• Four 15-in woofers maximize LF output
• Horn-loaded 10-in cone mid frequency section with Radial
Phase Plug™
• Horn-loaded 2-in exit/3-in voice coil HF compression driver
• Asymmetrical horn loading directs coverage down
when positioned flush to wall
• High-output system designed to deliver the extreme level
requirements of high energy dance clubs
The DC1 is engineered for use in permanent installations. The
system includes four 15-in woofers in two optimally vented
enclosures, a h orn-load ed 10-in mi d r ange and a 2-in exit/3-in
voice coil high frequency compression driver on a 90° (h) x
40° (v) dispersion constant directivity horn.
The system comprises three separate enclosures – a central
mid/high section flanked by two LF enclosures. The mid/high
horn dispersion is vertically asymmetrical (+10°,-30°). Each
pair of woofers in the LF section is mounted in a push/pull
configuration to minimize mechanical distortion.
A complex asymmetrical internal passive crossover/filter network provides MF/HF subsystem integration. An MX Series
Close Coupled Processor™ should integrate the LF and MF/HF
subsystems.
The DC1 bi-amplified three-way dance club system provides
high output, high definition reinforcement for large sized
clubs. Overall design is robust to ensure reliability in the face
of continuous peak output operation.
The DC1’s asymmetrical horns direct coverage down when the
enclosures are m ounted flush to a wall. Th e en closure in clud es
balance-optimized threaded mounting points.
Like all EAW pr oducts , it can be special or der ed in virtually any
color to match a specific décor. Six year warranty.
