PRV Audio 15W1600 Professional Low Frequency Driver

The PRV Audio 15W1600 is designed for DIY and professional PA applications where efficiency and impact matter. Its 97 dB sensitivity (2.83 V at 1 m) and 8 Ω nominal impedance make it a solid match for high-output bass sections, kick bins, and full-range tops that need authoritative midbass. The published frequency response is 55 Hz to 2,500 Hz at -10 dB, making it well-suited for crossed systems.

Power handling is rated at 800 W AES (1,600 W program), supported by a 101 mm copper voice coil with a Kapton former and side-vent voice coil cooling to help manage heat during long sessions at high SPL. For full power handling, PRV recommends a 75 Hz high-pass crossover with a 12 dB per octave slope.

For enclosure design, the driver’s Thiele-Small data includes Fs 53.6 Hz, Qts 0.42, Vas 91.19 L, Sd 984 cm², Xmax 7.0 mm, Bl 24.13 Tm, Re 5.8 Ω, and Le 1.78 mH at 1 kHz, giving DIY builders the inputs needed to model vented or compact bass alignments. Mechanical construction includes a die-cast aluminium frame and practical installation dimensions: 388 mm overall diameter, 357 mm front-mount cutout, 140 mm mounting depth, and 152 mm overall depth.
