Frequently asked questions
Can I use the ASB6112-WH and SRX906LA together?
Yes. The SRX906LA can serve as a main speaker while the ASB6112-WH adds sub-bass reinforcement beneath it. However, the SRX906LA alone covers 63 Hz–17 kHz, so additional bass is only necessary for very large venues or extremely low-end-heavy music.
Which is better for a small touring company?
The SRX906LA is more self-contained; it needs only a single power cable and audio input per unit. The ASB6112-WH requires an external powered speaker or amplifier to function, making it less flexible for quick deployments unless integrated into an existing rig.
What is the frequency-response difference?
The ASB6112-WH operates 35 Hz–1 kHz and focuses purely on sub-bass. The SRX906LA covers 63 Hz–17 kHz, handling bass, midrange, and treble in one enclosure. For venues needing deep sub-bass (below 40 Hz), the ASB6112-WH is the better choice.
Which requires more technical skill to set up?
The SRX906LA has onboard DSP and can be optimized via tablet, but requires learning its software. The ASB6112-WH is simpler—it is passive and simply connects to an amp—but you must already have an amplified system in place.
