1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Passive 15-inch two-way PA cabinet rated 250W continuous, 1,000W peak. For anyone already running an amp or powered mixer.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding to a rig that already has a power amp
- Small to mid-size rooms with a DJ or band
- Installs where the amps live in a rack offstage
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without an amplifier, since there's no power built in
- Players carrying gear solo, at nearly 50 lb
- Outdoor shows needing serious low end without a sub
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
8 ohms impedance
Two of these on one amp channel gives 4 ohms. Confirm your amp handles that load before wiring them in parallel.
Detail 03
250W continuous, 1,000W peak
Match your amp to the 250W continuous figure. Peak is short bursts only, not a sustained rating.
Detail 04
50Hz–22kHz frequency response
Reaches low enough for full-range music, but kick and bass synth will want a subwoofer under it.
Detail 05
80° x 50° dispersion
Wider than tall. Coverage spreads across a room rather than up at the ceiling, so aim it at ear height.
Detail 06
49.8 lb
A two-hand lift onto a stand. Plan on a helper or a pole-mount at waist height for load-in.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a power amp and speaker cable, neither included
- 02No stand, pole or cover in the box
- 03Check your amp delivers around 250W into 8 ohms
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need an amplifier for this speaker?
Yes. It's passive, so it needs an external power amp or a powered mixer. Roughly 250W per side into 8 ohms is the target.
02Can I run two off one amp channel?
Two 8-ohm cabinets in parallel present a 4-ohm load. Only do this if your amplifier is rated for 4 ohms.
03Will it fit on a speaker stand?
It has a pole socket for standard stands. At 49.8 lb, check your stand's weight rating and lift it with help.
04Do I need a subwoofer with it?
It reaches down to 50Hz, which covers most program material. For DJ sets or heavy kick, a sub adds the bottom octave.
