Description

The CF350 brings the smooth

response,
low distortion and high output capabilities of
EAW's larger horn loaded systems in a slightly
smaller package and at a price that is within
the reach of all performing musicians. It is
intended for use as the main sound reinforce
ment system for musical performing groups.
The use of true horn loading over its entire
operating range results in significantly higher
efficiency than any competitive system using
vented enclosures., Additionally, the advanced
Forsythe designed horns exhibit response
accu
racy greater than most direct radiating
systems,
eliminating the response peaks that plague all
competitively priced horn loaded systems.

The low frequency section of the CF350 consists
of an RCF L18/854 380 mm (15-in) driver loaded into a
Forsythe designed bent bass horn. The bass horn and
cabinet is constructed from 3/4 inch plywood with
birch hardwood exterior for excellent resistance to

transport abuse. This material offers better strength-to-weight
ratio and sheering resistance than the carpet covered particle
board or cheap plywood that is used in competitive systems.
This domestic birch faced plywood is considerably less
expensive than the imported', cross-grain-laminated birch
used in EAW's ., larger systems and is one of the key
elements in keeping this advanced system competitively.

The critical vocal mid frequency** band (350 to 3,500
