Frequently asked questions
Can I use the SRX918S VT for home or studio applications?
No. The SRX918S VT is a transport cart only—it is not an audio component and does not produce sound. It is designed exclusively for moving SRX918S subwoofers during touring and rental operations.
Is the Control 440CS/T suitable for high-SPL live music venues?
No. The Control 440CS/T is rated for 117 dB continuous SPL and is optimized for commercial speech reinforcement and background music in retail and hospitality spaces, not for high-energy live concert sound.
What is the key installation advantage of the Control 440CS/T?
The integrated 80W multi-tap transformer with switchable power taps (80W, 40W, 20W, 10W) accommodates both 70V and 100V distributed systems without requiring a separate matching transformer, simplifying retrofit into existing ceiling infrastructure.
How many subwoofers can the SRX918S VT transport at once?
The SRX918S VT is engineered to support up to three SRX918S cabinets stacked vertically, with built-in nesting capability for compact storage when multiple carts are not in use.
