TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS MQV1394
FEATURES
•Full Range VA4™ loudspeaker system
•Optimized for permanent install only
•Direct radiating 15-inch woofer in optimally vented 
enclosure
•Horn loaded 10-inch cone with VA4™ phase plug
•2-inch exit/75mm voice coil compression driver on 
constant directivity horn
DESCRIPTION
The MQV Series is part of the next generation of permanent 
installation loudspeakers. Using VA4™ Technology developed 
for the KF700 series, the MQV range replaces the ASV range 
of virtual array systems.
The MQV1394 uses a single, direct radiating 15-inch woofer 
in an optimally vented enclosure.
A single, horn loaded 10-inch midrange cone with a special 
geometry is used which produces a time coherent wavefront 
through the upper portion of the midrange that is critical to 
vocal articulation. A phase plug with radial slots then serves 
to reduce the mechanical resistance of the subsystem without affecting the directivity of the source, allowing flawless 
vertical arraying of multiple MQV modules
A high power 2-inch exit/75mm voice coil compression driver 
is mounted on a constant directivity horn for consistent, 
accurate dispersal of HF information.
APPLICATIONS
The MQV1394 is engineered as a full range component for 
very large format arrays and is an effective tool in largescale permanent installations. Comprehensive mounting 
points allow for flexible installation.
Applications include:
Large Church  Large Arenas 
Stadiums

ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS
The three-way full range loudspeaker system shall incorporate a 15-in woofer (vented), a 10-in cone MF transducer, 
and a 2-in exit compression driver HF transducer.
The MF driver shall be loaded into a midrange horn constructed of 3mm birch plywood reinforced with high density 
polyurethane foam. The MF horn shall incorporate a radial 
phase plug. The HF driver shall be loaded on constant directivity horn with a nominal coverage pattern of 90° (h) x 45° 
(v).
System frequency response shall vary no more than ±3 dB 
from 50 Hz to 16 kHz measured on axis. The midrange frequency section shall produce a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 
108 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 Watt, 
and shall be capable of producing a peak output of 141 SPL 
on axis at 1 meter. The high frequency section shall produce 
a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 110 dB SPL on axis at 1 
meter with a power input of 1 Watt, and shall be capable of 
producing a peak output of 139 SPL on axis at 1 meter. The 
midrange frequency section shall handle 400 Watts of amplifier power (AES Standard) and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms. The high frequency section shall handle 200 
Watts of amplifier power (AES Standard) and shall have a 
nominal impedance of 8 Ohms.
The loudspeaker enclosure shall be trapezoidal in shape. It 
shall be constructed of 15mm thickness void-free cross-grainlaminated Baltic birch plywood and shall employ extensive 
internal bracing. It shall be finished in wear-resistant textured black paint. Input connectors shall be 1x 6-terminal 
barrier strip and one Neutrik NL8 Speakon. A total of sixteen 
3/8"-16 threaded mounting points (4 each top, bottom and 
sides) shall be provided. The front of the loudspeaker shall 
be covered with a powder coated perforated steel grill.
The three-way full range loudspeaker shall be the EAW model 
MQV1394.
