The FRS-15 is a 54" tall square tower with each corner cut about 2''. One of the cut corners near the top, just below the grill, displays the Ohm logo. The FRS-15 is a true Walsh speaker designed for medium to large sized rooms. They create a precise stereo image from a very wide Sweet-Sweep. We call the effect Full Room Stereo and we named it after this benefit.
To acheive Full Room Stereo the speakers should be set up six to ten feet apart with the Ohm logos pointed so the crossfire is in front of the listening area. Nothing taller than the cabinets should be placed between them (at least half of the speakers should be totally clear).
The foam surrounds and damping materials in the driver will eventually cause poor bass and ''rattles'', which will require periodic maintainence and can be replaced with our new foam surround which is projected to last up to 30 years.
Upgrade Options:
The speaker can be upgraded with Walsh 200 Mk-2 driver
and a vent adapter to tune the cabinet lower for deeper bass. Installation
requires a screwdriver and takes only 10 minutes to install. You
will enjoy much deeper bass and more open highs in exchange for lower
sensitivity and more ''laid back'' balance.
Trade-In Options:
Ohm allows up to $1995 for the return of a complete undamaged pair of Ohm
FRS-15s toward 25% of the purchase price of new Ohm speakers.
