DESCRIPTION
A 2-way full range system (passive LF/HF crossover) in a
compact vented trapezoidal enclosure. It includes a 15-in
woofer and a 1-in exit/50mm voice coil compression driver
mounted on a 90 x 45 constant directivity horn. Designed
primarily for portable applications, the FR159z offers entry-
level access to high quality, truly professional loudspeaker
systems for musicians and DJ’s servicing small to medium
venues.
The system’s full range passive powering is accomplished via
EAW’s internal passive crossover/filter network. This com-
plex design goes beyond merely dividing the signal by per-
forming critical equalization functions.
APPLICATIONS
The FR159ze provides high output full range response in a
versatile, compact system. Effective for both permanent and
portable applications, it comes with handles, rubber foot-
pads, a pole mount cup and three (3) 3/8"-16 threaded
mounting/suspension points.
The FR159z is optimized for use with the FR250z dual 15-in
subwoofer system which also serves as a pole mount base.
In such a configuration, a standard 5-ft mounting pole posi-
tions the FR159z’s HF horn above the heads of audience
members for maximum coverage. Six Year Warranty.
