The Martin Audio LE1500 is a compact, high performance stage monitor
combining high output and controlled dispersion with discreet,
contemporary design. It features a high–specification 15" (380mm) low
frequency drive unit and a 1.4" (35mm) exit compression driver
mounted on a differential dispersion horn. Differential dispersion
technology increases the area over which a constant SPL and consistent
frequency response is maintained at ear height, enabling the artist to
move around more freely.
The LE1500 is best used with the DX1 controller. When driven actively,
the DX1 provides crossover, limiting and EQ functions. When operated
in passive mode the LE1500 benefits from the EQ and limiting functions
of the DX1. This also ensures that both active and passive configurations
will exhibit the same tonal balance when used together on stage.
