EAW VRS12 VRS18 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 VRS12 and VRS18 passive subwoofers. They are ideal for applications where maximum low-frequency impact is required. Both subwoofers provide high output, authoritative bass response for the lowest musical octaves.

The VRS12 is especially suited for installations where space is restricted. It is 15.5 inches/394 mm high when mounted on its side, and is very effective where subwoofers must be installed under a low stage.

The VRS12 and VRS18 enclosures are the same height as the VR21 and VR51 full-range loudspeakers. Because of this, attractive arrays can be created with a single VRS12 or VRS18 between two VR21s or two VR51s.

The rugged enclosure is available in both black and white finishes. It includes a number of threaded points for use with forged shoulder eyebolts. The powder-coated steel grille is foam-backed, providing physical protection for the drivers as well as hiding them from view.

•Companion subwoofer for all VR Series loudspeakers
