Small stage,
big bass.

Punches way above its weight.
A single 15″ neodymium driver and 2,500 watts in our most portable box: one person carries it, no dolly required. It punches so far above its weight you'll double-check the spec sheet.

BB15-MK3 front panel in dramatic lighting

Tiny box, full-size amp.

2,500W of Class D power on a 4.5″ CCAW voice coil. Higher rail voltages slam the peaks while sustained output keeps the low end tight, fast, and musical down to 40 Hz.

Small box, big bodyguard.

Five limiters, including thermal, excursion, and clipping, watch over the woofer without coloring the sound. Throw everything you've got at it. The transients stay clean.

Sky opens up. Show goes on.

Auto-sensing 100–240VAC means any outlet, any country. A high-pressure polyurea shell and IP65-rated connectors keep the electronics safe from rain, dust and spilled drinks. Small box, tough skin.

Light to carry. Hard to kill.

CNC-machined 15mm multi-ply Birch with dado joinery and internal bracing, wrapped in impact-resistant polyurea. Integrated handles and foot pockets for ground-stacking. Built to be passed down, not thrown out.

Presets for every party.

16 onboard presets and a 96 kHz DSP that switches in real time. Keep up to 100 more in ControlBASS: dial in a room once and skip the guesswork next time.

From the Family

The BB15-MK3 in its natural environment,
boutique venues, private events, and anywhere big bass has to fit in a small space.

That's what they said.

u/JohnnieClutch

They're only 70 pounds and you can easily get your arms around them to get em off the ground and into a vehicle by yourself. I've owned rcf 708, JBL 618-XLF, kw181, and the bb15 hits harder than all of them at a fraction of the weight.

Aaron Weidner

I heard the BB15 at NAMM against many subs twice or three times its size. You can NOT beat its size to performance ratio! Gets low, where most twice it’s size don’t!

Alfred Williams

The SV9 and BB15 are perfect. I kid you not the club owner was upset that the sound in the small room was much better his main room. By a mile... People kept walking in asking what type of speakers they were. I can tell you those little tops are very capable for smaller spaces. 250 people or less depending on the location. For the first time in a while my ears were not ringing after a long night.

Mark Sebastian

Love how our BASSBOSS SV9 tops and BB15 subs micro-PA system sets up in under 30 minutes and fills the room with clean, effortless sound.

PRESET 01

70 Hz upper crossover

Cabinet display: BB15 40-70LR

Use it when your tops take over at 70 Hz or higher with a Linkwitz-Riley high-pass filter. Gradually reduces rumble below 38 Hz.

Low-cut:: 38 Hz · Butterworth
Upper crossover:: 70 Hz · Linkwitz-Riley

The cabinet display name and stored filter values differ for this preset. The graph uses the stored filter data; the cabinet display name is retained for identification.

Illustrative high-pass and low-pass filter response. This does not show the complete loudspeaker response, room coverage or all DSP processing.

Up to 100 stored presets via ControlBASS

Manage, name, and recall: all over Ethernet.

Select a preset

Start here, then listen and adjust on site. Relative levels, placement, the room and your speaker combination affect the result.

Linkwitz-Riley low-pass: try tops with an LR high-pass at the same frequency or higher. Relative levels can shift the acoustic crossover; listen and adjust on site.

Filter details and terminology

Low-cut (high-pass): Gradually reduces output toward lower frequencies. The response is already reduced at its cutoff; it does not stop abruptly there.
Upper crossover (low-pass): Gradually reduces output toward higher frequencies. Subwoofer and top responses overlap around the crossover.
Linkwitz-Riley (LR): A recommended starting point for the sub/top crossover. For a top's LR high-pass, try a sub's LR low-pass at the same frequency or lower. For a sub's LR low-pass, try a top's LR high-pass at the same frequency or higher. Verify the combination on site.
Butterworth (BW): A maximally flat passband with less attenuation around the cutoff than a Linkwitz-Riley filter of the same order. Lower-frequency BW high-pass presets are useful for full-range bass extension. Start with LR presets for a sub/top crossover.

PRESET 01: Cardioid · rear-facing cabinet

Reduce bass behind the system.

A cardioid setup uses forward- and rear-facing cabinets to reduce rearward bass. Apply the cardioid preset to the cabinet facing away from the audience. BASSBOSS recommends two forward-facing cabinets for each rear-facing cabinet. Placement, spacing, frequency and relative levels affect the result.

Arrange the cabinets.

Start with BASSBOSS’s recommended two-forward, one-rear configuration and the model’s setup guidance.

Set the rear-facing cabinet.

Select the appropriate cardioid preset on that cabinet. Use the appropriate forward-facing presets on the other cabinets.

Check the result.

Listen and measure in front of and behind the system, then adjust the setup as needed.

Illustrative cardioid coverage: more bass toward the audience and reduced output behind the array. Actual coverage depends on the setup.
