Frequently asked questions
Can I use the LSR310S outdoors like the AWC62?
No. The LSR310S is designed exclusively for indoor studio use and lacks weatherproofing. The AWC62 features IP56 rating and corrosion-resistant construction specifically engineered for outdoor and covered venues exposed to the elements.
What is the key difference in application between these two speakers?
The AWC62 is a passive 2-way full-range loudspeaker for outdoor live sound and speech reinforcement. The LSR310S is a powered subwoofer that extends the low end of studio monitor systems and is not a standalone speaker.
Which one is better for bass response?
The LSR310S extends to 27 Hz with a specialized down-firing driver and Slip Stream port optimized for studio accuracy. The AWC62 has a 70 Hz low-frequency limit and is designed for outdoor coverage, not critical bass monitoring.
Do these speakers require different installation approaches?
Yes. The AWC62 mounts via two M10 points with an included U-bracket and M6 safety attachment for outdoor installation. The LSR310S is a powered subwoofer that sits on a floor or shelf and connects via XLR or TRS cables to your studio monitor system.
