XPRS2 Series: Core Features

1. Powerful Class D Amplification. The XPRS2 Series employs Class D amplification with high output wattage for a powerful and premier audio experience for performers and listeners alike. The XPRS102 and XPRS122 full-range speakers feature Class D 2000 W amplification, while the XPRS1152S and XPRS1182S subwoofers offer Class D 4000 W amplification.
2. High-Quality, Robust Build. The all-new XPRS2 Series speakers feature sleek all-black, protective plywood cabinets for performance in harsh outdoor and indoor environments. The series models all come with a durable handle to support system portability and handling during setup and take down. The XPRS2 Series also features rubber feet to create separation and shock absorption between surfaces.

 

XPRS2 Full-Range Speakers: XPRS102 and XPRS122

1. Four DSP Modes. Both of the XPRS2 full-range speakers contain four different DSP preset modes – Live, Music, Speech, and Floor Monitor – to address the needs of different listening environments.
2. 16 Customizable User DSP Modes. In addition to the four presets, each XPRS2 full-range speaker includes 16 custom user DSP modes – which can be saved with different names – to ensure the EQ settings are maximized for every scenario.
3. XPRS102 Full-Range Speaker Design. The XPRS102 pairs a 10” woofer and 2.5” voice coil with a 1” exit compression driver and 1.75” voice coil to deliver pristine audio performance. Complete with a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 129 dB and frequency response of 50 Hz–20 kHz, the XPRS102 full-range speakers help ensure music and spoken word reproduction is accurate and performs as intended.
4. XPRS122 Full-Range Speaker Design. The XPRS122 is the larger full-range speaker counterpart in the XPRS2 Series. Featuring a 12” woofer and 3” voice coil with a 1” exit compression driver and 1.75” voice coil, the speakers deliver comprehensive sound coverage across mid to large audiences and venues. Boasting a frequency response of 48 Hz–20 kHz and a maximum SPL of 131 dB, the versatile full-range speaker delivers powerful sound built to thrive in even the harshest of sound environments, such as a live DJ set.

 

XPRS2 Active Subwoofers: XPRS1152S and XPRS1182S

1. Three DSP Modes. Both of the XPRS2 subwoofers contain three different DSP preset modes – Boost, Extended LF, and Normal – to suit different listening environments.
2. Accurate Audio Performance. The XPRS1152S employs a 15” ferrite woofer with a 3” voice coil with long excursion, while the larger XPRS1182S relies on an 18” ferrite woofer with a 3” voice coil with long excursion to produce low frequencies with paramount accuracy.
3. Frequency Response. As with the XPRS2 full-range speakers, the new XPRS2 subwoofers’ performance is apparent through both the frequency response and maximum SPL. With the XPRS1152S providing a frequency response of 45 Hz – 120 Hz and a maximum SPL of 129 dB, while the XPRS1182S offers a 40 Hz – 120 Hz frequency response and 130 dB maximum SPL, the subwoofers pack in the performance of a permanent install subwoofer with the compact mobility required by today’s mobile artists, performers, and venues.
