EAW




The new QX Series is the optimal solution for installed system applications that require precise directivity in a powerful compact form. All full-range models have squared, symmetrical, dual-trapezoidal enclosures to provide unlimited array flexibility. A centrally located MF/HF horn and a quartet of 12-inch low frequency transducers team together to ensure that the entire frontal area contributes to horizontal and vertical pattern control capability. Ideal for a wide range of applications including houses of worship, arenas, outdoor stadiums, performing arts venues, theaters and clubs; the premium pattern control and sonic signature of the QX Series is unmatched.


The KF Series of three-way designs built around Kenton Forsythe's unique birch laminate and structural foam midbass horn are EAW's most popular and well known products.


The JF Series models feature premium neodymium components and legendary crossover design in an ingeniously adaptable package that offers unprecedented utility. The JFNT models additionally feature 1500W of amplification, EAW Focusing processing, software-accessible DSP and the proprietary U-Net network.

EAW partners with Lake, Lab.gruppen, and Powersoft whereby all manufacturers will integrate proprietary EAW DSP algorithms into a subset of their respective product lines. Additionally, in Q3, 2010, Lake, Lab.gruppen, and Powersoft will announce separate agreements expanding the partnership to enable EAW to sell a selection of their respective product lines as components in EAW system sales.
