles and dimensions coordinated with the TX2181 ground-stack sub.
• Applications: Main PA in clubs and small/medium-sized events, with excellent pattern control at medium distance.

Product benefits

• High impact with less effort: High sensitivity (103 dB) and motor/woofer design allow high levels to be achieved with reasonable stages.
• Stable and predictable coverage: The 60° × 40° rotatable horn provides off-axis consistency and facilitates overlap between boxes.
• Touring ruggedness: EVCoat wood cabinet, 16 GA grille and rigging-ready hardware.
• Agile integration: double NL4, 3/8” points and dimensions coordinated with the TX2181 sub for column piles.

Use cases

• Main PA in halls, auditoriums and corporate events that require controlled coverage and high SPL.
• Stacked systems with TX2181 subwoofers for extended bass extension and impact.
• Fixed installation with suspension using 3/8” points in places of worship, theaters or multipurpose spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can the TX2152 be flown? Yes, it has six 3/8" threaded mounting points . Use certified hardware (e.g., EBK-1 kit) and comply with current regulations.
• What is the crossover cutoff? Approximately 1.75 kHz , with 6th-order slopes and HF protection.
• What is the recommended high-pass filter? 40 Hz to protect the transducers during demanding use.
• Is the speaker rotatable? Yes, 60° × 40° to adapt the coverage to the speaker's orientation.
