Technical data
  • impedance: 4 Ohm
  • sensivity (2,83V/1m): 94 dB
  • size (HxWxD): 1200 x 500 x 400 mm

Double Fifteen is a two and a half way floorstanding speaker with two 15 inch drivers.

Double Fifteen is a dipole loudspeaker with drivers of Omnes Audio .

The kit is delivered with the following drivers:
- a Omnes Audio CX15 coaxial driver
- a Omnes Audio OBW15PA woofer

The loudspeaker has been developed by Thomas Schmidt.

The crossover consists of:
- a 2nd order high-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the tweeter.
- a 2nd order low-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the woofer.

The decay spectrum (waterfall spectrum) shows a decelerated swing-out behaviour in the mid-range.

At low volume, i.e. 85 dB at 1 m, the nonlinear distortions are below 0,9% above 300 Hz and doesn't exceed 2,7% at 95 dB at 1 m between 300 and 15000 Hz.

Our kit consists of

  • Omnes Audio OBW15PA
  • Omnes Audio CX15
  • Binding Post PK31, gold plated (one pair, red and black)
  • 3m Speaker cable 2x1.5 mm2, transparent
  • 2x Pan screws 4x20 black, torx, 8 pieces

Kit with high-end crossover

The high-end kit is delivered with baked varnish air core coils on important parts of the crossover for minimizing microphonic effects. - The current flow through the coil creates a magnetic field which sets the reel of wire in motion. This motion induces a voltage in the coil which adds itself to the signal. The stiffer the reel of wire is, the less the signal will be altered. The capacitors for the Omnes Audio CX15 are of type polypropylen (MKP) Clarity-Cap ESA 250 V.
