Frequently asked questions
What is B-stock, and does it affect sound quality?
B-stock means the unit is a returned, open-box, or display model with no defects in function or sound. Both products deliver the exact same acoustic performance: 93 dB sensitivity, 55 Hz–17 kHz response, and 112 dB max SPL.
Are the coverage patterns and mounting the same?
Yes. Both deliver a 75° conical constant-directivity pattern designed for high-ceiling installations. Both include mounting hardware and fit standard 13.1-inch drop-ceiling cutouts.
What is the key difference in power options?
Product A explicitly lists 70V/100V taps at 60W, 30W, 15W, and 7.5W for distributed systems. Product B does not mention tap options in the description, so confirm with the store if low-voltage distributed wiring is essential to your project.
Which is better for commercial installations?
Both are equally suitable for retail, conference rooms, and institutional spaces. Choose based on budget (B-stock) versus new-condition assurance (new stock).
