2. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new EAW Commercial loudspeaker. You now
own one of the finest professional audio products available – the result of exceptional
engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. Please read these instructions to get the
maximum performance from your new loudspeaker.
Each EAW Commercial loudspeaker is intended for professional use. The construction,
components, and hardware have been designed to provide robust, reliable performance for
its intended application. Please ensure that you fully understand its proper installation and
operation before use.
This manual describes the VR21 and VR51 full-range 2-way loudspeakers. These
provide exceptional fidelity for background and foreground music applications. Their speech
projection capabilities also make them highly effective as fill or delay loudspeakers in larger
audio systems. The high-output capabilities allow them to cover large seating areas with
ease.
The rotatable HF horn allows the enclosure to be mounted either vertically or horizontally
with the beamwidth oriented as required. The unique inclusion of an additional user-installed
horn permits quick and easy conversion for higher Q applications.
The loudspeakers include a number of threaded points for use with forged shoulder
eyebolts or a user-supplied OmniMount 120.0 Series wall-mount bracket.
The rugged birch enclosure is available in both black and white finishes. The powder
coated steel grille is foam-backed, providing physical protection for the drivers as well as
hiding them from view.
