EAW NTL720 User Manual

NTL720 Specifications

DESCRIPTION

The NTL720 is a very compact, self-powered, 3-way line array
loudspeaker module. Designed for the demands of professional
use, it is ideal for main PA in both portable and installed
applications, including theatres/auditoriums, corporate AV,
houses of worship, and live concert events.

One large MF/HF horn fills the entire face of the enclosure, better
maintaining horizontal pattern control throughout the MF/HF
passband. The curved aperture MF loading slots in the horn
decrease the percentage of open area at any point along the horn,
which greatly minimizes interference to the HF wavefront. The
side-mounted LF drivers are frequency shaded, providing proper
integration with the front-firing LF/MF drivers while supplying
additional LF output and extended horizontal pattern control.

Self-powering is supplied by three individual 500-watt Class D
amplifier modules precisely matched to their own digital signal
processors. Each DSP provides response correction as well as
EQ, delay, level, and delay for additional tailoring and alignment
control. Further, EAW’s Gunness Focusing™ digital filter
algorithms generate precise, complex, filter responses, resulting
in a powerful, horn-loaded loudspeaker that has the natural,
open, detailed reproduction of the best direct radiating designs.

EAWPilot control software provides comprehensive DSP control
as well as monitoring of amplifier status. Input selection is a
choice of analog, AES left/right, and EAW’s proprietary U-Net.
Communication connection options include U-Net and a USB
port on the back panel for interfacing with the DSP.

The FastLatch™ proprietary rigging system is extremely quick
and easy to use, in tandem with the very small and light enclosure.
Cabinet splay angles are selectable in 3-degree increments
between 12 and 0 degrees. Driver, horn and electronic
components - and even entire modules - can be replaced within
built array structures, whether flown or stacked.

Six year loudspeaker warranty. Two year electronics warranty.
