TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS LS832

•Line source loudspeakers with coherent, intelligble, con- sistent coverage from 200 Hz to 20 kHz

•System includes 8x 4-in woofers and 3x 1-in soft dome tweeters

•Sophisticated frequency shading produces coherent sum- mation of the multiple drivers

•Line source coupling effects keep vertical coverage narrow throughout the vocal range

•Direct radiating drivers provide extra wide horizontal cov- erage

•Low ceiling, hard floor – no problem

DESCRIPTION

EAW’s LS832 line source loudspeaker system brings the clas- sic column speaker up-to-date. Sophisticated frequency shad- ing integrates the 8x 4-in woofers and 3x 1-in soft dome tweeters, maximizing the benefits of line source coupling while eliminating grading lobes.

The system maintains a well behaved nominal vertical cov- erage pattern of 20° to below 630Hz. Even at 500 Hz, the vertical pattern is still 45° . With the enclosure baffle defin- ing a gentle arc, the drivers form a curved line source to help prevent the vertical pattern from collapsing in the crossover region.

At the same time, the drivers act as direct radiators in the horizontal plane, giving the system an extra-wide 140° hori- zontal coverage pattern with response that meets profes- sional standards for fidelity and intelligibility.

The internal passive crossover/filter network uses complex, asymmetrical slopes to integrate the subsystems and goes beyond merely dividing the signal to perform critical equal- ization functions.

APPLICATION

Like the classic column speakers of the ‘50s and 60’s, the LS Series was designed to solve speech-only installation prob- lems in highly reverberant spaces with low ceilings and hard floors. These might include small houses of worship, librar- ies or other civic spaces, and transportation hubs.

The 44.08-in tall, 6.25-in wide enclosure fits nicely on ar- chitectural columns and can be custom painted to blend in with any decor. The enclosure includes a comprehensive sys- tem of 1/4”-20 threaded mounting points for easy installa- tion.
