Frequently asked questions
What's the main sonic difference between dual woofers and three-way design?
The PRX825W's dual 15-inch woofers focus energy on low-end punch and power, while the PRX835W's three-way crossover (at 580 Hz and 2.1 kHz) separates bass, midrange, and treble into dedicated drivers for cleaner frequency isolation. Three-way designs generally deliver clearer vocal and instrument definition.
Which system handles smaller venues better?
The PRX835W is more versatile for medium venues due to its lighter weight (85 lbs), extended high-frequency reach to 20 kHz, and tonal balance. The PRX825W's 138 dB peak SPL is matched by the PRX835W, but the latter's three-way design works better when proximity to the audience is closer.
Do both systems have Wi-Fi control and EQ?
Yes, both include Wi-Fi connectivity via the PRX Connect mobile app with parametric EQ, graphic EQ, and speaker delay control. Both are powered by 1500-watt Class-D amplifiers and hit 138 dB peak SPL.
Which is better for outdoor festivals?
The PRX825W's dual woofers and warm authoritative low-end excel at cutting through outdoor ambient noise and delivering bass across large distances. The PRX835W's extended frequency response to 20 kHz and three-way precision are better suited to indoor venues with controlled acoustics.
