It handles 900 W continuous (AES) at 8 Ω and reaches 125 dB max SPL.

Response is 32 – 300 Hz (±3 dB) with 96 dB sensitivity. Two Neutrik speakON NLT4MPBAG connectors with link-through make it easy to chain cabinets, and the recessed connector dish protects them. Three M10 rigging points allow flying, integrated handles on both sides help with moves, and the optional CHB196 35 mm pole adapter lets you mount a top speaker above it. An 18-gauge steel grill protects the driver.
