FAQ
What is the difference between passive and bi-amp operation?
In passive mode, this speaker connects directly to a powered amplifier output through a high-slope passive crossover. In bi-amp mode, separate dedicated amplifiers drive the low-frequency and high-frequency sections independently, allowing for more precise control and equalization of each frequency band.
What mounting and suspension options are available?
This speaker features multiple M10 threaded suspension points on top, bottom, sides, and rear for array flying, overhead suspension, and wall mounting. Optional U-bracket and MultiMount hardware kits are available—contact Procure.ae for accessory details.
Is this speaker suitable for outdoor installation?
Standard models are designed for protected indoor fixed installation. Weather-resistant WRC and WRX finish variants are available for humid, coastal, or outdoor environments. Contact us to discuss options for your specific deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the WRC designation mean for the AC26-WRC?
The WRC suffix typically indicates a weather-resistant or rotatable configuration variant of the AC26, optimized for outdoor, covered outdoor, or challenging environmental conditions where standard models may face moisture or temperature extremes.
Where would I use the AC26-WRC versus a standard AC26?
The AC26-WRC suits outdoor venues, covered pavilions, or humid high-temperature spaces common in the GCC. If your installation is indoors with controlled climate, the standard AC26 may be more cost-effective.
Is the AC26-WRC rugged enough for outdoor worship or events?
Yes, it combines the professional 2-way loudspeaker design with weather-resistant construction to handle outdoor worship services, festivals, or outdoor market venues across the UAE and Gulf region.
How does environmental protection affect the AC26-WRC's sound quality?
Weather-resistant coatings and materials maintain audio performance while guarding against humidity, salt air, and temperature swings. There is no compromise to acoustic response for protected venues.
What mounting flexibility does the AC26-WRC offer?
Like the standard AC26, the WRC variant includes multiple M10 suspension points for flexible vertical or horizontal mounting on poles, structures, or overhead rigging in outdoor and semi-covered applications.
Can the AC26-WRC be moved between indoor and outdoor venues?
Yes, the robust construction and weather protection allow the AC26-WRC to serve both temporary outdoor events and permanent indoor installations, though its weather-resistant features are most valuable in moisture-prone environments.
What are delivery timelines for the AC26-WRC across the GCC?
Procure.ae supplies the AC26-WRC throughout the UAE and wider GCC region on a request-a-quote basis. Contact the team to confirm stock and delivery timeframe for your location and order size.
Does Procure.ae support installation of outdoor AC26-WRC systems?
Yes, installation guidance and professional support are available for outdoor and semi-covered installations across the UAE and GCC. Reach out to discuss your venue conditions and rigging requirements.
What driver setup does the AC26-WRC use?
The AC26-WRC features a 2-way configuration with a low-frequency driver and 25mm compression driver for professional sound reproduction, with weather-resistant enclosure construction.
Is the AC26-WRC built differently than the standard AC26?
Both use multi-ply hardwood plywood construction with M10 suspension points, but the WRC variant includes weather-resistant materials and coatings to protect against moisture and environmental stress.
What is required to operate the AC26-WRC?
The AC26-WRC is passive and requires an external amplifier and speaker cables. No internal power, batteries, or onboard electronics are needed.
