Frequently asked questions
What is the main sonic difference between these two systems?
The AM7315/95 uses three drivers (15-inch woofer, 8-inch midrange, 1.5-inch tweeter) for more detailed mid-frequency reproduction, while the AW595-BK uses two drivers (15-inch dual voice-coil woofer and 1.5-inch tweeter) optimized for clean, efficient crossover with extended bass. The AM7315/95 delivers more three-way clarity; the AW595-BK prioritizes simplified reliability outdoors.
Which one can handle outdoor weather exposure?
The AW595-BK is specifically engineered for all-weather use with stainless steel grille, open-cell foam protection, and weather-sealed enclosure. The AM7315/95, while built with durable Finnish birch and DuraFlex finish, is primarily designed for touring and venue installations and not marketed as weather-resistant.
What are the SPL differences and when does it matter?
The AM7315/95 reaches 141 dB peak in tri-amp mode with 108 dB sensitivity, while the AW595-BK delivers 128 dB continuous and 134 dB peak. The AM7315/95's higher peak is valuable for large touring shows; the AW595-BK's continuous rating is more relevant for permanent outdoor installations where sustained output matters.
Which is better for a permanent stadium or outdoor venue installation?
The AW595-BK is purpose-built for permanent outdoor deployment with weather sealing, included mounting hardware, and proven track record in stadiums and parks. The AM7315/95 is better suited for touring and temporary large-venue setups where portability and three-way audio quality take priority.
