Description

The Kpow 15BT MK II is an active PA speaker designed for DJs, musicians and venues. Its 15" low-frequency driver pumps out rich, full-bodied bass, perfect for modern genres like EDM, hip hop and pop. A built-in 2-way crossover routes high and low frequencies to dedicated drivers for balanced, optimized sound.

Rugged Cabinet Construction Withstands the Rigors of Live Performance

The 15BT MK II's molded ABS plastic cabinet is impact-resistant and durable, built to handle the stresses of loading in and out of venues and the occasional bump or drop. Its wedge-shaped design allows it to sit at an angle on the floor, dispersing sound evenly as a floor monitor. When used as a PA speaker, the cabinet's shape helps project sound over the audience.

Bluetooth Streaming Adds Convenience

Connect your mobile device or laptop wirelessly to the 15BT MK II using Bluetooth, then stream your music, backing tracks or audio files directly to the speaker. This convenient feature eliminates the need for extra cables while giving you more freedom of movement on stage or at the DJ booth.

Class D Amplification Delivers High Power and Low Weight

The 15BT MK II's Class D amplifier pumps out 200W of continuous power and 1,000W at peak, providing all the volume you need for most gigs while keeping the overall weight of the speaker down. Class-D technology is highly efficient, reducing heat buildup and energy consumption.

Inputs and Outputs For Any Application

In addition to Bluetooth, the 15BT MK II offers an XLR input and output, XLR microphone input and 1/8" mini input for connecting MP3 players and other devices. Use the speaker as a floor monitor, PA speaker or both—its flexible I/O has you covered for any live performance or playback need.

Good Value

I bought two of these speakers about 6 months ago from Guitar Center when they were on sale for about $169. I played my first DJ set to about 300 kids in a school cafeteria. The pair of speakers rocked and were very loud. Another time, I used only one speaker in the school gym- the blutooth connectivity was strong for about 4 hours. Afterwards, it would not stay connected...so I had to use the headphone jack. I continued to use it for an additional 2-3 hours without an issues. Even with just one speaker connected, the sound came out strong. Keep in mind, gyms have very high ceilings. So I was impressed that the speakers were able to navigate this huge space. I definitely recommend this as a beginner's speaker. The only weekness is that the bass and clarity is not as great as other speakrs. However, you can't go wrong with the price and size. There's nothing else in this price range. I also purchased the warranty-which came in handy because one of the handles broke. Nevertheless, the speakers are still sturdy and you'd have to be wreckless to break anything.

American Audio KPow 15BT MK II

I use it mainly at gatherings or as a monitor when doing a mobile DJ gig. Sounds real clear at medium n low volumes, bass tends to fade at high volume. I'm not sure it could with stand strenuous hours of constantly pushing it. I love the features, cabinet just feels real plastic n hollow. Good lil speaker tho. I really bought it for the MP3 player. Works just fine.

    I bought 2 for my church and they are very good. Bought them 2 years ago and for the price you can't good wrong. They look very sheik and I like the casing. You would have to be very careless to actually break them. Easy to break down and go portable. I plan to buy 2 more asap. Thumbs up American Audio for looking out for the little guy! 5 stars for the price.

  • I would definitely buy this again
