Yamaha C115V Speaker Pair

Developed and manufactured in the USA, the C115V passive speakers have earned acclaim around the world thanks to their rugged build, high power rating and uncompromising sound quality. Part of Yamaha’s Club Series V, the C115Vs can handle a maximum of 1000 watts, and are coated with a heavy-duty elastomeric spray coating for long-lasting durability. Designed as an installation alternative to the carpeted S versions, the C115V speakers can easily fit any décor. The finish is very tough, and readily paintable to match surroundings. The steel grilles are foam-lined with acoustically transparent material to provide a more subdued appearance.

The C115V’s cabinets are constructed of high quality particleboard, chosen for its high strength and elasticity, consistent void-free makeup and light weight. Another great benefit of this material is its low impact on the environment. Made from southern yellow pine, this material is both abundant and quickly renewable. Accurate CNC routing machines are used to cut every part, assuring consistency with tolerances of one ten thousandth of an inch. Skilled technicians assemble each cabinet by hand, rejecting any defects. Heavy steel handles and sturdy pole sockets make moving and positioning easy.

The C115V’s drivers are custom-made by Eminence Speaker Corporation to Yamaha's exacting standards and specifications. The large, 15 in. woofers share design features like high-strength curvilinear cones and Dupont Kapton voice coil formers. Oxygen-free copper voice coils and oversize strontium ferrite magnets are also used to provide high power handling and long life. The 15 in. drivers use cast-aluminum frames to support the massive magnet structure, eliminate flex and help dissipate heat. The compression driver that generates the high frequency sound uses a pure titanium diaphragm. This 2 in. dome is one of the largest in its class, allowing for very high output and low distortion, without the aid of cooling fluids.
