Frequently asked questions
Which speaker is better for outdoor events or worship spaces?
The CBT 200LA-1-WH is IP-55 rated and designed explicitly for outdoor installations and houses of worship, with switchable vertical patterns to manage reflections. The SRX922 lacks outdoor certification and relies on external amp integration, making it less ideal for permanent outdoor duty.
What is the main difference in coverage pattern?
The CBT 200LA-1-WH uses switchable 15° or 30° vertical coverage to project sound in a narrow horizontal column, minimizing floor bounce and controlling throw distance. The SRX922 uses a 90° × 60° point-source pattern for even, omnidirectional coverage across all angles.
Do I need an amplifier with either speaker?
The CBT 200LA-1-WH is passive and requires an external amplifier. The SRX922 is powered with 1100W built-in amplification, requiring only signal and power connections.
Which is easier to rig and transport?
The CBT 200LA-1-WH weighs 31 lbs with a narrow 3.8-inch footprint, making it lighter and easier for manual positioning. The SRX922 weighs 100 lbs but includes QuickLink suspension points and was engineered for touring with equipment carts and truss systems.
