Frequently asked questions
What's the main driver difference?
The 3732 uses 2 × 6.5-inch midrange drivers; the 4732 uses 4 × 6.5-inch drivers. More drivers in the 4732 increase midrange output and coherence for reference-grade applications.
Which is better for live touring?
The 3732 is lighter, requires less power, and uses standard 8-ohm impedance, making it simpler for touring rigs. The 4732's weight, tri-amp requirement, and fixed-installation design make it less portable.
Which handles cinema sound better?
The 4732 is purpose-built for cinema with 90-degree horizontal × 20/30-degree vertical coverage, shallow 450 mm depth for screen mounting, and 107 dB sensitivity optimized for dialogue. The 3732 is designed for touring reinforcement, not fixed cinema installations.
Do both need a separate low-frequency section?
Yes. Both are mid-high sections only and must be paired with a 3739 (for the 3732 system) or 4739 (for the 4732 system) low-frequency cabinet to create a complete three-way loudspeaker.
