EAW Introduces Redline Powered Loudspeaker SeriesEastern Acoustic Works announces the debut of Redline, a family of powered loudspeakers designed to deliver EAW sound quality and touring reliability with a feature set specifically designed for rental & staging and installation customers. The new series is showcased in Festhalle at the Prolight + Sound show in Frankfurt. The Redline family consists of a two powered, two-way loudspeakers -- the RL12 12" and RL15 15" -- along with the RL18S 18" powered subwoofer. Redline loudspeakers contain highly-customized precision transducers engineered to meet the demands of live sound. RL12 and RL15 offer perfectly consistent directivity via Beamwidth-Matched crossovers on 90° x 60° user-rotatable horns. Four-aperture ports provide massive bass support with no turbulence while maximizing transducer-cooling air flow. The self-powered loudspeakers feature 1,250W of fanless Class-D, Power Factor Corrected amplification. EAW Focusing sonic processing delivers the impulse response of a studio monitor with the impact demanded by live sound applications. DynO processing optimizes the power transfer from amplifiers to transducers to audience, maximizing headroom and sound quality at a high SPL. Three simple user-defined voicing options allow a variety of uses without need of a computer or external processor, the company says. The RL18S subwoofer is cardioid-ready via simple rear-panel controls, allowing end-users to achieve high levels of low-frequency control without need for complex processing or calculations. "EAW engineers focused on designing a product with a streamlined, robust feature set with no extraneous widgets that can break or get in the way of working professionals," says EAW president Jeff Rocha. "They utilized years of touring product experience -- the KF, JF, SB, and Adaptive Systems product families -- to create a product our customers will find incredibly useful and that will be a solid performer, day in and day out." Each Redline enclosure is built from 15mm hardwood with EAW RoadCoat treatment to ensure rugged durability. The enclosures also incorporate symmetrical monitor angles to form left-right wedge pairs and integral road glove-ready wood handles for portability. Strong, sculpted grills made of 18-gauge steel is designed to take a beating show after show. A magnetic, Redline stripe (removable for aesthetically sensitive events) identify the Redline family, the company says.
