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.
