SPECIFICATIONS LA215

A & E SPECIFICATIONS

The two-way full range loudspeaker systems shall incorporate a 15-in LF transducer and a 2-in exit/3-in voice coil compression driver HF transducer.

The LF driver shall be mounted in a vented enclosure tuned for optimum low frequency response. The HF driver shall be loaded on an axis-symmetrical wave guide plate with a nomi-

nal coverage pattern of 90° (conical). An internal passive

filter network shall provide fourth order acoustical crossover and system equalization.

System frequency response shall vary no more than ±3 dB

from 69 Hz to 18 kHz measured on axis. The loudspeaker shall produce a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 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 130.8 SPL on axis at 1 meter. The loudspeaker shall handle 600 Watts of amplifier power (AES Standard) and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms.

The loudspeaker enclosure shall be irregularly pentagonal in shape. Rubber footpads shall be provided on one side and one end. It shall be constructed of 1/2-in thickness voidfree cross-grain-laminated Baltic birch plywood and shall employ extensive internal bracing. It shall be finished in black catalyzed polyurethane. Input connectors shall be dual Neutrik NL4 Speakon. The following mounting/suspension hardware shall be provided: three 3-position flytracks with integral 3/8"-16 threaded mounting points (2 top, 1 rear), six 3/8"-16 threaded mounting points (1 top, 1 rear, 2 each on two sides) and a recessed cup to accept a standmount pole. The front of the loudspeaker shall be covered with a vinyl coated perforated steel grille.

The two-way full range loudspeaker shall be the EAW model LA215.
