EAW FR-300-R Specifications
Exceptionally Smooth Power Response
High Power Handling Capability 200w RMS
High Acoustic Output From Small Package
EAW's Concert Proven Construction For
Durability and Reliability
Application
The, FR-300-R high performance loudspeaker system
is ideally suited for stage sound, high level playback, nearfield
PA and other applications requiring accurate sound
reproduction at high output levels from a compact package.
The smooth extended response and low distortion even
under demanding professional use makes this system clearly
superior to comparably sized systems.
The complex internal crossover, in conjunctionwith
the high power drivers, makes the system perform with
consistant accuracy under the stress of continuous
professional use. Field failures are virtually eliminated by this
combination of quality components and advanced design.
The enclosure is also designed to withstand the abuse o f
portable professional use, and is of the same EAW quality
that has made us a leading supplier of systems for the
concert sound industry.
Description
The FR-300-R is a two-way system designed to
eliminate the weak midband compromises that typically
plague simple systems of this type. The use of an especially
massive compression driver and equalized third order
crossover allow for smooth transition from bass to high
frequency driver. This smooth mid-band is achieved without
compromise of bandwidth, which is exceptional for a system
of this size (45 Hz to 17,000 Hz). Construction is done with
careful attention to detail; from the cross-grain-laminated
birch cabinet material to the vinyl-coated perforated steel,
the finest available components and most sophisticated
techniques are maintained. The resulting system will audibly
out-perform competitive units while providing better
durability than any other system available.
Low Frequency Performance
Bass is provided by a 380mm (15") LF-383R driver
mounted in an optimally vented enclosure for extended
response and minimum response ripple. The
cast frame driver has a massive magnet for low distortion
and high conversion efficiency. The cone and suspension is
of the latest generation low distortion type which minimises
break-up modes under high power and eliminates the upper
bass region cone resonances that plague simpler suspension
designs.
High Frequency Horn/Driver
The FR-300-R makes use of the EAW/RCF CD2552
compression driver mounted on our HF-890A die-cast
flush front radial horn. This combination when operated
through the internal equalized network, permits a reasonably
low crossover point (1200 Hz), while maintaining power
handling and providing extendedhigh frequency response.
This is achieved by using a large 52 mm (2") voice coil and a
strong composite diaphragm to provide high power handling
(typically 3dB more than comparable compression driver
based systems and up to 10 dB more than tweeter based
systems). The driver's magnetic circuit is large and produces
17,500 gauss. Normally this combination
