Frequently asked questions
Which speaker is better for touring and mobile events?
The PRX925 is purpose-built for touring with integrated amplification, wireless control via app, and dual woofers optimized for moving between venues. The AM5212/95 is passive and designed for permanent installation, requiring external amplifiers and fixed setup.
What's the SPL difference and does it matter?
The PRX925 reaches 137.7 dB SPL while the AM5212/95 reaches 132 dB SPL—a 5.7 dB difference favoring the PRX925. In practice, 3 dB is perceived as twice as loud, so the PRX925 has notably higher output for large venues. Both handle mid-sized installations adequately.
Which has better low-frequency response?
The PRX925 extends lower (43 Hz vs 45 Hz) with dual 15-inch woofers designed for tight, controlled bass, while the AM5212/95 uses a single 12-inch driver with differential technology for accurate bass in compact form. The PRX925 delivers more bass extension and impact; the AM5212/95 prioritizes size efficiency.
Can the AM5212/95 be used portably?
The AM5212/95 is passive and requires external amplification, mixing consoles, and XLR cabling, making it impractical for frequent relocation. The PRX925 is self-contained and designed for quick deployment, making it far more portable despite being larger.
