Frequently asked questions

Are the audio specs and performance identical between black and white?

Yes. Both models use sixteen 50mm drivers, deliver 120 Hz–20 kHz response, offer switchable 40°/15° coverage patterns, include dual voicing modes, and meet the same EN54-24 life-safety certification.

Is this suitable for live sound reinforcement or only fixed installation?

It is designed for permanent or semi-permanent installations in venues, houses of worship, and commercial spaces. Its weight, integrated mounting hardware, and distributed-audio transformer make it better suited to mounted deployment than mobile touring applications.

What is the maximum SPL, and will it handle a large room?

EN54-certified maximum SPL is 92 dB @ 4 meters. Switchable long-throw (15°) vertical coverage accommodates medium to long-throw venues; multiple units can be arrayed to cover larger spaces or higher SPL requirements.

Can I run this on 70V distributed audio or standard low-impedance wiring?

Yes. Both models include an integrated transformer with multi-tap 70V and 100V operation, or direct 8-ohm connection for low-impedance systems common in professional installations.
