NT Series products are not just magnificent sounding loudspeakers. At every step in the system design and with unstinting attention to detail, EAW engineers have made sure that the NT Series stands up to the challenges of sound reinforcement with rigorous integrity.

Ultra-Lightweight Construction
Leveraging EAW’s comprehensive in-house production facility and computer-controlled woodworking equipment, NT Series enclosures employ complex, innovative joinery. In concert with carefully controlled enclosure geometry, these joints offer superior strength while eliminating the heavy internal bracing and reinforcing cleats that simpler joints require. Fly-cutting excess wood where the full thickness is not needed, and removing unnecessary grill railings, further reduces weight while preserving strength. As a result, the NT Series features remarkably lightweightenclosures even though the construction employs high-quality, sonically inert Baltic birch plywood throughout. The unbeatable power-to-weight performance of the NT Series means lower shipping costs, easier load-in and load-out, reduced strain on venue fly points, and greater flexibility when it comes to hanging enclosures where they need to be — not just where they have to be.

Orbital Magnet Arrays™
NT Series drivers feature EAW’s Orbital Magnet Array technology. Trading on the many advantages of neodymium magnets, this driver construction technique employs a number of small individual magnets distributed around the voice coil gap. This produces a magnet structure that works as well as, or better than, conventional designs but with an added bonus: gaps that provide for cooling air circulation around the voice coil. The result is vastly improved continuous power handling and extended long-term reliability, with far greater efficiency than ferrous magnets.

Powered for Performance
All NT Series loudspeakers incorporate highly efficient, field-replaceable amplifier modules with digital signal processing for response correction. Excursion limiters protect the system and assure maximum output capability while maintaining sound quality. Onboard DIP switches configure the DSP for specific NT models, minimizing replacement parts inventory and simplifying service. Intelligent power supply control affords optimum efficiency with superior immunity from AC line variations, and self-resetting protection circuitry guards against output overload, overheating, power supply faults and excess output current. Convection cooling eliminates the need for noisy fans. The electronic design is so efficient that the 1500W amplifier package (2000W for the NTS22 subwoofer) weighs only 9 lb. (4.1 kg).
NT Series full-range models incorporate structural aluminum fly tracks that run the length of the enclosure on each side. Doubling as carrying handles, the fly tracks convey load stresses directly, isolating the wood enclosure from excess forces. A fully engineered complement of couplers, fittings and rigging brackets provides versatility to accommodate a wide variety of applications with ease while maintaining proper array angles for smooth, consistent coverage. Built-in fittings permit standalone pole mounting with the NTS22 subwoofer as the base, forming an extremely compact, portable music system that is quick and easy to set up or tear down.
