Frequently Asked Questions
Bi-amping allows for more precise control of the woofer and tweeter, leading to better transient response and a more balanced frequency spectrum – it’s noticeably cleaner than running it passively.
It excels in venues requiring substantial SPL and robust build quality, like clubs, theaters, and outdoor events; it's not ideal for small, acoustically treated rooms.
Given the 20.1 kg weight, invest in a quality speaker lift system and ensure secure mounting points – proper rigging is crucial for safety and ease of use.
