The SM222 high output slant stage monitor system is

designed to enable performers to hear clear audio foldback

regardless of the ambient sound levels on stage. The SM222

utilizes the identical configuration of the legendary EAW

SM600 stage monitor with two 12 inch bass drivers and a

large format compression driver. The use of two 12 inch low

frequency drivers permits more sound pressure level than

any competitive design based on a 15 inch woofer, and it

offers better response linearity in the lower mid-band.

The SM222 is the result of a long term engineering project

conducted by EAWs Vice President of Engineering Kenton

Forsythe in conjunction with Carlo Sound's Rich Carpenter

and John Logan. The project's goal was to offer the output and

sound quality of the SM600 in a package with significantly less

volume and half the stage height for improved sight lines. The

SM222 exceeds the original design goals by using a newly

developed Forsythe designed high frequency horn that fits

tightly in-between the two woofers.

Traditional EAW quality construction enables the SM222

to offer unmatched road durability. Standard features include

heavy gauge perforated steel grill, recessed handles and EP

Series input connectors. Options include internal passive

crossover and travel covers. During the third quarter of

1986 EAW will be offering a RCF two-inch exit compression

driver for use in the SM222 and an optional closely

coupled electronic controller.
