PERFORMANCE

• Ideal size and performance for rigorous all-purpose use

• Wide 90° coverage optimized for use in stand-alone applications

• HF compression driver and vented LF for fully professional performance

• Asymmetric enclosure provides multiple mounting angles

• Pole mount cup & fly track, plus Omnimount® Series 300 or similar mounting points

• Passive or bi-amplified operating modes

The JFX290 is a 2-way multi-purpose loudspeaker. Its multifunctional design adds considerably to its value as a fullrange loudspeaker . Combinin g hi gh output and natural repr oduction, it is specifically outfitted to serve in a variety of both portable and permanent applications. The asymmetric enclosure provides typical angles needed for ceiling and wall mounting as well as for stage monitor operation. For permanent installation, enclosure hardware includes mounting points for an Omnimount® Series 300 or similar bracket and fly track for suspensi on. Provisions for portable use include a pole mount cup, top/bottom fly track f or riggin g, and han dles integral to the enclosure that facilitate handling and transport. The JFX290 is particularly suitable as a near field main loudspeaker or as a fill/delay element in larger systems. While the JFX290 is well suited as is for many applications, the addition of a subwoofer expands its capabilities for more demanding applications such

as for houses of worship, theaters,

and band PA. Six year warranty.

• Portable systems or permanent installations

• Wall and ceiling mountings

• Ideal size and output for wide range of program material

• Main PA reinforcement in medium- to large-sized spaces

• Downfill for flown clusters

• High SPL stage lip / delay fill

• A/V and/or surround sound installations

• Voice & F/X reinforcement in themed attractions

INPUT PANEL

PHYSICAL continued

The 2-way full-range loudspeaker shall incorporate a 12-in LF cone and a 3-in voice coil neodymium HF compression driver. The LF cone shall be moun ted in a vented enclosure tuned f or optimum low frequency response. The HF driver shall be loaded on a 1.4-in exit constant directivity horn with a nominal beamwidth of 90 (H) x 45 (V) degrees. An internal passive crossover network shall offer either passive or bi-amplified operation, configurable via a power mode switch on the input panel.

System frequency response shall vary no more than +

3 dB from 90 Hz to 16 kHz measured on axis . When amplifi ed usin g the internal passive crossover network, the loudspeaker shall produce a sound pressure level of 97 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 watt, and shall be capable of producing a peak output of 130 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter. It shall handle 500 watts of amplifier power and shall have a nominal impedan ce of 8 ohms . When bi-amplifi ed, the LF section shall produ ce a soun d pr essur e level o f 97 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 watt, and shall be capable of producing a peak output of 130 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter. It shall handle 500 watts of amplifier power and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. The HF section shall produce a sound pressure level of 104 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 watt, and shall be capable of producin g a peak output of 133 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter. It shall handle 200 watts of amplifier power and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms.

The loudspeaker enclosure shall be irregularly trapezoidal in shape. It shall be constructed of exterior grade Baltic birch plywood and shall employ extensive internal bracing. It shall be finished in wear-resistant te xtured black paint. Input connectors shall be 2x Neutrik NL4 Speakon wired in parallel. It shall include a pole mount cup and handles integral to the enclosure. One 11-position fly track and two 3-position fly tracks shall be provided on the top and bottom of the enclosure respectively. Four 5/16"-18 thread ed mountin g points f or use with an Omnimount® Series 300 (or similar) shall be provided on the rear of the enclosure. The front of the loudspeaker shall be covered with a foam backed, powder coated perforated steel grille.

The 2-way full-range loudspeaker shall be the EAW model JFX290.
