L-Acoustics SYVA-low+top - ranked #1 of 3 Line Array and Installation PA Speakers · Editor's rating 4.4/5

#1 L-Acoustics SYVA-low+top eBay

Pros: Vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 6.05 standalone and 8.11 with an ideal subwoofer, the best in this ranking. Pairing the SYVA line source with SYVA Low adds two 12-inch drivers, extending bass to about 50Hz (-3dB) and 137dB peak SPL. Listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.188, and the 140° horizontal pattern covers wide rooms from one slim column. Measured bass extension of 50Hz (-3dB).

Cons: A passive system that needs L-Acoustics amplified controllers (LA4X, LA12X or LA8). The two-element stack is 2.15m tall and about 50kg, so it is an installed or touring system rather than a grab-and-go box. Vertical coverage is only about 25°, which suits seated audiences but limits use on steep or multi-tier rooms.

How it compares: Just below it: L-Acoustics SYVA.
