Frequently asked questions
Will the B-stock unit sound the same as the new one?
Yes. Both have identical drivers, enclosure design, and specifications. B-stock refers to condition, not audio performance.

Is the AC28/26 suitable for live sound reinforcement?
Yes. Both units are rated for live performance with 375W continuous and 1500W peak handling, controlled 120° × 60° coverage, and six M8 rigging points for flexible deployment.

Both cover 65 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB) with 53 Hz lower extension at –10 dB, delivering solid low-end presence via dual 8-inch woofers without muddy bloat.
