The Full-Range Gigging Experience
- Massive Output: Delivering 300 watts of pure power, the Studio 15 guarantees the high headroom needed to stay clean and articulate, even when pushing volume against loud drummers and guitarists.
- 15-Inch NEO Driver: The custom 15" NEO moves serious air, providing the deep, resonant low end that only a large speaker can deliver. Paired with a High-Frequency (HF) Unit, the tone remains clear and articulate across the entire spectrum—perfect for extended-range basses.

Precision and Versatility
The Studio 15 includes professional features for total command over your performance and tone.
