SPECIFICATIONS FR129z

FEATURES

•Entry-level access to truly professional loudspeaker systems

•12-in woofer in optimally vented enclosure,

1-in HF on 90° horn

•Handles, rubber footpads, threaded mounting points and pole mount cup standard

•Works with FR250z subwoofer/pole mount base to create an instant PA

DESCRIPTION

A 2-way full range system (passive LF/HF crossover) in a compact vented trapezoidal enclosure. It incorporates a 12- in woofer and a 1-in exit/2-in voice coil compression driver mounted on a 90° x 45° constant directivity horn. Designed primarily for portable applications, the FR129z offers entry- level access to high quality, truly professional loudspeaker systems for musicians and DJ’s servicing small to medium venues.

The system’s full range passive powering is accomplished via EAW’s internal passive crossover/filter network. This com- plex design goes beyond merely dividing the signal by per- forming critical equalization functions.

APPLICATIONS

The FR129ze provides high output full range response in a versatile, compact system. Effective for both permanent and portable applications, it comes with handles, rubber foot- pads, a pole mount cup and three (3) 3/8"-16 threaded mounting/suspension points.

The FR129z is optimized for use with the FR250z dual 15-in subwoofer system which also serves as a pole mount base. In such a configuration, a standard 5-ft mounting pole posi- tions the FR129z’s HF horn above the heads of audience members for maximum coverage. Six Year Warranty.

FR129z specifications

The EAW FR129z is a powerful speaker system that has established itself as a reliable choice for a variety of audio applications, from live performances to fixed installations. This loudspeaker model is part of the EAW (Eastern Acoustic Works) brand, known for its commitment to high-quality sound reinforcement equipment.

One of the standout features of the FR129z is its compact but robust design. The enclosure is built from high-quality birch plywood, which not only contributes to its durability but also helps to enhance the overall sound quality. The cabinet is treated with a weather-resistant finish, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The FR129z is also designed to be lightweight, facilitating easy transport and setup for sound engineers and event organizers.

At the heart of the FR129z is a 12-inch low-frequency driver, which delivers outstanding bass response and clarity. This is complemented by a 1.4-inch compression driver that extends the system’s high-frequency response, ensuring a balanced sound across the frequency spectrum. The speaker is capable of handling a wide range of input power, allowing it to produce high sound pressure levels (SPL) while maintaining fidelity.

Another significant aspect of the FR129z is its advanced acoustic design. The cabinet features a carefully engineered waveguide that helps to control dispersion patterns, providing even coverage across larger areas. This characteristic makes it an ideal choice for venues ranging from small clubs to larger auditoriums, where consistent sound delivery is essential.

From a connectivity standpoint, the FR129z is equipped with professional-grade connectors designed to handle a variety of sound sources. This flexibility makes it compatible with a wide range of mixing consoles and amplifiers. Furthermore, the internal crossover network is designed to optimize performance between the low and high-frequency drivers, ensuring seamless integration and minimized distortion.

In conclusion, the EAW FR129z stands out for its combination of robust build quality, high-efficiency drivers, and advanced acoustic design. Its versatility makes it a favored choice among audio professionals who require reliable performance for both live sound and fixed installations. With its emphasis on sound quality and ease of use, the FR129z continues to be a top contender in the crowded field of professional loudspeakers.
