Kling Freitag PIA M - ranked #4 of 13 Line Array and Installation PA Speakers · Editor's rating 4.1/5

#4 Kling Freitag PIA M Passive eBay

Pros: High-quality manufacturer measurements give preference scores of 4.50 standalone and 7.92 with an ideal subwoofer, with a 1.7dB reference band and 0.82 predicted in-room smoothness. The 3-way column has an adjustable tweeter array (5°, 15° or 25° vertical), a cardioid midrange and a woofer section switchable between bass reflex and cardioid to cut sound behind the speaker. It reaches 132dB from a slim 12.2kg cabinet. Measured bass extension of 95Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Bass is limited, at 95Hz for -3dB and about 82Hz for -10dB in bass-reflex mode, so it needs a subwoofer for music. It is passive and meant for Kling & Freitag amplifiers, and it is sold only through pro dealers with no published price.

How it compares: Just above it: JBL CBT 1000. Just below it: L-Acoustics SYVA.
