For gigging DJs, home studio bass-heads or venue owners with limited space, the BASSBOSS BB15-MK3 is a 15" powered subwoofer that's easy to transport and delivers remarkable deep bass for its size. The BB15-MK3 is a direct radiating subwoofer that offers amazing versatility and practicality for those who need a lot of low end in the smallest and lightest form factor.
The BB15-MK3 features a long excursion, 15" woofer loaded into a vented enclosure that is tuned to optimize low frequency output using a large port. The 2500W Class-D amplifier is loaded at the interior port end to utilize the air flow at high output for additional cooling. The BB15-MK3 includes a Neutrik powerCON True1 TOP power cable.
What's New
MK3 Amp Update
- There are all-new amplifiers in the MK3 series. Total power has increased, however power allocated to woofers increased substantially. The higher output voltages provide more impact. Universal input voltage compatibility of 90-250V provides more flexibility. Waterproof connections provide more peace of mind.
MK3 Enhanced DSP
- The MK3 features an all-new 96 kHz DSP. The pushbutton presets have doubled, from 4 to 8, and up to 100 presets can now be stored in the DSP and loaded via LAN. The comprehensive suite of processing includes meticulously tuned equalization, all necessary high-pass and low-pass filters as well as multiple protection systems and limiters to prevent driver overload in as many ways as possible.
ControlBASS Software
- ControlBASS software supports an essentially unlimited number of possible BASSBOSS-developed or customized user presets which integrate seamlessly and coherently with all other BASSBOSS products for effortlessly perfect setups. The latest in DSP programming developments can be added via easy remote updating.
BB15-MK3 Design
- A powerful, easily portable system that delivers superior sound quality, the BB15-MK3 offers remarkably deep bass for its size. Plug-and-Play ease of use is facilitated by an integrated DSP while a 2500 watt amplifier and a 4.5” coil Neo woofer make the compact, lightweight design extremely effective. Although only 21 x 17 x 24” and 71 lb, its output SPL and low-frequency extension capabilities exceed many much bigger boxes.
- For DJs and venues seeking high levels in tight spaces, the BB15-MK3 is the smallest, lightest, and most effective solution available. Perfectly capable of providing high SPL starting from 40 Hz, there’s barely any event this little box can’t do.
Advanced Power
The BB15-MK3 features a 2500W amplifier with an auto-sensing, globally compatible power supply that can run on mains supplies anywhere between 90 and 250 Volts. Full output power is available on anything over 110V. The amplifier's high peak-output voltage provides Single 15" BB15-MK3 for intense high SPL hits while its sustained output is unparalleled in its ability to deliver the liquid lows. The amplifier is passively cooled via its external heat-sink and by woofer generated air-flow through the port. When necessary, two blower-fans will engage to provide additional forced-air cooling capacity in more extreme conditions.
Rugged 15" Driver
- Dual 15" woofers with neodymium motors and with massive 4.5" voice coils
- Neodymium magnets provide higher intensity and efficiency, resulting in a lighter and louder cabinet than those with ferrite drivers
Comprehensive Digital Signal Processing
The comprehensive suite of processing includes high-pass and low-pass filters as well as multiple protection systems and limiters to prevent driver overload in as many ways as possible, including thermal, excursion and clipping. The five levels of protection actively prevent overheating of the voice coil, minimize long-term thermal compression and limit excursion. Because they operate in 5 different modes, the limiters are sophisticated enough to have a largely unnoticeable effect on the transient response and allow the subwoofer to deliver peak output safely.
etherCON Interface
- The new DSP features an Ethernet interface that can be used to control the cabinets from a computer or to load software or firmware updates. The ethernet connectivity in conjunction with the DSP board allows signal to be sent via Milan AVB. Firmware updates will provide access to this feature.
- Within the software, multiple cabinets can be grouped together, allowing them to respond to commands simultaneously. This permits the levels of multiple loudspeakers to be adjusted together and yet independently from the levels of other groups of loudspeakers. In addition to individual and grouped level controls, presets can be loaded and signal levels and temperatures can be monitored. Each cabinet includes a two-port switch so multiple cabinets can be chained on the same data cable.
- The MK3 DSP features storage capacity of up to 100 presets, eight of which can be accessed at the touch of a button with no need for a connected computer. The eight directly accessible presets are compatible with all the presets in the MK3 Top Boxes and are also compatible with previous generation tops and subs.
Neutrik powerCON True 1 TOP
New to the MK3 are Neutrik powerCON True 1 TOP (Total Outdoor Protection) waterproof mains connectors. Waterproof mains connectors along with a totally isolated input connection section and cones that are waterproofed make the MK3 series the powered loudspeakers that can be used outdoors without fear of what the weather will bring. (Or used indoors without fear of what the partiers bring.)
