KI-215-SMA-II
The Klipsch KI-215-SMA-II trapezoidal, array-capable subwoofer (sixteen built-in 3/8" 16-thread fly points) complements Klipsch’s high-power full-range loudspeaker systems. Its enclosure dimensions and rigging configuration are identical to the KI-362-SMA-II full-range professional loudspeaker system, making it an ideal match when using an external, active two-way crossover. Its heavy-duty drive components use 104-ounce magnets and 3" voice coils, along with proprietary speaker motor assemblies, to deliver high sensitivity and advanced power handling. It is suited for clubs, theaters, auditoriums, churches, and performance halls, with a plywood construction tuned-port enclosure using CNC fabrication for uniform tolerances and build reliability.

- 22.5° symmetrical trapezoidal design makes it an ideal music reinforcement match with the KI-396, KI-262, and KI-272 when using an external, active crossover
