LF-3115 

Low Frequency Loudspeaker

Introduction

The LF-3115 15” (381mm) low frequency enclosure is designed specifically for cinema appli-

cations. Meeting cinema requirements for extended low frequency response  differentiates 

the LF-3115 from more conventional “rock-and-roll” woofer systems. The LF-3115 covers the 

frequency range from 33 Hertz to 1900 Hertz, depending upon the high frequency system 

requirements. 

The 300 watt, 15” transducer is well suited for cinema use. It features a 3” (76mm) voice 

coil, ceramic magnet, and a multi-vented pole piece to ensure cool operation. Cooler temper-

atures increase transducer lifespan and decrease the problem of power compression at high 

power levels. The suspension and voice coil of the transducer have been designed to provide 

low distortion and high impact bass at high power.

The enclosure is constructed of high quality medium density fiberboard panels with stiffen-

ing braces on all panels. Both internal and external port openings are fully radiused ensuring 

smooth air flow at higher power levels, preventing audible port turbulence. The stiffening 

braces reduce panel resonance.

Bass ports are evenly spaced on each side of the transducer, making internal pressure more 

uniform across the back surface of the transducer. This prevents the cone from being dis-

placed to one side or another by unbalanced forces, reducing the chance of driving the voice 

coil out of the center of the gap at high power.

Three T-nuts in the top of the enclosure provide easy mounting of QSC high frequency sys-

tems, such as the HF-63.

Enclosure is not designed to be suspended, flown, or rigged. Do not sus-

pend, fly, or rig this enclosure.

This product is capable of producing sound pressure levels that can perma-

nently damage human hearing. Always keep sound pressure levels in the 

listening area below levels that can damage human hearing.

Install in accordance with QSC Audio Product’s instructions and a 

licensed, professional engineer. Only use attachments, mounts, accesso-

ries, or brackets specified by QSC Audio Products, Inc. Refer all servicing 

to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been 

damaged in any way.

WARNING! Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any speaker 

product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets, transducers, brackets 

and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed or 

non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the 

installation, placement, or array. Any such condition severely reduces the 

safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only 

hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of the installation and 

any possible short-term unexpected overloading. Never exceed the rating 

of the hardware or equipment. Consult a licensed, professional engineer 

when any doubt or questions arise regarding a physical equipment installa-

tion.
