Detail 01
600W peak, 150W continuous
Match your amplifier to the 150-watt continuous figure. The 600-watt number describes brief transients, not what it takes all night.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A passive 15-inch two-way PA cabinet, 8 ohms and 150 watts continuous. For small venues and bands that already own a power amp or powered mixer.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bars and small clubs driven from an existing power amp
- Rehearsal rooms, school halls and community spaces on a budget
- Speech, acoustic sets and vocals where a sub isn't needed
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a power amp — there is no amplifier inside
- Solo load-ins; 48 lb per cabinet gets old fast
- DJ and kick-heavy music without a subwoofer underneath
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
Two of these on one amp channel present a 4-ohm load. Only wire them that way if the amp is rated for 4 ohms.
Detail 03
94 dB sensitivity
Middling efficiency. It takes real amplifier watts to get loud, so a small amp will run out of headroom before the cabinet does.
Detail 04
50Hz–20kHz response
Vocals and guitars are covered. Kick drum and bass synth thin out below the low end limit, so add a sub for those.
Detail 05
80° x 40° dispersion
Wide horizontally, narrow vertically. Aim it toward ear height or listeners standing off-axis lose the top end.
Detail 06
48.3 lb, 17.9 x 27 x 18.3 inches
A two-hand lift with a real footprint. Measure your vehicle before committing to a pair plus stands.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Passive design: you need a power amp or powered mixer to drive it
- 02Budget for speaker cable and stands on top of the price
- 03One cabinet covers a narrow slice; buy two for even coverage
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it have a built-in amplifier?
No. It is passive and needs an external power amp or a powered mixer. There is no power cord and no input gain control.
02What size amp should I run it with?
One stable at 8 ohms delivering roughly 150 watts continuous per channel. Extra headroom is fine as long as you keep levels under control.
03Do I need a subwoofer?
For speech, acoustic music and most bands, no. For DJ sets or heavy kick and bass, yes — output falls away at 50 Hz.
04Can I run two cabinets off one amp channel?
Two 8-ohm cabinets in parallel give the amp a 4-ohm load. Check the amplifier is rated for that before wiring it up.
