DESCRiPtiON

The new VFR “i” revision brings the VF concept more fully into the 

EAW  product  line.  VFR “i”  Series  black  versions  provide  a  handle 

designed  into  the  rear  of  the  cabinet.  An  installation  only  white 

version comes without handles or a pole mount cup.

The VFR89i two-way, full range loudspeaker system includes a direct-

radiating, vented, 8-in LF cone transducer and a 1-in exit / 1.25-in 

voice coil HF compression driver loaded with a large, square, user-

rotatable 90x50 coverage pattern horn built on the classic MK Series 

horns. These horns deliver exceptional high frequency dispersion, 

and their square shape lets users “rotate the enclosure around the 

horn” to maintain directivity in a horizontal configuration. 

Because  VF  Series  full  range  systems  (VFR/VFM)  use  HF  sections 

similar to those developed for the MK Series, EAW engineers could 

employ  the  same  revolutionary  “beamwidth-matching”  internal 

passive crossover/filter networks that set the MK Series apart from 

all other two-way systems. If powered by an EAW-specified amplifier 

or via a UX Series digital signal processor, the VFR89i can enjoy 

the  benefits  of  EAW  Focusing,  a  technology  that  eliminates  the 

anomalies inherent in the time domain of any loudspeaker.

The VFR89i black version includes traditional portable features such 

as  a  pole-mount  cup,  parallel  NL4  4-terminal  connector,  barrier 

strip connector, an optional transformer and handles that accept 

accessory covers for permanent installation. The white, installation-

only  versions  omit  handles  and  the  pole-mount  cup  but  include 

NL4 connector, barrier strip connector, an optional transformer, and 

multiple mounting points. The new design leaves the enclosure 

sides completely smooth and attractive.

Six year warranty.
