VFR159i BLACK (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 60x or 60x45 coverage pattern horn built on the classic MK Series horns. These horns offer exceptional high-frequency dispersion, and their square shape allows users to "turn the box around the horn" to maintain directivity in a horizontal configuration. The standard horn can be field-replaced with an optional 60x45 horn. This change incorporates passive filter tuning to maintain consistent acoustic response and smooth beamwidth throughout the crossover region.
The new revision of the VFR “i” more fully incorporates the VF concept into the EAW product line. The black versions of the VFR “i” series offer side handles and a handle designed into the back of the cabinet. A white installation-only version comes without handles or a pole-mount cup.
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.
