Martin Audio XE500 15" Coaxial Stage Monitor

The XE500 is the larger of Martin Audio's XE coaxial stage monitors, using a 15" Coaxial Differential Dispersion driver for higher output and lower extension than the 12" XE300. As a single-point-source wedge, it delivers a consistent level across the artist's working area, and the extra cone area suits it to loud stages and side-fill duty where a 12 would run out of headroom.

It handles 550W AES on the LF section and 80W AES on the HF, reaching 143dB peak, with coverage of 60-30 degrees horizontal by 70 degrees vertical. It runs as an actively bi-amped monitor driven by Martin Audio's iK42 controller amplifier, with a 1.1kHz active crossover. Built-in risers set the wedge angle, and response runs 62Hz-18kHz.
