Frequently asked questions
Can the AM5215/95 and SRX828SP work together?
Yes—the AM5215/95 is a full-range speaker, and the SRX828SP is a subwoofer designed to augment larger systems. They serve different roles; the AM5215/95 stands alone, while the SRX828SP is typically paired with multiple satellite speakers in a larger PA rig.
Which is better for a small club or single performer?
The AM5215/95 is ideal for single performers and smaller venues because it is a complete, portable, full-range system. The SRX828SP alone is a subwoofer and requires additional speakers and mixing infrastructure.
What is the power and SPL difference?
The SRX828SP delivers 2000W peak power and 141dB maximum SPL, designed for large venues; the AM5215/95 specs are not provided but it is a full-range speaker suited to live performance rather than extreme SPL reinforcement. The SRX828SP is engineered for higher-output touring and rental applications.
Does the SRX828SP require external control or can it run standalone?
The SRX828SP includes onboard DSP with 20 parametric EQs and 50 user presets, so it can operate standalone. However, it shines in networked multi-unit setups using HiQnet and Ethercon for remote control and system integration across multiple units.
