B&C Speakers - 15NDL88 16 Ohm

The B&C Speakers 15NDL88 16 Ohm is a 15-inch speaker designed to deliver solid bass and accurate midrange in modern loudspeakers. With a continuous power output of 700 W and a peak power output of 1400 W, it delivers a full, uncompressed sound reproduction, even in high-demand situations. Its wide bandwidth, from 45 to 3000 Hz, enables it to cover several registers without the need for systematic reinforcement.

Its neodymium motor reduces weight while maintaining a flux density of 1.15 T, guaranteeing a fast, accurate response. The aluminium coil and fibreglass support contribute to thermal stability, avoiding loss of output during long sessions. These technical choices ensure a consistency of sound that is much appreciated on tour or in fixed installations.

With a sensitivity of 98dB, the 15NDL88 optimises the acoustic power/pressure ratio, reducing the need for amplification. Efficiency of 2.5% confirms its effectiveness in configurations where power consumption is an important criterion. The suspension allows a linear excursion of ±8 mm, resulting in ample bass reproduction without any noticeable distortion.

The Thiele & Small parameters show a balanced compromise between depth and control. With a resonance frequency of 44 Hz and a Vas of 137.9 L, it is well suited to medium-sized bass-reflex loudspeakers. Whether for bass/woofer cabinets or full-range loudspeakers, this model offers the flexibility that loudspeaker designers are looking for.
