Frequently asked questions
Why does the 5732-M/HF require a separate bass cabinet?
The 5732-M/HF is the mid-high section only of JBL's three-way cinema ScreenArray system. It reproduces dialogue and effects with precision but lacks low-frequency drivers; the 5739 dual-15 bass cabinet (sold separately) completes the full-range system for professional cinema sound design.
Which speaker handles outdoor and humid environments better?
The AM7212/00-WH is rated IP-x3 (IEC529) and finished in DuraFlex coating, making it suitable for outdoor and moisture-prone installations. The 5732-M/HF is engineered for controlled studio and theater environments and is not specified for environmental extremes.
What is the key difference in coverage patterns?
The 5732-M/HF provides 90° horizontal and 20°/30° vertical dispersion, optimized for controlled theater and studio listening positions. The AM7212/00-WH offers broader 100 × 100° coverage, which distributes sound evenly across mid-sized venues and reduces dead zones.
Is either system suitable for portable use?
The AM7212/00-WH is compact and designed for portable installation in mid-sized venues, with multiple rigging options. The 5732-M/HF is a stationary cinema component requiring dedicated amplifier channels, integration infrastructure, and a separate bass cabinet; it is not portable.
