Ohm FRS-15
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 achieve 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 maintenance and can be replaced with our new foam surround which is projected to last up to 30 years.

The speaker can be upgraded with Walsh 3000 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. You will also get a more detailed midrange with voices becoming more intelligable over a wider area. You will enjoy the sound of the new $4000/pair Walsh 3000 with deeper bass since your FRS-15 cabinet is bigger.
Note: Most Ohm upgrades require no specialized knowledge and are easily completed completed by any person. It takes less time to install your own upgrade than it does to package and return ship your speakers to the factory, therefore, we recommend you save time and money by doing this yourself. We ship the upgrade to your door with clear, easy instructions. If for any reason you prefer to have the factory complete your upgrade installation, we will be happy to do this for free, however, you will be responsible for shipping and handling costs each way.
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.
