Beyma 15LEX1000Fe: 15" ferrite subwoofer with 1,000 W AES and 968 cm³ displacement

If you are looking for a 15" bass driver for compact vented subwoofers, you end up at the Beyma 15LEX1000Fe from the LEX series. The ferrite driver brings 1,000 W AES power handling, 97 dB sensitivity, a 3.5" voice coil and a working range from 40 to 1,000 Hz. The upper limit of 1,000 Hz makes the orientation clear: this is a bass and subwoofer driver, not a full-range woofer for tops.

The decisive figure is the stroke: 11 mm Xmax over 0.088 m² of cone area gives 968 cm³ of displacement – the raw material for deep-bass SPL. Add Fs 41 Hz, Qts 0.34, Vas 116 l and a motor with BL 23.2 Tm that controls the 142 g moving mass. The EBP of 111 places the driver in vented territory, where it converts its excursion reserve into SPL most effectively. Ferrite instead of neodymium means 11 kg of weight, but in return an attractively priced motor for fixed installation and ground stacks.

Use and enclosure

From the Thiele-Small parameters a vented box of 79 l results as a guide value, tuned to 45 Hz, with a lower cut-off of 48 Hz. That is a volume which still fits a portable 15" sub and yet reaches deep down – for live sound, club subs and home cinema projects with a large cabinet. Sealed it would be 35 l at fc 85 Hz; that suits a very compact bass with DSP equalisation, but wastes the excursion reserve. Work out the fine-tuning including port length with the enclosure calculator on 42.audio.

Cross the 15LEX1000Fe well below its upper limit of 1,000 Hz to the top or mid-bass system; Le of 1.7 mH already indicates that the driver is no longer at home above the bass range. A high-pass filter just below the tuning frequency is mandatory at 11 mm Xmax, otherwise the excursion below fb becomes uncontrolled.

What to look out for

  • Weight 11 kg – ferrite motor, better suited to fixed installation and ground stacks than flying.
  • Mounting depth 182 mm: plan cabinet depth and port routing accordingly.
  • 8 Ω, Re 5.4 Ω: amplifier around 1,000 W into 8 Ω, set a high-pass below fb.
  • Xmax 11 mm, Vd 968 cm³ – genuine subwoofer excursion reserve in the 15" class.
  • Upper limit 1,000 Hz: a pure bass driver, not for 2-way tops.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 15LEX1000Fe suitable for home cinema?

Yes, if the cabinet has room: vented around 79 l tuned to 45 Hz reaches down to about 48 Hz and delivers very high SPL with 968 cm³ of displacement. For even deeper bass in a home cinema, a DSP bass boost in a sealed box helps.

Which amplifier suits the 15LEX1000Fe?

An amplifier delivering around the 1,000 W AES rating into 8 Ω. A high-pass below the tuning frequency and a limiter are important so the 11 mm Xmax is not continuously exceeded.

How does it differ from the FaitalPRO 15HP1060?

Both have Fs of 40 to 41 Hz and Qts 0.34, but at 76.3 l the Faital has a much smaller Vas than the Beyma at 116 l. The 15HP1060 therefore gets by with less box, while the 15LEX1000Fe rewards the larger volume with more extension.

Beyma 15LEX1000Fe: manufacturer, spellings and classification

Beyma and Acustica Beyma refer to the same manufacturer: Acústica Beyma S.L. of Moncada near Valencia, Spain. The 15LEX1000Fe is a 15-inch woofer with ferrite magnet from the LEX series, available from 42.audio, Beyma dealer in Germany, with datasheet and full specifications in the driver database.

At 42.audio you get the BEYMA 15LEX1000Fe with all key data in the driver database and the enclosure calculator. More drivers from this manufacturer: Atlas Beyma.
