DESCRIPTION

A three-way full range system (passive LF/MF/HF crossover) in a compact vented trapezoidal enclosure. It includes a 15- in woofer, a 6.5-in midrange cone in a sealed, internal subenclosure and a 1-in exit/2-in voice coil compression driver mounted on a 100° (conical) Wave Guide Plate™ (WGP™). Designed primarily for portable applications, the FR153z offers entry-level access to high quality, truly pro- fessional loudspeaker systems for musicians and DJ’s servic- ing small to medium venues.

True three-way asks each transducer to operate only in its optimum passband for superior overall response. By han- dling the majority of the vocal range within a dedicated midrange subsystem, true three-way design provides increased intelligibility for more natural sounding vocals.

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 FR153z 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 FR153z 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 FR153z’s HF subsystem above the heads of audi- ence members for maximum coverage. Six Year Warranty.
