ICOA 15 A BT
15“ Powered Coaxial PA Loudspeaker with Bluetooth
This full-range loudspeaker impresses with its outstanding sound, even at low frequencies. The ICOA 15 A BT by LD Systems is a genuine all-rounder that offers unparalleled features for its class. Its coaxial design, rotating, BEM-optimised CD horn and extensive and precisely calibrated DynX DSP presets make this active 15" loudspeaker exceptionally flexible.
The outstanding bass reproduction from the horn-loaded woofer makes the LD ICOA 15 A BT the ideal choice for musicians, bands, entertainers, and dance schools. It also allows DJs to play sets without the need for a subwoofer. Deployed vertically, the speaker impresses as a satellite; horizontally, it's excellent in suspended systems or as a floor monitor. The efficient class-D power amplifier delivers 128 dB max. SPL and 1200 W peak performance.
Drawing on DynX DSP technology by LD Systems, the speaker delivers perfect performance with maximum clarity and power under all conditions. 4 presets, a 3-band EQ and a delay function facilitate optimal adjustment of the sound to the venue conditions. The 2 line/mic input channels with individual gain controllers, plus mono mix output, allow a variety of signal sources to be connected. The BT version offers Bluetooth® streaming and the wireless connection of playback devices - ideal for playing content from a phone or tablet.
Thanks to its shock-resistant front grille and ideal 55° tilt angle, the LD ICOA 15 A BT is also outstanding as a floor monitor. Placed vertically, the 36 mm dual tilt stand attachment offers the choice of a 0° or 5° tilt angle for optimally adapting the system to the local acoustic environment.
Extensive and smart accessories for installation and transport are optionally available. 4 aluminum handles with an ergonomic rubber surface provide optimal grip when carrying the speaker.

Thanks, man! A LOT. I have mad respect for any audiophile. I wish many people will understand what we are trying to teach people with how sound works.

[@reyrichard4922]

❤

[@here2inspireU]

I feel the LD ICOA 15 are unmatched for outside speakers, best bang for the buck for sure..... Thanks for another great review and explanation!

[@zian293]

I will appreciate more videos about ld icoa. You re doing a very good job!! Thank you!!

[@gildacanales3369]

Great comparison, thank you! Anyway, I was expecting a sound comparison test.

[@miamichi5]

Great video as always island man 🌴! Thank you. 👍

[@BrunoOliveira-sj6fs]

Robert You are doing a great job man! Keep going!! Fear not because your opinion is very important to the world, and its a gift that you are so caring and want to do a good job on passing on what you know 👌 And by the way, i think these are going to be my first PA set ✌😀

[@lijeiii]

Great video. Very informative! Thank you

[@senorsalami]

Great information again Robin, keep at it sir!

[@tcxtra9502]

Thanks Robin, great run through. 👌

[@dj_levelkev]

Your reviews and how to’s are first class. Super helpful for me understanding some of these features in straight up plain speak. I have a set of 15” ICOA tops and the 18” sub. Massive loud and clear sound

[@djbabyjayflores835]

Can you connect two 15” speakers together using Bluetooth

[@djtommybarelli]

@@djbabyjayflores835 I think you can with a android device

[@DINU_R]

Can 2 of these cover 200 crowd ?

[@_Chris_SA]

@@DINU_R it can but you going to have to push it to its limits . remember its only 128 max spl . more professional speakers can do 128 spl continuously.

[@djbigdogakabadboy1562]

Been rocking EV thinking of going to the LD

[@classicmelodyvetrivel710]

Thank you for the well explanations

[@expertisland]

Thank You for watching.

[@user-je6zo4gc1c]

I've used EV speakers however I am really impressed with LD. I have been looking at the LD specs on net but wow this is fantastic.

[@DINU_R]

Do they geat really loud?

[@andrewlukinsmusic]

I've just purchased a pair of the icoa 15" active speakers. Tried them in store and was super impressed how consistent they sounded in the room. Excited now to try them live in a band.

[@oscar_the_dj]

Have you tried them live in a band?

[@andrewlukinsmusic]

@@oscar_the_dj Yes I have, both outside and inside… these speakers are absolutely brilliant! Very consistent sweet sounding treble and midrange, plenty of extended bass and I love the use of the eq presets. I keep it flat for a band, though I use the full range mode for any DJ work as it boosts the bass and treble. Works great!

