Frequently asked questions
Can the PD595 work alone as a main speaker?
Yes. The PD595 is a complete two-way full-range system with integrated crossover and covers 90 Hz to 16 kHz, making it suitable for standalone deployment in mid-sized venues and permanent installations.
Does the PD6200/66-WH need a subwoofer?
Yes. The PD6200/66-WH begins at 200 Hz and is designed as a mid-high element, so it requires separate low-frequency reinforcement (subwoofer or bass speaker) to reproduce full-range content.
Which speaker has better coverage control?
The PD6200/66-WH offers tighter, more predictable directivity with its 60° × 60° horn-loaded pattern, making it ideal for venues where coverage precision matters. The PD595's 90° × 50° pattern provides wider, asymmetrical coverage better suited to main speaker applications.
Which is easier to transport?
The PD6200/66-WH is more compact and modular as a mid-high unit, supporting touring workflows. The PD595 is a heavier full-range cabinet, better suited to semi-permanent or installed deployments.
