Sound Barrier FM15CXA — 15″ Active Coaxial Stage Monitor with DSP
FM15CXA Overview
The Sound Barrier FM15CXA is a purpose-built active stage monitor designed for demanding live sound environments, combining a 15″ neodymium coaxial transducer with a 3″ voice coil and a 700W digital amplifier (2800W peak) in a low-profile Baltic Birch plywood enclosure. The coaxial driver configuration places the 1″ neodymium HF driver concentrically within the woofer, delivering coherent point-source reproduction with high intelligibility even at elevated SPL levels up to 130 dB. Four onboard DSP presets, each modifiable via PC, allow engineers and system integrators to optimize the monitor’s response for different deployment scenarios. The FM15CXA is suited for touring engineers, live sound professionals, and installation contractors requiring a versatile, road-ready monitor solution.
An integrated pole mount socket and rigging points extend the FM15CXA’s utility beyond the stage floor, supporting use as a portable PA system or as a flown speaker in permanent installation settings. The cabinet’s durable paint finish is engineered to withstand the rigors of repeated touring use.
