Frequently asked questions

Are the specs and performance identical between these two?

Yes. Both models feature dual 15-inch Differential Drive transducers, 1600 W continuous power (6400 W peak), 127 dB SPL output, identical dimensions, and IP-55 weather rating. The only differences are color and stock condition.

What does B-stock mean for the black model?

B-stock typically indicates returned, display, or cosmetically imperfect units that function perfectly. Specs and performance are identical to new gray stock, but the black unit may have minor scratches, dents, or packaging differences.

Which color is better for my touring rig?

Black blends into dark stages and backgrounds; gray matches the standard VLA Compact line array modules visually. Neither affects sound quality—choose based on your stage aesthetics and whether you're building a uniform gray system.

Is there a warranty difference?

B-stock units may have limited or different warranty terms than new standard stock. Confirm warranty details with the retailer before purchase if coverage is important to your operation.
