Frequently asked questions
What is the main size and driver difference?
The AM5212/95 uses a 12-inch low-frequency driver; the AM5215/64 uses a 15-inch driver. The larger driver in the AM5215/64 delivers greater acoustic output and deeper bass extension, while the AM5212/95 maintains a more compact footprint.
Which is better for touring?
The AM5215/64 is purpose-built for touring with lightweight construction relative to output, multiply birch enclosure with heavy internal bracing, DuraFlex finish, and 15 rigging points. The AM5212/95 is designed for fixed installations and is less optimized for repeated transport.
What are the output levels and frequency responses?
The AM5212/95 reaches 132 dB SPL at 1 meter with 45 Hz to 20 kHz response and 1000W continuous power. The AM5215/64 specifications emphasize coherent full-range coverage across a 60° × 40° pattern with a 15-inch driver but specific SPL figures are not provided in the description.
Do both speakers have rotatable waveguides?
Yes, both models feature rotatable progressive transition waveguides that allow vertical or horizontal mounting to adapt to room acoustics and throw requirements.
