ST. LEONARDS-ON-SEA, EAST SUSSEX, U.K. — Penn Elcom, the exclusive North American distributor of Fane loudspeakers, is proud to announce the arrival of the Fane Colossus Prime 15XS, 15-inch woofer designed for all professional audio applications, and boasting performance specs of 1,200 watts continuous (4,800 watt peak) power handling. The Colossus Prime 15XS exhibits 98 dB sensitivity and can deliver bass down to 29 Hz (-6 dB) in a 200 liter ported enclosure.
The Prime 15XS is intended for use as a high-output bass driver in multi-way systems and features a 4-inch “sandwich’ (inside and outside windings) voice coil, immersed in a symmetric magnetic field yielding increased linearity and lower distortion. This, coupled with laminated silicone suspensions, a large Xmax of 12mm with peak-to-peak travel of 60mm, ensures fast, accurate bass at high levels of excursion.

The polycellulose cone membrane is much stronger and more durable than conventional paper pulp alternatives. This allows the driver to combine high-sensitivity with the structural integrity required to produce undistorted low frequencies at extreme sound pressure levels. The driver handles 1,200 Watts (AES) continuous and can cope with peaks in excess of 4,800 Watts. This is due to advanced thermal management in the form of vented die-cast chassis and increased motor system venting. These measures effectively remove heat from the voice coil, resulting in extremely low-power compression.
