Frequently asked questions
Can I use these products together?
The VLA-C125S-BK is specifically designed as a companion subwoofer for VLA Compact line arrays, not the AW295-BK. The AW295-BK is a full-range speaker meant to function independently.
Which has higher SPL output?
The VLA-C125S-BK reaches 127 dB SPL maximum, but that's limited to frequencies down to 52 Hz. The AW295-BK produces high SPL across its full frequency range and excels at mid and high frequencies with precise directional control.
Which is better for a touring sound company?
The AW295-BK suits touring if you need modular full-range coverage for outdoor events. The VLA-C125S-BK suits touring only if you're already committed to the VLA Compact system; its B-stock status and subwoofer-only role make it a supplementary component, not a standalone solution.
What about weather resistance?
Both are weather-resistant. The AW295-BK uses multilayer glass composite with stainless steel for UV and temperature extremes. The VLA-C125S-BK has an IP-55 rating and fiberglass/steel construction for dust and water jet protection.
