PRV Audio 12MB1500FT Forte Series 12" Midbass Speaker 8 Ohm

PRV Audio 12MB1500FT Forte Series 12" Midbass Speaker 8 Ohm

The PRV 12MB1500FT delivers a highly linear response, smoothly extending down to 75 Hz, making it an ideal choice for 2-way cabinet systems needing strong BL force and impactful midbass. It’s a powerful new addition to the Forte Series, focused on delivering higher power handling and reduced distortion in the mid to low midbass range.

  • High BL factor and Xmax for outstanding low-frequency output
  • Rated at 1500 watts RMS Continuous Program Power
  • 98.5 dB sensitivity, which makes it capable of generating a lot of output!
  • 3.5″ Inside/Out CCAW voice coil wound on fiberglass former for hi-temp performance, 8 Ohm

Supporting the cone is a heavy-duty spider with an M-roll treated cloth surround, specifically designed for high-excursion applications to handle short bursts of excessive power without sustaining damage. A double silicon spider system further enhances control during large excursions, allowing the driver to achieve up to 1.50 inches of peak-to-peak movement while maintaining performance and reliability.

A robust 25 mm ferrite magnetic structure ensures dynamic and precise performance, while the unique 3.5-inch inside/outside voice coil design delivers exceptionally high power handling of 1500 watts RMS. Enhanced by a dual forced cooling system, this design ensures highly efficient voice coil ventilation, minimizing power compression and maintaining consistent performance even during demanding audio applications.

*Nominal power handling is defined as the maximum RMS power that the speaker can handle in a 2-hour test with a pink noise with 6dB of crest factor and a bandpass filter with 12db/oct tuned in its usable frequency range.
**Continuous Program Power (RMS) is the maximum power that the speaker can handle considering a regular musical program using our recommended filters, this power can be used to define the optimum amplifier power to provide a clean signal without clipping or saturation.
***Max Peak Power is the maximum power operation for the speaker, this power is allowed just for a few fractions of a second, usually found just on the peaks of the music. Keeping this power for a little longer timer will damage the speaker.
