The Citronic CM15A is a powerful 15-inch active wedge monitor designed for stage foldback, live performance, rehearsals and instrument monitoring. Its integrated Class-D bi-amplifier delivers 350W RMS and 700W peak output, providing the level and headroom required for demanding performance environments.

A 15-inch coaxial main driver works with a centrally positioned 44mm titanium compression driver to produce focused full-range sound. This arrangement helps align the high and low frequencies from a single point, making it easier for performers to hear a balanced mix when positioned close to the monitor.

The larger 15-inch driver and two bass ports provide a frequency response extending down to 45Hz. This makes the CM15A particularly useful when monitoring instruments and sources that benefit from a fuller low-frequency response, including keyboards, electronic drums and music playback.

Independent Mic and Line Inputs

The CM15A has two independently controlled input channels for connecting microphones, mixing consoles, electronic instruments and other audio equipment.

Input A accepts line-level signals through a combined XLR and jack connection or the stereo RCA inputs. Input B has a combined XLR and jack connection that can be switched between microphone and line-level operation. Individual volume controls are provided for both inputs, together with a master output control.

This flexible input arrangement allows the CM15A to operate as a conventional stage monitor connected to a mixing desk or as a stand-alone sound system with a microphone and music source connected directly.

Bluetooth and Five DSP Profiles

Built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows music and backing tracks to be played from a compatible smartphone. This is useful for rehearsals, solo performers, fitness instruction, presentations and musicians practising with recorded material.

The internal DSP provides five selectable sound profiles: Normal, DJ, Voice, Live and Flat. Each setting adjusts the speaker response for different sources and applications. The DSP profile is selected using a rotary control, with indicator LEDs showing the active setting.

Additional Monitor and PA Connections

An XLR Mix output sends the combined signals from Input A, Input B and Bluetooth to another active speaker or stage monitor. This makes it possible to expand a monitoring or PA system without requiring a separate output for every speaker.

A 6.35mm stereo headphone connection with an independent volume control provides an additional option for personal monitoring.

The wedge-shaped, texture-coated wooden enclosure is designed to sit securely on the floor and direct sound towards the performer. A powder-coated steel grille protects the drivers and incorporates side openings that can be used when carrying the monitor.

The CM15A can also be mounted on a suitable speaker stand using its 35mm pole socket, allowing it to operate as a compact full-range PA speaker. M8 mounting points provide further installation options for suitable applications.
