DESCRIPTION
A 3-way full range system in a dual vent, trapezoidal enclo-
sure. Includes a 15-in woofer (vented), a 7-in midrange cone
(separated vented subenclosure) and a 1-in exit compres-
sion driver on a Wave Guide Plate™. Powering mode is swit-
chable: passive (3-way crossover) or biamplified (passive MF/
HF crossover).
APPLICATIONS
The FL103 delivers extremely high output and studio fidelity
from a compact enclosure. True 3-way design dramatically
improves the quality of speech reproduction. Midrange vent-
ing smooths response at LF/MF crossover. Low “Q” provides
exceptionally natural reproduction in permanent or portable
applications demanding the highest quality sound. Compre-
hensive mounting/suspension hardware. Six year warranty.
Applications include:
Concert Halls Recital Halls
Theaters MultiMedia
Small HOW’s Live Music Club

ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS
The three-way full range loudspeaker systems shall incorpo-
rate a 15-in LF transducer, a 7-in cone MF transducer and a
1-in exit compression driver HF transducer.
The LF driver shall be mounted in a vented enclosure tuned
for optimum low frequency response. The MF driver shall be
mounted in a vented subenclosure. The HF driver shall be
loaded on an axis-symmetrical wave guide plate with a nomi-
nal coverage pattern of 100°(conical). An internal passive
filter network shall provide fourth order acoustical crossover
and system equalization.
System frequency response shall vary no more than ±3 dB
from 50 Hz to 18 kHz measured on axis. In passive mode,
the loudspeaker shall produce a Sound Pressure Level (SPL)
of 95 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1
Watt, and shall be capable of producing a peak output of
128 SPL on axis at 1 meter. The loudspeaker shall handle
500 Watts of amplifier power (AES Standard) and shall have
a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms.
In biamped mode, the passive mid/high section shall meet
all passive mode performance criteria. In biamped mode the
LF section shall produce a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 95
dB on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 Watt, and shall
be capable of producing a peak output of 130 SPL on axis at
1 meter. The LF section in biamped mode shall handle 800
Watts of amplifier power and shall have a nominal imped-
ance of 8 Ohms.
The loudspeaker enclosure shall be trapezoidal in shape. It
shall be constructed of 15mm thickness void-free cross-grain-
laminated Baltic birch plywood and shall employ extensive
internal bracing. It shall be finished in black catalyzed poly-
urethane. InputconnectorsshallbedualNeutrikNL4Speakon.
The system shall include a switch allowing in to be operated
in biamp or passive Powering mode. A total of six 3-position
flytracks (2 each on top, bottom and back) plus twelve 3/
8"-16 threaded mounting/suspension points (3 each top and
bottom, 2 each sides and back) shall be provided. The sys-
tem shall include a recessed cup to accept a standmount
pole. The front of the loudspeaker shall be covered with a
vinyl coated perforated steel grill.
The three-way full range loudspeaker shall be the EAW model
FL103.
