VFM159i (PZA)
TWO-WAY PASSIVE TRAPEZOIDAL BOX
The VFR159i two-way full-range speaker system features a 15-inch, vented, direct-radiating low-frequency cone transducer and a 1.75-inch voice-coil, 1-inch exit high-frequency compression driver, loaded with a large, square, 90-degree rotatable speaker.
Horn with 60x or 60x45 coverage pattern built on the classic MK series horns. These speakers offer exceptional high-frequency dispersion, and their square shape allows users to "twist the housing around the speaker" to maintain directivity in a horizontal configuration. The standard horn can be field replaced with an optional 60x45 horn. This change incorporates a passive filter adjustment to maintain a consistent acoustic response and smooth beamwidth throughout the crossover region.
Because the VF Series full-range (VFR/VFM) systems use HF sections similar to those developed for the MK Series, EAW engineers could employ the same revolutionary internal “beamwidth-matching” passive crossover/filter networks that distinguish the MK Series from all other two-way systems. When powered by an EAW-specified amplifier or UX Series digital signal processor, the VFR159i can benefit from EAW Focusing, a technology that eliminates the inherent time-domain anomalies of any loudspeaker.
The black version of the VFR159i includes traditional portable features such as a pole-mount cup, a 4-terminal NL4 parallel connector, a barrier strip connector, an optional transformer, and handles that accept accessory covers for permanent installation. The white, installation-only versions omit the handles and pole-mount cup, but include an NL4 connector, a barrier strip connector, an optional transformer, and multiple mounting points. The new design leaves the cabinet sides completely smooth and attractive. Optional mounting hardware is available for pre-configured arrays with VFS subwoofer systems.
