Whitinsville, MA, USA, June 3, 2013 – Eastern Acoustic Works® (EAW®) has announced that the new QX300 range of full range loudspeaker systems is available for order. EAW President Jeff Rocha made the announcement.

“EAW customers have quickly fallen in love with the unique combination of high output, tremendous pattern control and focused fidelity found in the surprisingly compact QX500 range,” Rocha said. “But they have challenged us to design the same core feature set into an even smaller package. The EAW team has once again delivered and is now thrilled to be launching the QX300 range, a two-way marvel at a price-point that’s extremely attractive.”

The QX300 range surrounds a high-output, low-resonance, 4-in coil / 1.4-in exit high frequency compression driver with four 10-in low frequency cone transducers in vertical and horizontal pairs. EAW engineers have drawn upon their extensive horn design experience to offer six distinct coverage patterns within the range. And unlike the QX500 range, the QX300 range uses different spacing for the vertical and horizontal pairs of LF devices to better match the beamwidth of the system through the crossover transition.

Whitinsville, MA, USA, May 24, 2013 – Eastern Acoustic Works® (EAW®) has announced that the new “i” revisions to the VFR range of full range loudspeaker systems are available for order. EAW President Jeff Rocha made the announcement.

“We’re excited about the “i” revisions,” Rocha said, “and we think our customers will be, too. In addition to getting a more traditional look, we’ve brought over the sleek, elegant handles from the JF Series systems and developed a standard-order installation-only white version with no handles at all. What hasn’t changed is the basic value proposition. For a wide range of customers, the VF Series represents an opportunity to reach a much higher level of performance.”

The VFR range of two-way, full-range loudspeaker systems offers five options based on 15-, 12-, 10-, 8- and 6-in low frequency transducers. Intended for both mobile use and permanent installation, the enclosures of the standard black models include threaded mounting points as well as handles and a pole-mount cup that both accept covers for installations. Similarly, the input panels include both NL-type and barrier strip connectors.
The VF Series draws on core EAW technologies, including horn designs…

Red Certified Front-of-House engineer Martin Frey continues to send us notes from the road. He uses MW10 Microwedges as monitors, and we recently set him up with a UX3600 to deliver the focusing setting as well as the White, Grey and Blue settings developed by Microwedge co-developer Dave Rat. He recently sent us this brief update and a photo.

Martin will host a webinar on drum micing technique on November 6th. Register here…

Pictured here, I’ve just loaded my UX3600 with the GreyBox settings for my MW10′s at FOH. As you can see, the window on my laptop is showing live, real time interaction with my UX3600, with both input and output signal.

Earlier today, I downloaded the newest version of EAW Pilot (released just yesterday) and installed it seamlessly and effortlessly onto my laptop. I had already downloaded the UX8800 processor settings from the EAW.com/docs software page. Installing the USB drivers for the UX3600 in Pilot was both quick and easy, as was loading the MW10 Greybox settings.

10 minutes later, my MW10′s were singing like birds!

With plenty of filters available for tweaking, I can easily…

ASG presents a new video to bring you up to speed about:

Symmetry of Sources and Spaced Low Frequency Sources

Jerrold Stevens, Director of Support and Education, released a new video of the Core Technologies video series, Symmetry of Sources and Spaced Low Frequency Sources. This is the second in a series of videos explaining EAW’s core technologies. Stevens says, “The goal is that these videos educate reps, distributors and users giving them a better understanding of the technology that’s built into their EAW products.” Stevens will produce more of these for publication in the near future. Look out for the next video of the Core Technologies series. Check out the video and learn more about Symmetry of Sources and Spaced Low Frequency Sources by clicking below:

Last month, we posted about the QX Series’ nomination for a Pro Audio Review PAR Excellence award in the Live Sound Hardware/Loudspeaker System category, and we closed the post with the simple exhortation: Vote QX!

Well, now you actually can Vote QX if you’re a subscriber to PAR or Pro Sound News. Voting officially opened last Wednesday, when the current issues of PAR and PSN hit the street, and voting remains open through November 16th.

We’re not surprised that the QX Series has received this honor as it has rapidly become a favorite choice for a range of permanent installation applications. So far, QX Series systems have been used for:

• Stadium and arena installation requiring very high output to cover long throws
• High-end performing arts centers and houses of worship requiring exceptional fidelity
• Dance and live music clubs that want it all

Our exhibition at ISE in Amsterdam gave us the chance to preview our new line of dance club loudspeaker systems: Avalon by EAW.

