Frequently asked questions
Which system is easier to deploy for touring?
The SRX812P requires no external amplification or processing—just audio input and power. The SRX835 requires you to provide and cable an external amplifier, though it can be paired with factory-tuned presets for Crown and dbx processors.
What is the main output difference between these two?
The SRX835 reaches 137 dB peak SPL with its larger 15-inch driver and three-way design. The SRX812P delivers powerful output with low distortion via its 2,000W built-in amp and 12-inch two-way design, but specific peak SPL is not detailed in the provided specifications.
Can either system stack or fly in rigging?
Both include M10 suspension points and mounting options. The SRX835 explicitly lists twelve M10 suspension points and a 36mm pole socket for flying rigs and stacking, while the SRX812P includes M10 suspension points and indexed feet for flexible configurations.
Which is better for a small venue or mobile DJ setup?
The SRX812P's integrated amplification and lighter 12-inch format make it more portable for small venues. The SRX835's 15-inch three-way design and higher peak SPL (137 dB) suit larger venues and DJ applications where maximum output is prioritized.
