The box pro DSP 115 is a highly versatile two-way active speaker for live applications that combines affordability, lightweight design, and a powerful low end. Its frequency range of 48Hz to 19kHz delivers a deep and punchy bass, making it an excellent choice for mobile DJs, event hosts, and venues requiring an impactful and bass-heavy sound. However the box pro DSP 115 performs equally well in hi-fi scenarios, thanks to its 15" woofers, which produces slightly recessed mids and a strong low end, allowing music to shine while maintaining clarity in the high frequencies. It boasts a maximum SPL of 136dB and 350W RMS power output, delivering ample volume for parties, bars, and small clubs. The two hybrid XLR/jack inputs accept both microphone and line-level sources, and an additional mini-jack input can connect playback devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, while the XLR output seamlessly integrates into larger sound systems.
At the heart of the DSP 115 is an integrated digital signal processor (DSP), which offers four preset modes - Music, Live, Speech, and DJ - tailoring the sound for different applications. A three-band EQ provides ±12dB increments for fine-tuning bass, midrange, and treble frequencies, easily adapting to different acoustic environments. The graphic LC display - a feature typically found on much higher-end speakers - allows users to monitor input levels and adjust settings with precision. When used with a subwoofer, the built-in high-pass filter provides four selectable crossover points (80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, and 150Hz), optimising bass extension. To prevent signal distortion and ensure reliable operation, the box pro DSP 115 is also equipped with a built-in automatic limiter to protect against unwanted overloads.
The box pro DSP 115 can be used in many scenarios. Both inputs feature an independent gain control, allowing singer-songwriters to balance vocals and instruments, wedding hosts to adjust speech levels against background music, and DJs to get the party going. While its plentiful low-end reserves makes it ideal for DJs, dance music, and entertainment venues, its slightly recessed midrange is less suited to speech-focused events like conferences or presentations, where a model with more midrange presence, such as the Pyrit 15A (article no. 229657) may be preferable for vocal clarity. In a stereo setup, the box pro DSP 115 fully showcases its broad frequency response, making it a strong choice for nightclubs, large bars, restaurants, and other lively venues.
