DIMENSIONAL DRAWING

A & E SPECIFICATIONS

The three-way full range loudspeaker systems shall incorporate 2x 15-in LF transducers, 2x 7-in cone MF tr ansducers and a 2-in exit/3-in voice coil compression driver HF transducer.

The LF drivers shall be mounted in a vented enclosure tuned for optimum low frequency response. The MF drivers shall be mounted in a sealed subenclosure. The HF driver shall be loaded on an asymmetrical wave guide plate with a nominal coverage pattern of 90° (h) x 70° (v). 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 50 Hz to 20 kHz measured on axis. In passive mode, the loudspeaker shall prod uce a Soun d Pressur e Level (SPL) of 100 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 Watt, and shall be capable of producing a peak output of 133.8 SPL on axis at 1 meter. It shall handle 600 Watts of amplifier power (AES Standard) and shall have a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms.

In bi-amped mode , the mi d/hi gh frequen cy section shall m eet all passive mode performance criteria. In addition, the low frequency section in bi-amped mode shall be capable of producing a peak output of 136.0 SPL on axis at 1 meter. Th e low frequency section in bi-amped mode shall handle 1000 Watts of amplifier power (AES Standard) and shall have a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms.

The loudspeaker enclosure shall be 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 pain t. Input conn ectors shall be dual Neutrik NL4 Speak on. The system shall include a switch allowing it to be operated in biamp or passive powering mode. The following mounting/suspension hardware shall be provided: two 3-position flytrack with integral 3/8"-16 threaded mounting points (2 on top) and eight 3/8"-16 threaded moun ting points (2 per side, 3 bottom, 1 back). The front of th e loudspeaker shall be covered with a powder coated perforated steel grille.

The three-way full range loudspeaker shall be the EAW model LA325.
