The Series comprises the XPRS15 and XPRS12 two-way full-range speakers, and the XPRS215S dual 15" subwoofer. All three have 15mm birch plywood enclosures for "a dynamic sound that works across all musical genres", say Pioneer. The XPRS15/12 have a 15/12" ferrite LF driver, a 1.75" titanium diaphragm compression driver and Pioneer Pro Audio's 'AFAST technology' which, the company says, delivers "a clear, clean sound with a deep bass range". Also featured are four EQ modes with built-in DSP.
The wedge-shaped XPRS15/12 can be placed on the floor and used as a foldback monitor for stage performances, or you can pole-mount it and choose between a 0° and 7° tilt to suit your set-up. The XPRS Series is available from May 2016.
