General EAW Questions

What size amplifier do I need for my EAW loudspeakers?
There is no exact answer to the question of how much amplifier power you should use for a particular loudspeaker. Actually, there are three separate and very distinct issues regarding selecting amplifier power for loudspeakers.


Loudspeaker Power Handling Rating - The power handling rating in EAW's specifications means that the loudspeaker has passed our standard power handling test. In this test the loudspeaker is "exercised" to a point of damage or failure. The power rating resulting from this test is intended to be used as a point of comparison with the power ratings of other loudspeakers. This rating does not necessarily correspond to the best amplifier size to use nor is it a measure of the "safe" amplifier size to use under actual operating conditions.


Preventing Loudspeaker Damage - Preventing damage to or failure of a loudspeaker is not a function of amplifier size nor the loudspeaker's power rating. Preventing damage is a function of operating an audio system so that a loudspeaker is not stressed beyond its limits. If an audio system is operated improperly, damage to or failure of a loudspeaker can occur even with an amplifier sized well below the loudspeaker's power rating. Contrarily, if an audio system is operated properly, damage to or failure of a loudspeaker can be avoided even with an amplifier sized well in excess of the loudspeaker's continuous (or RMS, average, etc.) power rating.


Selecting an Appropriate Amplifier Size
- The amplifier for your loudspeaker should be sized according to both the sound levels required and the type of audio signals that will be reproduced. If you are unsure of how to determine these things, consult a qualified professional or contact EAW's Application Support Group. As a rule of thumb, where the full capability of the loudspeaker is needed to achieve appropriate acoustic output levels, EAW recommends an amplifier that is twice the loudspeaker's power handling specification. This allows the amplifier to reproduce peaks 6 dB above the specified power handling. However, this recommendation does NOT guarantee trouble-free operation, and assumes that operation of the loudspeaker can be properly controlled. It is the responsibility of the audio system operator to ensure that all equipment in the system is operated within its capabilities. That is the only way to ensure that loudspeakers do not get stressed beyond their limits to the point of damage or failure.

DSA

EAW’s new Digitally Steerable Array, or DSA™ Series, represents a radical step forward for small to mid-sized permanent installation applications. In essence, the DSA Series simplifies the KF900/PPST technology that permits digital steering and aiming of an array’s output and adapts it to applications where column loudspeakers would typically be specified.

Like a KF900 array, each driver in a DSA Series loudspeaker enjoys its own individual amplification and digital signal processing (DSP). Using EAW’s free DSA Pilot software program, users can vary the vertical coverage pattern from 15° to 120° as well as aim the coverage ±30°.

Unlike the KF900 system, however, all this power is housed in a compact, column speaker-type enclosure that requires no external amplification or processing. Users only need to connect AC power, audio signal, and network communications cables. DSA Pilot recognizes each loudspeaker connected to the network and allows users to control all of them from a single interface.

This complex, powerful technology has been years in the making, so a review of the engineering goals and design concepts will help the reader better understand the genesis of these amazing loudspeaker systems

±3 dB 45 - 150 Hz
Peak output: 140 dB SPL
For portable use or permanent installation

General Application
Sub
Portable
Install
Club

Size
Small/Medium

Description
The LA400 uses bass horn technology that was developed for the KF940 SuperSub™. It loads a powerful 12 inch woofer on an expanding bass horn that is eight feet in length, and provides extremely high output sub bass response in a compact, portable enclosure. The efficiency provided by EAW's advanced horn-loading techniques permits the LA400 to extend overall system frequency to the lowest octaves.

The LA400 is designed to be easily transportable. The "towel bar" handle across the mouth of the horn and cut-away lower rear corner allows users to roll the LA400 onto its rear-mounted casters with a minimum of effort. Mounting the casters on the enclosure's rear lowers the system's center of gravity during transport for easier rolling and more stable packing. A stout grille protects the drivers from objects that might fall into the horn when on its back.


