EAW VFR89i Passive 2-Way Full-Range Loudspeaker

EAW VFR89i Passive 2-Way Full-Range Loudspeaker

The new VFR “i” revision bringsthe VF concept more fully into the EAW product line. VFR “i” Series blackversions provide a handle designed into the rear of the cabinet. Aninstallation only white version comes without handles or a pole mount cup.

The VFR89i two-way, full rangeloudspeaker system includes a direct radiating, vented, 8-in LF cone transducerand a 1-in exit / 1.25-in voice coil HF compression driver loaded with a large,square, user-rotatable 90×50 coverage pattern horn built on the classic MKSeries horns. These horns deliver exceptional high frequency dispersion,andtheir square shape lets users “rotate the enclosure around the horn” tomaintain directivity in a horizontal configuration.

Because VF Series full rangesystems (VFR/VFM) use HF sections similar to those developed for the MK Series,EAW engineers could employ the same revolutionary “beamwidth-matching” internalpassive crossover/filter networks that set the MK Series apart from all othertwo-way systems. If powered by an EAW-specified amplifier or via a UX Seriesdigital signal processor, the VFR89i can enjoy the benefits of EAW Focusing, atechnology that eliminates the anomalies inherent in the time domain of anyloudspeaker.

The VFR89i black version includestraditional portable features such as a pole-mount cup, parallel NL4 4-terminalconnector, barrier strip connector and an optional transformer. The white,installation only versions omit handles and the pole-mount cup but include NL4connector, barrier strip connector, an optional transformer, and multiplemounting points. The new design leaves the enclosure sides completely smoothand attractive.
