Frequently asked questions
Do I need existing equipment to use these speakers?
The CBT 1000E is a passive extension module that requires both a CBT 1000 column speaker and external amplification to operate. The SRX912M is fully self-powered with built-in amplification and works standalone immediately out of the box.
What are the key low-frequency differences?
The CBT 1000E extends below 38 Hz when paired with the CBT 1000, targeting deep bass with six 165 mm drivers optimized for the 65 Hz–300 Hz band. The SRX912M's single 12-inch woofer extends to 50 Hz with full-range capability but prioritizes portability over extreme low-end extension.
Which is better for touring and mobility?
The SRX912M at 45 lb is purpose-built for mobile rigs and touring with integrated amplification and suspension points. The CBT 1000E requires a CBT 1000 column plus external amp, making it better suited to semi-permanent or larger installed systems.
What control and networking options do they offer?
The CBT 1000E has no networking capabilities—it relies on analog crossover integration. The SRX912M includes dual Ethernet with Neutrik etherCON connectors, HARMAN HControl support, 24 user-adjustable filters, and up to 2,000 ms delay for networked system management.
