Looking for a powerful sound system that won’t break the bank? The OmniTop 15 is a strong contender. Featuring Eminence Deltalite II woofers (available in 12″ or 15″), this speaker delivers clear, punchy bass. The 15″ version can also function as a PA speaker for smaller venues or a bass cabinet. It’s also relatively lightweight at 45 pounds. Above 100 Hz, it performs admirably against larger, more expensive cabinets.
Notably, the OT15 competes with the $1,600 Community Sound iHP1544. Its high sensitivity allows a 200-watt OT15 system to achieve the same volume as a 700-watt iHP1544 system. This can significantly reduce amplifier costs.
The high-end performance is evident in its line array design and multiple tweeter options (dual compression, vertical array, melded array) for precise sound coverage. Professionals have praised its performance, with some claiming it surpasses mainstream brands and even rivals high-end club systems.
Designed by audio engineer Bill Fitzmaurice, the OT15 utilizes high-quality components without the premium markup. Pair it with subwoofers for a full-range system suitable for various applications, from small gigs to larger events.
In summary, the OmniTop 15 offers professional-grade sound quality at a reasonable price. It’s a serious option for anyone seeking a high-performance sound system.
