DESCRIPTION

The MicroWedge MW15 is a collaboration between original
MicroWedge Series inventor Dave “Rat” Levine (owner of Rat Sound
Systems, Inc.) and the EAW Engineering Department, resulting in
dramatically upgraded performance and ergonomics. A 15 inch woofer
is paired with a 3 inch voice coil HF compression driver on a horn that
provides full yet controlled 90 degree horizontal dispersion.
All frequencies emanate from the exact same point, eliminating
crossover region problems and time/phase irregularities, as well as
optimizing coherency. The coaxial approach also contributes to a very
compact, low-profile footprint.

MicroWedge MW15 monitors are processor enhanced (rather than
processor dependant) for true “plug and play” operation. User
selectable single-amp and bi-amp modes are provided. The large port
on the front of the cabinet enhances LF response in coupling with the
floor, and this port houses both the carrying handle and the passive/
active mode switch. The port also contains dual input connectors,
keeping them concealed and protected, and allowing wedges to be
placed as close together as desired. Additional cable can be stored in
the port without impacting LF performance.

Rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure reduce abrasion, and new
integral rigging hardware – also mounted on the enclosure bottom –
facilitates easy flying. The Baltic birch cabinets are protected with
EAW’s RoadCoat™ finish that’s extremely durable, and the rugged
steel grille keeps its distinctive shape even when stood upon. All
components are highly liquid tolerant – virtually impervious to spilled
drinks as well as natural elements like rain.
