Frequently asked questions
Which speaker handles outdoor permanent installation better?
The AW566 is purpose-built for all-weather outdoor use with stainless steel grille, UV-resistant composite enclosure, and no special weatherproofing required. The AM7315/95 has DuraFlex finish for durability but is optimized for touring and indoor venues.
Which produces higher sound pressure level?
The AM7315/95 reaches 141 dB SPL in tri-amp mode, while the AW566 specifications do not list a comparable maximum SPL rating, suggesting lower peak output capacity. The AM7315/95 is engineered for higher-pressure large venue coverage.
What is the key driver difference?
The AM7315/95 uses a three-way design with separate 15-inch woofer, 8-inch midrange, and 1.5-inch tweeter for frequency separation. The AW566 uses a two-way system with a 15-inch driver and compression driver, delivering simpler coverage tuning.
Which speaker is better for throw distance and directional control?
The AW566 features a dual voice coil, dual magnetic gap 15-inch driver specifically designed for extended throw, plus a rotatable 60° × 60° waveguide for consistent directional coverage. The AM7315/95 prioritizes even off-axis response with a 90° × 50° pattern suitable for broader venue angles.
