Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in coverage pattern?
The AM7212/00 delivers a square 100° × 100° pattern for consistent coverage in all directions, while the AM7212/26-WH uses a 120° × 60° Progressive Transition waveguide optimized for wider horizontal coverage with tighter vertical control. The 00 is more symmetrical; the 26-WH is directional.
Which one is better for touring?
Both are touring-rated, but the AM7212/00's flexibility across different venue sizes and mounting orientations gives it an edge for touring that requires frequent setup changes. The AM7212/26-WH excels when tours use consistent, predictable installation geometries.
Are the drivers different between the two?
Both use the same 2262H 12-inch woofer and 2432H compression driver, but the AM7212/26-WH specifies dual voice coil and dual magnetic gap architecture in the woofer for enhanced performance, while the 00 model does not explicitly document this feature in the provided spec.
Which has higher output capability?
The AM7212/00 S/m reaches 137 dB-SPL (HF) in bi-amp mode and 132 dB-SPL (LF), giving it a slight edge for extreme SPL demands. The AM7212/26-WH specifications do not provide discrete peak SPL figures in the description provided.
