EAW® AX366 Arrayable Install Loudspeakers Are at the Heart of the Newly Upgraded P.A. System at Duquesne University's Ballroom
"The large concentric horn design of EAW's AX366 disperses the sound evenly throughout the room," explains Ken Coey, Commercial Sales Manager and Systems Designer at Hollowood. "The AX366 was the perfect fit for this project." Two of the loudspeaker enclosures were used, flown from the ceiling near the sidewalls, which kept reflections to a minimum.
"We used the AX366 in a similar installation recently for Franciscan University's Field house, and they were the perfect solution there, too," recalls Coey. "And the AX366's extended frequency range meant we didn't have to use a subwoofer, so that saved the school even more money without sacrificing any sound quality. My designs always start with the speakers, and EAW is always my first choice. The application-specific design of their products means I'll always have the right speaker to base a design off of."
The EAW AX366 has a horn pattern of 60° x 60°. All AX enclosures, including the companion AX122 subwoofer, have an identically sized, dual trapezoidal shape. The MF/HF transducer loads into a large, common horn via a modified version of the EAW's patented Radial Phase Plug. A unique HF waveguide is integrated within the center of the phase plug. It is acoustically transparent to the MF energy while being acoustically opaque to and acting as a waveguide for the HF energy.
EAW, a world leader in audio system solutions, debuts the KF740 Three-Way Full Range Line Array Loudspeaker, a high-output, extremely lightweight compact speaker module that capitalizes on EAW's modern engineering and manufacturing technology, resulting in EAW's next-generation line array. Based on input from key end-users, and engineered by the same Whitinsville, Massachusetts-based design team responsible for EAW's critically-acclaimed KF Series, the new KF740 line array system brings a new level of performance to modules of its size, having been optimized for the widest possible range of touring and fixed installation applications. The symmetrical design, large horn and spaced woofers provide exceptional pattern control while EAW Focusing and EAW Resolution software, both exclusive, proprietary technologies, further enhance system performance. The KF740 is perfect for applications of nearly any size and delivers output resembling the much larger KF760, but has the footprint and weight of the more diminutive KF730. Because of this optimum ratio of weight, size and output, the KF740 is the ideal solution for a wide variety of applications including touring sound, corporate A/V, sports arenas, houses of worship, performing arts centers, hotel ballrooms and clubs.
