EAW VR51, VR21 instruction manual Introduction

2. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new EAW Commercial loudspeaker. You now own one of the finest professional audio products available – the result of exceptional engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. Please read these instructions to get the maximum performance from your new loudspeaker.

Each EAW Commercial loudspeaker is intended for professional use. The construction, components, and hardware have been designed to provide robust, reliable performance for its intended application. Please ensure that you fully understand its proper installation and operation before use.

This manual describes the VR21 and VR51 full-range 2-way loudspeakers. These provide exceptional fidelity for background and foreground music applications. Their speech projection capabilities also make them highly effective as fill or delay loudspeakers in larger audio systems. The high-output capabilities allow them to cover large seating areas with ease.

The rotatable HF horn allows the enclosure to be mounted either vertically or horizontally with the beamwidth oriented as required. The unique inclusion of an additional user-installed horn permits quick and easy conversion for higher Q applications.

The loudspeakers include a number of threaded points for use with forged shoulder eyebolts or a user-supplied OmniMount 120.0 Series wall-mount bracket.

The rugged birch enclosure is available in both black and white finishes. The powder coated steel grille is foam-backed, providing physical protection for the drivers as well as hiding them from view.
