Frequently asked questions
Which speaker is better for live band performance?
The CXP-115 is designed specifically for stage monitoring with higher power, a larger driver, and rugged construction built for touring. The AH80 works for small intimate venues but lacks the output and durability for high-volume live environments.
Can I use the AH80 without an external mixer?
Yes—the AH80 has three independent channels with individual level controls, built-in EQ, and delay effects, making it a self-contained mixing solution. The CXP-115 is a monitor-only speaker and requires an external mixing source.
Which is easier to transport?
The AH80 weighs 13.5 kg and is designed for portability with a kickback cabinet. The CXP-115 is heavier at 19 kg but includes a pole fitting for standard stands, making it stage-friendly rather than hand-portable.
What's the main frequency response difference?
The AH80 has a 1x10" driver with bullet tweeter optimized for clear mids and highs in smaller spaces. The CXP-115's 15" woofer and HF horn provide a wider frequency range (60 Hz–18 kHz) with more bass extension and projection for larger rooms and outdoor venues.
