EAW FR253T User manual

Ultra Compact Size - Occupying less than I cubic
foot of volume, the FR 102 is the ideal problem solver
for tight fitting applications such as under balcony fill,
foreground music and portable AV presentations.
•Exceptionall y Wide Horizontal Coverage
-The FR 102 maintains horizontal coverage of 110'
above 16k Hz so even the highest musical overtones
can be heard by every listener.
•High Output Capabilities - The combination of the
FR 1 02's 98 dB SPL sensitivity and 250 watts power
handling result in 122 dB SPL maximum output, enabling
the FR 102 to offer the equivalent output of 4 to 8 hifi
or compact monitor speaker systems.
•Ultra Durability - Despite its size, the FR 102 is
constructed with the same standards as EAW's
concert loudspeakers and, as such, provides a level of
reliability unmatched in the pro industry.
•Space Age Magnetic Damping Fluid in the high
frequency driver provides improved heat transfer
increasing the ' rmal power handling 3 to 6 dB, virtu
ally eliminating thermal failures. The fluid also
provides low distortion at high power levels and
eliminates cavity resonances.
Note: The FR102 is also available in a special version
designed for permanent installation applications as the
FRI02PI which includes tee-nuts and eye-bolts for hanging
and is supplied without handles or corners.
Design Leadership - The FR122 utilizes the ladest
developments in system design, including time'
compensation and bi-frequency vent alignment. These
advanced features enable the FR 122 to offer
performance unequaled by other systems anywhere near
its size. Listening to the FRI 22, you will be aware that
each and every aspect of the FRI 22 reflects EAW's
state-of-the-art engineering capabilities and dedication to
accuracy.
• Coherent Time Design - The FR 122 utilizes a time
offset baffle to ensure proper driver time/phase alignment
at crossover for seamless response through the crossover
region.
•Compact Durable Package - The FR122's small (2.4
ft3) size allows 2 units to fit conveniently in the back
of most commuter cars.
•Unique High Frequency Driver - The TWI 16 hard
dome high frequency driver is the key to the - FRI 22's
natural sound character. This 2 inch dome is similar to
the drivers found in the finest hi-fi systems, but its
massive magnetic structure produces the output required
for pro use. The result is 6 to 10 dB higher efficiency and
3 to 6 dB more power handling than hi-fi systems, while
retaining the smooth response and wide coverage.
Note: The FR122 is also available in a special version designed for
permanent installation applications as the FR122PI which includes
tee-nuts and eye-bolts for hanging and is supplied without handles or
corners.

•Very High Output From A Compact Box - As
a result of its exceptionally high sensitivity (101
dB SPL) and 400 watts power handling, the FRI
52T can produce 127 dB SPL peak output at one
meter from a box that measures only 4 cubic feet.
•Excellent Projection For Medium Throw
Applications - The FRI 52T's coverage pattern
has been optimized to project the vocal band,
making it an ideal choice for compact portable
PA applications.
•Complex Forsythe Designed Crossover
Network provides asymmetrical sloped filters
that electronically compensate amplitude, phase
and impedance for uncompromising sonic
accuracy.
•State -of -the-Art Transducers - The use of the
new EAW N482 titanium diaphragm
compression driver combined with the new high
power L15/864K 15-inch Kapton TM former bass
driver enable the FRI 52T to offer superior
efficiency and reliability.
•World Famous EAW Durability - The FRI 52T
is built using the same world famous construction
technology EAW uses in large concert touring
systems including cross -grain -laminated
hardwood, recessed cabinet hardware and vinyl
coated perforated steel grills.
Note: The FRI 52T is also available in a special version designed for permanent
installation applications as the FRI 52PI which includes tee-nuts and eye-bolts
for hanging and is supplied without handles or corners.
•Exceptionally Wide Bandwidth - The
FR 1 53's usable frequency range of 35 to
22k Hz enables it to accurately reproduce
the full musical spectrum from deep funda
mentals to delicate overtones. As a result
your audio presentation can realize the full
potential of modern synthesized music.
•State-Of-The-Art Drivers including.the TW1 16
hard dome high frequency driver, a truly unique
device incorporating a massive advanced magnetic
circuit design and composite material dome
diaphragm.
•Advanced Crossover Network - The Forsythe
designed crossover is the key to the FRI 53's
seamless frequency response. A complex third
order network, it utilizes asymmetrical electrical
slopes to provide equalization at the crossover
points resulting in maximal flat acoustic
performance with effective 24 dB per octave
acoustic slopes. The crossover also features
electronic damping for the system and driver
protection fuses.
•Unmatched Wide Coverage - The FRI 53's
greater than 130' horizontal coverage to 10,000 Hz
and 100' coverage at 16,000 Hz results in a very
natural open sound character over a broad listening
area.
Note: The FRI 53 is also available in a special version designed for permanent
installation applications as the FRI 53PI which includes tee-nuts and eye-bolts
for hanging and is supplied without handles or corners.

Exceptionally Wide Bandwidth - The
FR183's usable frequency range of 32 Hz to
22,000 Hz enables it to reproduce accurately
the full musical spectrum from thunderous
bass fundamentals to the most delicate
overtones. As a result, the FR183 is the ideal
choice for use with state-of-the art electronic
keyboards and drums in addition to portable
dance music playback systems.
•Very High Output From A Compact Box
-The FRI 83 can reproduce peaks of 128 dB
SPL at one meter and will provide 124 dB SPL
on a long term basis, substantially more than
any system of comparable size and bandwidth.
•Wide Horizontal Coverage of greater than
130 degrees, as a result of the FR183's unique
hard dome type high frequency driver, ensures
that every member of the audience will hear
full bandwidth reproduction.
•State -Of -The -Art Drivers, including the
new L 18/851K 1, 000 watt AES Standard
power handling driver, utilizing space age
materials like a Kapton TM voice coil former and
Kevlar TM spider for the ultimate in reliability
and low distortion.
•Exceptionally Wide Bandwidth - The
FR253's unparalleled wide frequency range
enables it to accurately reproduce modern
musical programs with remarkable realism and
impact at concert levels.
•Very High Output And Power Handling
with 104 dB SP - L sensitivity and over 900
watts power handling, the FR253 is ca
pable of output greater than 130 dB SPL.
This is not only one of the highest output
vented systems on the market, but it main
tains full power bandwidth to the 45 Hz re
gion.
•State -Of -The -Art Drivers, including
EAW's advanced MF1 70A 6.5-inch
mid-range driver, utilize a poly-laminated cone
to reduce distortion, while its small piston size
enables the FR253 to provide unequalled clarity
and definition in the vocal band.
•Applications -The FR253's unique high
definition sonic performance and output
capabilities make it ideal for use in high quality
portable music reproduction applications.
FR253's have proved themselves throughout
the world in both portable and installed dance
music systems, portable speech reinforcement,
club PA systems and on stage keyboard
monitors.
