SM15 specifications

The EAW SM15, a highly regarded speaker system from Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW), is designed for a variety of professional audio applications, including touring, live events, and permanent installations. The SM15 combines advanced audio engineering with robust construction, making it a popular choice among sound engineers and venue operators.

One of the main features of the EAW SM15 is its impressive sound quality. The speaker utilizes a high-efficiency 15-inch woofer and a precision-engineered 1.4-inch throat compression driver, allowing it to produce clear and powerful audio across a wide frequency range. With a frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz, the SM15 ensures that both low-end punch and high-frequency clarity are well-represented, catering to a diverse range of music genres and speech applications.

The SM15 is designed with a high-output capability, delivering up to 134 dB SPL (Sound Pressure Level). This makes it ideal for use in large venues where high sound levels and clarity are essential. The cabinet design is optimized for both horizontal and vertical use, allowing for versatile deployment options. The enclosure features a durable and lightweight birch plywood construction, enhancing portability while maintaining structural integrity.

In terms of technology, the EAW SM15 incorporates a proprietary waveguide design for its compression driver. This technology allows for superior control over dispersion, providing consistent coverage across the audience area. The speaker’s integrated rigging points also facilitate easy suspension and installation, making it suitable for a wide range of setups.

Additionally, the SM15 is equipped with passive crossover technology, which ensures optimal performance between the woofer and the compression driver. This integration helps to minimize distortion and improve overall sound quality. For those looking for advanced connectivity options, the SM15 features Speakon connectors, further enhancing its versatility in different audio configurations.

With its combination of exceptional sound quality, impressive power handling, and robust construction, the EAW SM15 is a standout choice for audio professionals seeking reliability in challenging conditions. Whether used for live concerts, public speaking events, or venue installations, the SM15 consistently delivers outstanding performance, making it a trusted tool in the industry.
