Powerful, clear, accurate low-end performance.
Designed to complement any full-range PA loudspeaker and a perfect
companion for the PreSonus® AIR-series full-range loudspeakers,
the AIR15s subwoofer delivers a powerful, clear, and accurate
low-end punch. With its 15-inch low-frequency transducer, driven
by 1,200 watts (dynamic) of Class D power, it provides plenty of
detailed bottom end— down to 35 Hz. And its compact form factor
make it equally well suited for mobile and installed applications.
Equally at home in mobile and installed systems.
Although it has a rugged, tour-grade birch enclosure, the PreSonus
AIR15s is much more compact and lightweight than you’d expect from a
subwoofer that can deliver this much power. With integrated provisions
for the included castor kit, ground-stacking provisions, and ergonomic
handles on both sides, it’s easy to transport for mobile applications,
while oering the features and performance needed for demanding
installs. The AIR15s sports two combo XLR and ¼” TRS line-level
inputs with level control, and throughputs are provided to connect
full-range systems or multiple subwoofers in larger systems. You can
even defeat the front power-indicator LED for low-visibility installs.
The perfect companion.
AIR15s subwoofers can be used with virtually any full-range loudspeaker
thanks to an onboard variable lowpass filter that allows you to dial in the
best crossover point for your system. Optimized settings are provided
for the AIR10, AIR12, and AIR15 full-range loudspeakers. Whichever
full-range speaker you choose, aligning the subwoofer to its full-
range companion will yield tighter bass response. AIR15s subwoofers
make it easy, with a variable alignment delay that properly aligns your
three-way system, whether the full-range loudspeaker is placed atop
the subwoofer, using the sub pole, or is placed a few feet away.
Easily create subwoofer arrays.
The AIR15s subwoofer provides the tools you need to create
both cardioid and endfire arrays with ease to keep excess energy
o the stage and in the audience where it is needed.

Creating a cardioid subwoofer array forms a more direct radiation pattern
and the AIR15s simplifies this with an onboard DSP preset: Just stack two
AIR15s subwoofers, with the top subwoofer facing away from the audience
and toward the stage, and then set the top subwoofer to use its Cardioid
DSP preset. Your two AIR-series subwoofers will then radiate in a directional
cardioid pattern, allowing greater steering control over low-frequency energy.

Alternatively, you may prefer to create an end-fire array for even more
o-axis rejection. Simply place two AIR15s subwoofers one in front of
the other facing the direction to which you want to steer your sub energy
and enable the Endfire preset on the rear AIR15s. Need to make a larger
subwoofer array? AIR subwoofers are equipped with a variable delay
and polarity invert so you can easily build more complex systems.
Now hear this.
With flexible connectivity; a rugged, tour-grade enclosure; and plenty of
Class D power, the AIR15s delivers the versatility and punch needed for
permanent installs. Yet it’s relatively lightweight and portable, making it
an excellent choice for mobile use. Although designed to complement
AIR-series full-range loudspeakers, the AIR15s is also an excellent
companion for third-party loudspeakers. Most important, it sounds great,
delivering outstanding low-end clarity and natural music reproduction.
