Frequently asked questions
Are the acoustic specs and driver configurations identical?
Yes. Both feature sixteen 50mm full-range drivers, 325W power, switchable 70V/100V transformer with identical tap settings, and switchable 40°/15° vertical coverage patterns. The only functional difference is cosmetic.
What does B-stock mean on the black model?
B-stock typically indicates open-box, returned, or cosmetically imperfect merchandise that still functions fully. Confirm return/warranty policy with your retailer before purchasing, as some B-stock items have limited coverage.
Which finish is better for my venue?
Black suits dark stages, theaters, and outdoor setups where visibility matters less; white works better in bright corporate, educational, and modern spaces where the speaker should blend with light surroundings. Choose based on your environment's dominant color and aesthetic.
Will either model work for touring?
Both are equally portable and designed for touring. The lightweight column design and integrated M6 rigging inserts make either suitable for temporary setups, though you may prefer new condition (white model) for repeated travel to avoid cosmetic wear.
