Application and process
Name the room: meeting breakout, parade cart, house of worship overflow, or school gym. Note audience size as a range, such as 40 to 80 people, and whether speech or recorded music dominates. That range is a planning input, not a predicted SPL.
Inputs and interfaces
List the control interface you expect: rear knobs, a small mixer, or a networked audio port. Record impedance only when a passive cabinet is in the set. For a powered cabinet, record the line-level source instead.
Duty and throughput
A lunchtime keynote and a six-hour exhibition shift are different duty patterns. Ask how battery runtime was measured, at what volume relative to rated power, and whether a spare pack is in the bill of materials. Throughput here means how many room resets a crew can finish between sessions, for example 3 resets inside 8 hours. Input voltage at 120 V, 60 Hz, single phase, is a separate cell from a 24 V pack. Ingress protection, ambient temperature from 0 °C to 40 °C, and noise level at 1 m are request fields. Working envelope includes door width, often 800 mm, and elevator depth. Repeatability asks whether the same preset file can be reloaded after a driver change. Delivered cost still waits for the Incoterm.
Files and acceptance
Request a datasheet edition, a dimensioned drawing, and a specification deviation sheet. A factory acceptance test can be a checklist of power, impedance and SPL method before shipment. You decide which rows are mandatory.
