Virtual Array™ Design Concepts
The core of Virtual Array™ (VA) design is based upon the fact that a single loudspeaker enclosure rarely provides adequate coverage and output for professional applications. Therefore, how well multiple systems work together is as important as how a single system behaves. Conventional loudspeakers designed for stand-alone performance usually array poorly and create coverage gaps and comb filtering that degrade audio quality. Often it is assumed that, simply because an enclosure has trapezoidal angles, it is arrayable.
 
VA4 Technology
In the 1980's the KF850's Virtual Array Technology significantly reduced interaction between array modules in the horizontal plane. Today, VA4 Technology extends that same level of array control to the vertical plane.
 
Phased PointSource Technology™
Initially designed to solve a major problem with large-scale sound reinforcement.
 
Concentric Phase Aligned Array™ (CPAA)
Standard ceiling-mounted coaxial systems are typicall used for distributed paging systems.
 
Close Coupled Processing™
Close Coupled Processing™ takes the EAW passive crossover/filter design philosophy and applies it to active signal processing.
 
Divergence Shading
Divergence Shading is a superior method of achieving even SPL over distance.
 
Close Coupled Power Module™
EAW self-powered loudspeakers (E-Powered Series) utilize Close Coupled Processing ™ for system-specific amplification.
 
Radial Phase Plug
The distance from a cone transducer's voice coil to its dustcap is shorter than the distance from the voice coil to either the cone or edge surround.
 
SuperSub
The EAW SuperSub contains a usable response down to 21 Hz powered by 12 inch transducers.
