The EAW QX Series of loudspeakers is aimed at installed system applications, promising ‘size-efficient yet very high output point source clusters’.
The series is geared toward medium-to-large-sized spaces, including sports arenas, but is also designed for other venues requiring high power and consistent coverage in a compact housing. Intended applications include houses of worship, outdoor stadiums, performing arts venues, theatres and nightclubs.
The passive, wired-for-biamplification QX Series draws on resources gained through the development of EAW’s AX Series. All full-range models have squared, symmetrical, dual-trapezoidal enclosures to provide extensive array flexibility. A centrally located co-axial MF/HF horn and two pairs (four) of phase-aligned neodymium 12-inch low-frequency transducers ensure that the entire frontal area contributes to horizontal and vertical pattern control capability.
‘Our QX Series models offer high-end acoustical consultants and large design system contractors the ultimate in output and efficiency in a compact package,’ says EAW Senior Director of Engineering, Jeff Rocha. ‘The aim is always to provide great-sounding solutions for a wide variety of applications, responding to direct input from leading contractors and system integrators in the field, and the QX Series delivers on that promise.’
The five new models include the QX596 (90° x 60°), QX594 (90° x 45°), QX566 (60° x 60°), QX564 (60° x 45 °) and QX544 (45° x 45 °). All units measure 27.96-inch x 27.96-inch x 23.95-inch and weigh 130lbs. A variety of installation applications and accessories provide added flexibility for the installer.
