Frequently asked questions
Which speaker is better for touring?
The PRX925 is purpose-built for touring: it integrates amplification, requires only a signal cable and power, and offers remote app control for phase and EQ adjustment without physical access to the cabinet. The AM5215/64 demands external amplification and manual crossover settings, making it less practical for rapid deployment.
What's the real difference in bass performance?
The PRX925 uses dual 15-inch woofers with dedicated amplification and a 43Hz low-frequency floor, delivering deeper, controlled low-end extension. The AM5215/64 uses a single 15-inch differential-drive woofer and requires adequate external amplifier power; its bass reach depends entirely on amp choice and venue acoustics.
Can I use the AM5215/64 with an old amplifier I already own?
Yes. The AM5215/64 is passive and accepts both speakON connectors and barrier-strip terminals, so it works with any amplifier rated for its impedance. The PRX925 is powered and does not require external amplification—it is standalone.
Which is more suited to fixed installation?
Both suit installation, but the AM5215/64 is lighter, offers more amp-placement flexibility, and its passive design integrates into centralized amplifier racks. The PRX925 is better for situations where speakers need independent power distribution or networked control across multiple units.
