Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of facilities typically use 12-inch 2-way loudspeakers?
Auditoriums, worship centers, theaters, and medium-capacity live music venues commonly use 12-inch systems for reliable speech clarity and musical reproduction across their audiences.
How does the 37 Hz frequency response help in a live event?
A 37 Hz low end provides sufficient bass for speech, acoustic instruments, and contemporary music, while maintaining a compact footprint compared to larger woofers that might require extra rigging and power.
Can I configure this speaker for biamped audio?
Yes, the Passive/Biamp design allows you to run it passive (single amplifier feed) or bi-amped (separate amplifiers for lows and highs) depending on your console and amp rack setup.
Is this system suitable for both sermon and music performances?
Absolutely. The 20 kHz upper range and balanced frequency response make it effective for clear speech pickup and full-range music, making it a workhorse for multipurpose venue applications.
How would I mount this in a small auditorium?
The compact 12-inch format allows wall-, ceiling-, or pole mounting depending on your venue layout and rigging infrastructure. Contact Procure.ae to discuss mounting options for your space.
What level of sound pressure can I expect at typical operating distances?
To confirm the maximum SPL and coverage pattern for this model, contact Procure.ae with your venue specifications and seating distance for a detailed acoustic assessment.
How long does delivery typically take for PA speakers across the UAE?
Delivery timelines depend on stock availability and your location within the UAE. Request a quote from Procure.ae to confirm the expected lead time for your order.

What drivers and components make up this 2-way system?
This 2-way system pairs a 12-inch woofer with a dedicated tweeter for smooth frequency coverage. Contact Procure.ae to request detailed specifications on driver types and crossover design.
Is a warranty or support package included with purchase?
Warranty and support terms vary by region and reseller. Procure.ae can provide complete warranty details and support conditions when you request your quote.
What distinguishes the Passive/Biamp model from weather-resistant variants?
This standard model prioritizes performance in indoor and covered environments, whereas weather-resistant variants add protective coatings and materials for outdoor durability. Choose based on your venue conditions.