Applications
The LA400 defies conventional wisdom, which states that an 18 inch woofer is required to drive a bass horn. 18 inch woofers simply do not have the rigidity required to drive the high acoustic impedance present in a horn throat. As a result, traditional 18 inch bass bins get loud, but only produce one note very well. The LA400 in contrast uses a proprietary heavy duty 12 inch woofer. The woofer has the motor structure of a traditional 18 inch device, and its cone is reinforced to be a better engine for compact horn-loading. This woofer is then loaded onto a properly designed bass horn which matches path length to cone area and maximizes driver efficiency. The result is tight, punchy sub bass response that not only will shake your foundation, but is articulate and musical as well.

The horns of multiple enclosures couple acoustically to create a single, larger horn that increases output and provides directivity to very low frequencies. Factory-recommended digital processor settings will enhance LF performance even more. The LA400 is engineered to work as a companion to LA Series full range systems, as well as other high-output compact loudspeaker systems. Laid on its side the LA400 is only 21 inches high, which also makes it very effective in clubs and theatres where subs must be intalled under a low stage.

With the enclosure baffle defining a gentle arc, the drivers form a curved line source to help prevent the vertical pattern from collapsing in the crossover region. At the same time, the drivers act as direct radiators in the horizontal plane, giving the system an extra-wide 140° horizontal dispersion with response that meets professional standards for fidelity and intelligibility.


Applications
Like the classic column speakers of the 1950s and 60's, the LS432 was designed to solve speech-only installation problems in highly reverberant spaces with low ceilings and hard floors. These might include small houses of worship, transportation hubs, and libraries or other civic spaces. The 26 in tall, 6.25 in wide enclosure fits nicely on architectural columns and can be custom painted to blend in with any decor. The enclosure includes a comprehensive system of 1/4-20 threaded mounting points for easy installation

Description
The new MQ Series represents the next generation of permanent installation loudspeaker systems. Using VA4 Technology developed for the new KF700 Series, the MQ range replaces the MH and BV ranges of Virtual Array systems. The Series comprises matched sets of mid/high and low frequency enclosures that enjoy complementary dimensions and trapezoid angles to facilitate the creation of optimized-coverage arrays. The MQ1364 uses a single, horn-loaded 10 in midrange cone with a specially designed geometry that 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 reactance of the subsystem without affecting the directivity of the source, allowing for flawless arraying of multiple MQ mid/high modules. A high power 2 in exit/3 in voice coil high frequency compression driver is mounted on a constant directivity horn for consistent, accurate dispersal of HF information. The MQ1364 provides a nominal coverage pattern of 60° (h) x 40° (v).


Applications
The MQ1364 mid/high module works with the MQ1312 triple 12 in low frequency module to create arrays for use in a wide variety of permanently installed applications. The most common array configuration is two MQ1364’s separated by a single MQ1312. In such an array, a certain amount of splay must be provided to achieve optimal coverage. Rigging systems currently available allow users up to 10° of overlap between the mid/high enclosures. All MQ Series enclosures feature a comprehensive system of 3/8-16 threaded mounting points for maximum flexibility when suspending arrays overhead

Sub

Description
The MQ2315 uses three direct radiating 15 inch cones mounted in a vented trapezoidal enclosure. Its frequency response has been optimized for use as a dedicated low frequency system when used with a companion MQ mid/high loudspeaker. Each driver has its own connections on the input panel. This allows the drivers to be connected in parallel to one amplifier channel or connected individually to separate amplifier channels. The enclosure features a comprehensive system of (16)3/8" threaded suspension points.


Applications
The MQ Series comprises matched sets of mid/high and low frequency enclosures with complementary dimensions. This facilitates creating attractive arrays that provide high definition sound within tightly controlled coverage areas. The MQ2315 is designed to work with a complementary MQ2300 Series mid/high loudspeaker to create a full range audio system. The enclosure is vertically configured for arraying in horizontal rows. Horizontal arrays are typically used in venues where the array must address wide, fan-shaped audiences.

The most common array configuration is two MQ2364e's separated by a single MQ2315. In such an array, the MQ2364e's should be splayed 25° to either side of the MQ2315, netting a splay angle of 50° between mid/high modules. When arraying two MQ2394e's separated by a single MQ2315, all enclosures should be tight-packed to achieve optimal coverage. This configuration will net a splay angle of 80° between mid/high modules. All splay angles reference the center line of the enclosures.
