Innovative Hybrid Amplifier Sets This PA Speaker Apart
The PreSonus AIR15 active PA speaker is compact and lightweight, but it produces extended lows and natural-sounding highs. A 15" woofer and 1.35" tweeter are powered by 1,200 watts delivered by an innovative Class D/Class AB hybrid amplifier. The Class D efficiently drives the AIR15’s low end, while the Class AB yields smooth, natural high-frequency response. Built-in presets for front-of-house, wedge placement, music playback, enhanced low end, and improved speech intelligibility make common applications a piece of cake, and onboard EQ controls tailor the AIR15 to your room. Appreciated by Sweetwater’s mobile DJs and installation engineers, the PreSonus AIR15 active PA speaker delivers excellent performance in a modestly sized package.

For best results, keep those amps separated
A 15" speaker cone moves a lot of air, so the amplifier driving it has got to be beefy. The AIR15’s Class D amp is up to the task, sending up to 900 dedicated low-end watts through the 2.5" voice coil for rich, powerful bass. The AIR15 features a crossover set at 1.6kHz, leaving the 1.35" HF compression driver free to make the most of its 300W — handling only the upper mids and highs. The result is optimal sound quality that Sweetwater live sound gurus are quick to appreciate.
DSP is the answer to your mixing challenges
Want to simplify your life? PreSonus has your “Easy” button. The AIR15 employs simple, user-friendly signal processing accessible through a bright LCD display on the rear panel. With its great-sounding presets, you can tailor the AIR15’s response for front-of-house, monitor wedge, and music playback/DJ applications. You can also press a button to enhance bass response, generate a warmer audio vibe, and optimize the speaker’s parameters for the human voice/public address. With +/-10dB bass and treble EQ and location presets for stand or bracket mounting or flown installations, the PreSonus AIR15 delivers simple solutions to all your live mixing problems.
Keep your input options open
The most useful pieces of gear are often the ones that are the most flexible. The PreSonus AIR15 full-range loudspeaker lets you use a variety of input sources, thanks to its multiple connector formats. Each of its two combo XLR mic/TRS line inputs has a Class A microphone preamp, as well as gain control. The 1/8" aux in facilitates use with mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, and when you combine these signals using the AIR15’s internal mixer, the balanced XLR Mix output lets you send the signals to other AIR series speakers.
