Buying advice

When choosing a pro audio speaker, consider your typical venue size and music style. For small gigs, a 12" speaker may suffice for better portability, while 15" speakers offer more bass. Look for power ratings (RMS) rather than peak, and check connectivity options (XLR, TRS, Bluetooth). Brands like QSC, Yamaha, and EV offer reliable warranties. Always listen before buying if possible, as tonal balance varies.
