Description

EAW QX500 Series

THREE-WAY TRAPEZOIDAL ENCLOSURE

The EAW QX500 Series delivers high output, broadband pattern control and exceptional fidelity for a wide range of permanently installed applications. Its high output level make it appropriate for long throws in arenas and stadiums or for high-energy applications like live music venues or dance clubs. The broadband pattern control of EAW QX500 loudspeakers let them tame hostile acoustical environments like cathedrals or highly reverberant public spaces. And their exceptional fidelity pleases the most critical listeners in concert halls and performing arts centers.

The EAW QX500 Series loads an ultra-efficient mid/high compression driver with constant directivity horn available in five horn patterns ranging from 45° x 45° to 90° x 60°. Four Phase Aligned™ 12in low frequency transducers arranged as vertical and horizontal pairs leverage beneficial interaction based on their spacing to extend pattern control well into the low frequency range.

Because the four low frequency transducers surround the coaxial mid/high compression driver symmetrically in both the horizontal and vertical planes, response across the full frequency spectrum appears to originate from a single point in space. This basic design facilitates an idealized summation of the three frequency sections, eliminating the anomalies associated with designs that physically offset the sections. This idealized coherence applies in both the horizontal and vertical planes throughout the coverage area

EAW QX500 Series

The QX Series delivers very high output point source clusters in a very size-efficient package. The series includes two ranges – QX500 and QX300 – each of which delivers a choice of coverage patterns from systems that use identical enclosures.

The series is particularly geared toward medium-to-large-sized spaces. Ideal in sports arenas the series is also designed for a wide range of other venues requiring high power and consistent coverage in a compact housing; venues including houses of worship, outdoor stadiums, performing arts spaces, theaters and clubs.

The QX’s broadband pattern control lets it tame hostile acoustical environments like cathedrals or highly reverberant public spaces. And its exceptional fidelity pleases the most critical listeners in concert halls and performing arts centers.
