Power Dynamics PD Combo 1500 - Active Sound System with 15" Subwoofer and 2 x 8" Satellites
The Power Dynamics PD Combo 1500 is a 2.1 active sound system designed to deliver power, clarity, and portability in a single package. With a maximum power output of 1500W, this system is the perfect solution for mobile DJs, musicians, presenters, and event organizers who need reliable and easily transportable equipment. Its all-in-one design integrates a powerful 15-inch subwoofer and two 8-inch satellite speakers, driven by a high-efficiency Class D amplifier and an intelligent digital sound processor (DSP) that ensures optimal and consistent audio reproduction in any situation.
The heart of the system is the active subwoofer, which not only houses a 15-inch woofer with a robust 3-inch voice coil for reproducing deep bass frequencies from 35Hz, but also contains the amplification module for the entire system. This amplifier delivers 500W RMS to the subwoofer itself and 150W RMS to each of the two satellite speakers. The top speakers, equipped with an 8-inch midrange driver and a 1-inch tweeter, handle the reproduction of mid and high frequencies with exceptional clarity, from 120Hz to 18kHz. The result is a balanced, powerful, and full-range sound, ideal for party rooms, pubs, clubs, and medium-sized events.
