Frequently asked questions
What is the main acoustic difference between three-way and two-way designs?
The AM7315/95's three-way system includes a dedicated 8-inch midrange driver alongside the woofer and tweeter, creating smoother tonal transitions and cleaner midrange articulation. The AW566's two-way design pairs only a 15-inch woofer and compression tweeter, prioritizing extended throw and outdoor durability over midrange refinement.
Which speaker is better for permanent outdoor installations?
The AW566 is purpose-built for permanent outdoor use with multilayer glass composite enclosure, stainless steel grille, and UV-resistant design. The AM7315/95 offers Finnish birch plywood with DuraFlex finish suitable for both indoor and outdoor touring but requires more maintenance in harsh weather.
How do coverage patterns differ between these systems?
The AM7315/95 provides 90°×50° coverage (wide horizontal, controlled vertical) for venues where off-axis clarity matters and vertical dispersion must be limited. The AW566 offers symmetric 60°×60° coverage for consistent directional throw in all planes, ideal for stadium seating or outdoor commercial zones.
What are the key SPL and sensitivity specifications?
The AM7315/95 delivers 141 dB SPL maximum in tri-amp mode with 108 dB sensitivity. The AW566 specifications are not fully detailed in the provided information, but it features a high-power dual voice coil design engineered for extended output and stadium-scale coverage without the tri-amping requirement.
