EAW Launches NT206L Loudspeaker Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) has launched its latest loudspeaker: NT206L, the first in the NT Series of products aimed at simplifying audio setup and operation for production events. NT206L is a compact, self-powered line array loudspeaker designed for production companies, system integrators, and venues seeking high performance, ease of deployment and operation, along with cost efficiency in a lightweight design. Unlike conventional compact line arrays, the company says, it delivers superior sound quality, premium materials, and an easily adjustable horizontal horn dispersion in an enclosure made of wood and metal. This new EAW Premier Class (P-Class) offering marks the first product conceived and designed entirely at EAW's new facility in Franklin, Massachusetts. Engineered for power and precision, NT206L features two 6.5" low-frequency drivers with 2" voice coils and a 1.75" high-frequency driver, brought to life by 1,500W of onboard power. A newly patented EAW waveguide leverages EAW's Focusing technology to provide exceptional high-frequency response, the company says. NT206L also debuts a new EAW Core Technology called Adjustable Horizontal Directivity (AHD). With AHD, users can quickly choose between four horizontal coverage profiles through simple hand-operated adjustments in the field. NT206L plays loud (139dB) and goes low (65-20kHz), all in a premium Baltic birch, steel, and aluminum enclosure. Weighing under 32lb, this active loudspeaker is lighter than most passive, plastic enclosures in its class. NT206L is designed for rapid and straightforward setup, featuring familiar analog inputs and controls, without the need for complex audio networking. It includes a comprehensive assortment of compatible accessories for transport, stacking, pole mounting, and rigging. "It's an inspiring time at EAW with the opening of our new headquarters in Franklin," says Geoff McKinnon, senior director of engineering. "Our expanded testing and development lab and new listening facilities are already yielding fantastic results, as evidenced by the release of NT206L. We couldn't be happier with the outcome."
