Unity™ Series
U15 Speaker - 800w 15 / 3x5 inch / 1 inch
Yorkville U15 Loudspeaker
Engineered for
the serious pro audio user, the U15 is among the most advanced,
most versatile and most efficient high-powered portable P.A. box
available in the market today. The U15 is a radical loudspeaker
cabinet design utilizing the patented Unity™ Summation Aperture
Horn Technology, which was invented by loudspeaker designer Tom
Danley and licensed from Sound Physics Labs Inc. The U15
provides remarkably even high / mid frequency distribution from
the 60º x 60º horn assembly.
The combination of the conical, constant directivity horn, 15" new
technology Neodymium woofer and our unending attention to details,
right down to the ideal trapezoidal shaped cabinet has yielded an
extremely versatile product. The U15 Unity™ horn combines
a single 1 inch throat (1.75" diaphragm) compression driver with
three 5-inch ceramic magnet midrange drivers on a single highly
efficient conical horn. This combines high and mid frequencies driver
components in a single 60º x 60º conical horn that produces frequencies
from 300Hz to 20kHz. Added to all this is the new technology, ultra
lightweight Neodymium 15” woofer to complete the package.
The U15 can be easily bi-amplified by way of a switch on
the rear jackplate, or used with any élite series subwoofer for
extended low frequency support. The UP15 Unity™ processor,
designed specifically to optimize the sonic characteristics of the
U15 has also been developed to ensure trouble free, “plug-and-play”
full range or Bi-amp operation with or without a subwoofer.
The compact and ultra efficient U15 is a trapezoidal shaped,
800 watt cabinet with a carefully chosen crossover point to seamlessly
match the directivity characteristics of the conical horn to the
neodymium woofer. With such a compact footprint and weight, the
U15 easily finds its home as a FOH speaker, drum monitor,
side fill, front or down fill or virtually any situation where a
professional quality sound reinforcement system is required. The
unparalleled sonic clarity and smooth frequency response also makes
it great for music playback. With pre-recorded music the U15
has the hi-fidelity to put it on par with some of the best studio
reference monitors. But unlike traditional studio reference monitors,
the U15 is capable if putting out a very high-efficiency
800 watts into 4ohms. The trapezoidal shape was designed with multi-box,
tight pack arraying in mind.
Looking at a polar plot for a 3 box, tight-pack array one would
notice how extremely well behaved it is. Furthermore, due to the
nature of the conical horn, the polar pattern remains quite constant
regardless of any vertical, or off axis rotation put upon it. It
acts the same on all vertical axis, making it ideal for use upright
or on its’ side, without the need to ever rotate the horn.