[@oscar_the_dj]

@@andrewlukinsmusic thank you so much for your reply, i am debating between 12” or 15” to use with my icoa 18. It’s a few db difference.

[@andrewlukinsmusic]

@@oscar_the_dj as you already have the sub, I would personally go for the 12s. You’ll end up putting a hpf on them anyway. Plus they will be a lot easier on the back. As much as I love the 15s, they weigh a lot!

[@oscar_the_dj]

@@andrewlukinsmusic thank you, i needed that advise. You’ve made my decision easier.

[@jacoboi]

What would you think about pairing up the ev blx 12 tops with the icoa 18 sub?

[@teclairedikoume7266]

Great video Sir, please can you make a sound test for these 2 speakers. Thank you

[@ionutpapuc8509]

Hello, i want a box for terase ,witch is better ld icoa 15 a or ev zlx15?thanks for response

[@koolkiwikat]

no soundtest?

[@larshinkel7542]

the LD speaker as a front stage in a multichannel setup? like 5.1 aso .... could this be an idea?

[@hxllwich3858]

Awesome comparison video. That settles it. Icoa it is.

[@lahanamstudio9944]

Hello Sir. How far does this LD throw out? Looking for long throw speakers in this price range . 95% we're using for outdoors. Thanks

[@bennettshapiro3117]

At room temp (68 degrees Fahrenheit) a sound wave at 20hz is 675 feet long. A sound wave at 1000 Hz is 13 1/2 inches. And a sound wave at 10,000 Hz is 1.35 inches. So you know.

[@frankfarago2825]

8000 Watt, wow. How about 10KW, is that one coming out next? :-))

[@alextanislav4724]

Hello, I am interested in buying two active bluetooth speakers. Among EV zlx 15BT vs LD ICOA 15 A bt vs HK audio sonar xi, which do you think is strong and clear?Thank You!

[@LuisDelgado-it8xh]

Por cual te decidiste comprar?

[@TC-jp1mb]

Hi are you still making the video with rhe Blastking mixing console pt.3?

[@expertisland]

We have no stock of BlastKing Mixers to added to any new video, I will be ordering some soon & have more videos featuring BlastKing.

[@JWapologist]

Do yous think it would be worth getting the new JBL EON 700 Series instead?

[@expertisland]

We are making arrangements to have them here in the next month to test out

[@reyrichard4922]

Nona éviter

[@mrproblemchild88able]

Another budget speaker that pack a punch are yorkville yxL 15 I don’t recommend alto they get loud but the horns fail a lot you see a bunch review and KZbin videos fixing and complaining about the tweeter

[@Dandelunar]

which one is better for tech house. house and techno?

[@reyrichard4922]

Une bonne enceinte aura un beau spectre sonore sur toutes les musiques

[@greggrecko5985]

Icoa is the Best speaker in that price range!

[@gildacanales3369]

If I have the option to get a pair of LD ICOA 15A, the EV ELX 200 or the Behringer B115BT, with a pair of same brand 18" subwoofer, which one should I get to work outdoor events?

[@yeifreeduardogalvisbayona8662]

without a doubt the Ev ELX 200...👍

[@gildacanales3369]

@@yeifreeduardogalvisbayona8662 Thank you!

[@oescolante15]

ELX 133db spl but it is more expensive $799 the icoa 127db $399

[@here2inspireU]

ICOA for outside is unmatched

[@jmfbabyj]

@@yeifreeduardogalvisbayona8662 I have both & ICOA is by far better trust me…

12 ' vs 15 ' .... not ok

[@SUPAROCKINDJSMASH]

U never talk about CERWIN VEGA Speakers

[@expertisland]

We have none to talk about, But if CERWIN VEGA wants to work with us I would be happy to work with them They are a good brand.

[@vicentezaldivar5152]

8,000 wats😁😁😁😁 Sure in China!!---

[@erikbritz8095]

These are 99% of the time 500watts speakers each but from testing woofers on their own they can take more but issue is a 2400watt plate amp would be very heavy.

[@BrettNoack]

Sorry but you don't quite have a grasp on wavelength with regard to frequency. Maybe do a little more homework on the subject!

[@lawrenceman4328]

Please share your video. Would love to watch it.
