Rated 4.9 (120 reviews)
The Martin Audio XE500 is a high output 15 inch coaxial stage monitor built around a Differential Dispersion drive unit. It pairs a 15 inch LF driver with a 1.4 inch exit HF compression driver behind a horn that opens from 30 degrees at the rear to 60 degrees over the wedge, keeping level and tonal balance consistent across the performer’s working area. Designed for bi-amp operation with the iK42 amplifier, it suits touring monitor rigs, corporate stages and houses of worship requiring high SPL floor monitoring.
