Good to know

This is a passive speaker, so you'll need an external power amplifier. With 8-ohm impedance, it works with most professional amps. The M8 threaded inserts allow for flown installation using appropriate rigging hardware (not included). The black lacquer finish resists scratches, keeping the speaker looking professional even after heavy use.
