Import Tips
• High-power units require acoustic testing reports to substantiate multiple driver claims against single-speaker competitors
• Ensure SPL (sound pressure level) specs in documentation highlight multi-speaker design for proper tariff placement
• Watch for reclassification to 8527 if adaptive EQ suggests radio integration, though Bluetooth-only avoids this
