Frequently asked questions
Can I use the SRX906LA BP without owning SRX906LA subwoofers?
No. The SRX906LA BP is an accessory base plate designed specifically for M20 screw attachment to compatible SRX906LA subwoofers. It has no audio output and cannot function independently.
Is the C29AV-1 suitable for portable or mobile PA applications?
No. The C29AV-1 is explicitly designed for fixed installations, studio sessions, and integrated AV setups. Its 92 dB sensitivity and 150W handling suit permanent placements, not portable touring systems.
What is the main difference in application between these two products?
The C29AV-1 is a complete two-way monitor speaker delivering mid and high-frequency audio. The SRX906LA BP is a structural mounting accessory for subwoofers that adds low-frequency systems to existing rigs—they serve entirely different roles.
Which product is better for a touring festival sound system?
Only the SRX906LA BP is designed for touring and festival deployment. However, it requires you to already own SRX906LA subwoofers; the C29AV-1 is optimized for fixed installations, not portable rigs.