Like the original Avalon line from the 1990s, we developed these systems in collaboration with legendary club designer/owner John Lyons. While the original Avalon systems power Lyons current flagship venue, Avalon Hollywood, he wanted to take dance club sound to the next level. Naturally, he came back to EAW.

Because these are not yet officially released, we can’t say much more about them than:

1. they exist
2. they’ll be launched officially at Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt
3. they’ll be co-launched at
4. these are two products in a line that will have four mains and at least one sub
5. they look AWESOME

At the top of the page we have codename CLUB.two in Piano Black with Siren Red grille and logo and Piano black horn and surround trim. At left we have CLUB.three in Polar White with Medallion gold grille, logo, horn and surround trim.

Stay tuned for more information on these…

Inspired by Paris one century ago, the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA) 2011 is a month-long cultural celebration that began April 7, bringing together the worlds of dance, music, visual arts, theater, film and literature. The PIFA 2011 events take place across several Center City locations. “Styling a Second Empire: A Light and Sound Experience,” located adjacent to Philadelphia’s historic City Hall, is an outdoor visual experience that included a soundtrack delivered by an EAW® line array speaker system. Saben Shawhan, senior A/V systems consultant with Philadelphia consulting firm Metropolitan Acoustics, LLC, designed the audio system, and Starlite Productions of Moorestown, New Jersey, provided technical and logistical support. The EAW system consists of two stacks, each comprising four EAW KF740 three-way line array modules plus two EAW SB1002 dual 18-inch subwoofers. EAW FB174 flybar/ground stack frames support each cluster. Six Lab.gruppen FP 14000 amplifiers power the two speaker stacks, which are managed by two EAW UX8800 four-channel digital signal processors. A Lab.gruppen NLB 60E NomadLink bridge and network controller, along with a Crestron CP2e and TPS-6x…

EAW offers its KF200NT loudspeaker module. KF200NT is one of EAW’s three recently unveiled comprehensively integrated NT models in its award-winning KF Series. An ideal scalable solution for corporate A/V, performing arts venues, houses-of-worship, retail, ballrooms, theaters, theme parks and more, the KF200NT is quickly becoming a favorite among contractors and system integrators worldwide.

The KF200NT consists of a single 10-inch woofer with 2.5-inch voice coil and a coaxial mid-high driver consisting of 8-inch cone MF with 2-inch voice coil, and 1.75-inch voice coil compression driver HF, and it features a perfectly matched 1500-Watt amplifier. Engineered by EAW’s Whitinsville, Massachusetts, USA-based design team, the KF200NT delivers premium performance in a compact design that offers a lightweight solution. Aside from class-leading neodymium components and co-axial mid/high frequency components, it features EAW Focusing™ processing, software-accessible DSP and the proprietary U-Net™ network.

EAW’s NT units are not conventional P.A. loudspeakers; they incorporate a revolutionary active DSP (digital signal processing) technology known as EAW Focusing. In basic terms, EAW Focusing corrects the sonic problems inherent in conventional compression driver phase plugs,…

Eurohire Sound and Light, a long established turnkey supplier for Europe’s events and entertainments industries, recently expanded its EAW® inventory with the addition of 16 KF740 Three-Way Line Array Modules. The Basingstoke, Hampshire, England-based company is the latest professional sound and lighting company in the U.K. to add the KF740 modules to its extensive inventory of products, which also includes EAW KF760/KF761 Line Array Modules, KF850 Series Virtual Array™ Modules, KF853 Three-Way Virtual Array Modules, SB850z High-Output Subwoofers, BH853 Virtual Array LF Systems, SB250z Medium-Format Subwoofers, MicroWedge Series MW15 and MW12 Stage Monitors, and UX8800 Digital Signal Processors.

“When EAW’s UK Sales Manager Kevin McNally first mentioned they were coming out with the KF740 and gave us the rough dimensions of the box, being smaller and more manageable than some of our current inventory, I knew this would be something we would be interested in,” stated Eurohire Owner Mervin George. “We’ve had the KF760′s for some time, which are great for outside in the summer, long-range or arena-type shows, but we wanted to get into a new system…
