DESCRIPTION
The SB products are EAW's premium subwoofers designed for
the most demanding professional applications. A broad range of
capabilities and sizes provide the designer with selections that
can be specifically matched to their application. Top quality
drivers, engineered by EAW, provide the highest output and best
sonic performance possible for a given form factor. All SB
models are direct radiating, with optimally tuned, vented
enclosures. SB subwoofers are the choice where the best sonic
performance, highest reliability, and most robust physical
construction are required.
The legendary SB1000zR is a high output, large-format
subwoofer system with proven performance in complementing
high efficiency, full-range loudspeakers. It is designed for
portable use where the fatter-sounding output of dual 18 inch
drivers is desired. The SB1000zR's driver mounting maximizes
cone area and minimizes frontal area, providing the acoustical
performance and physical configuration well suited for creating
large subwoofer arrays. Its applications include: concert touring,
arenas, band/club PA, large houses of worship, large
auditoriums/theaters, stage/performer monitoring, drum fill
monitoring, and large dance clubs.
The SB1000zR is designed to be used with today's sophisticated
digital signal processing to optimize the LF response. EAW's MX
Series processors are recommended for the required crossover
and equalization.
