Frequently asked questions
Can I use the VRX-SMAF with speakers other than VRX928LA?
No. The VRX-SMAF is designed specifically for VRX928LA line array loudspeakers. It is a rigging accessory, not a standalone product.
Is the PRX412M suitable for small venues and outdoor events?
Yes. The PRX412M's 35 lb weight, compact footprint, and flexible mounting options (tripod or rigging) make it ideal for small-to-medium venues, outdoor events, and portable setups.
What is the key functional difference between these two products?
The PRX412M is a complete two-way loudspeaker system that produces sound independently. The VRX-SMAF is hardware infrastructure for suspending and organizing multiple VRX928LA speakers into a line array configuration; it produces no sound on its own.
Which product is better for a touring sound company?
That depends on your needs. For general touring with flexibility in speaker choice, the PRX412M's portability works well. For dedicated line array touring with VRX928LA speakers, the VRX-SMAF's quick-release rigging is essential infrastructure.
