Yes, hd32a is a portable, powered speaker - but we like to think of it as more of a portable weapon! like other members of rcf's hd powered speakers (hd10a, hd12a), you can plug a microphone directly into the back of this one. By using a pair of these as your front of house speakers, you'll be doing just fine. With 1400w peak power delivering 131 db max spl, the 2" titanium dome compression driver (with a 3" voice coil) is the not-so-secret ingredient to help get your vocals soaring where they need to. Hd32a weighs in at 18.6 kg, and looks set to be a big part of the future for rcf powered speakers. Features: 1400 watt peak, 700 watt rms Digital bi-amp Dsp sound processing Rcf precision transducers 131 db max spl Rcf precision 3.0" voice coil compression driver, titanium dome Rcf precision 12" woofer
