The SM159zi is a compact, professional loudspeaker designed for
dual-purpose stage monitor and PA use. Its 15-inch low frequency
transducer generates a strong low end, without boominess. The
smooth HF response and high output capability cuts through stage
sound for quality monitoring and provides good projection for PA use.

The low profile and compact size are ideal for situations where small
physical size is needed, without sacrificing professional
performance. Integral mounting points accept a third-party, external,
stand adapter for pole mounting, such as the K&M™ 195/8 or
Ultimate Support™ BMB-200K.

Portable usage is enhanced by the heavy-duty enclosure
construction, foam-backed steel grille, and integral handles. The
connector panels on each side have dual jacks for reliable input and
loop through connections.

Applications include use as a stage monitor or as a PA loudspeaker
for band PA, TV productions, corporate events, theatres, houses of
worship, and live music clubs.

Six year warranty.
