The Engineering Advantage
When you consider the fact that EAW
builds the KF550 it should come as no sur
prise that it is the qualitative standard of the
industry. After all, EAW's director of engi
neering, Kenton Forsythe, has spent the last
twenty years advancing the "state of the art"
in concert sound loudspeaker systems. His
contributions to the industry include:
1972
Forsythe B215, the world's first 2 x 15 inch bass
horn to incorporate a phase coupler and true
exponential flare (not to mention that it fit
through most doors).
1976
Forsythe SR1 09, the world's first cone mid range
horn utilizing a phasing plug and lead reinforced
fiberglass construction.
1977
Forsythe B212CT, using polyurethane filled
subassemblies to create the world's most
mathematically correct bass horn.
1978
EAW MR102, the first mid bass horn to use a
center displacement plug for flat power response.
1978
EAW/Carlo CS3, the world's first "One Box"
horn loaded flying system.
1979
EAW BH800, the first bent horn using
polyurethane reinforced wood construction.
1981
EAW JF500, the world's first all horn loaded
compact full range system.
1983
EAW KF550, the world standard "One Box" flying
system with flying strip hardware enabling easy
construction of complex arrays with only two fly
points per cabinet.
Since then we have continually refined
the KF550 to stay well ahead of our imitators.
The new KF550C version adds the H9040
constant coverage high frequency horn, full
frontal coverage vinyl coated perforated steel
grills and rear panel cable/connector chamber
as standard. This is in addition to the standard
features and performance that has made the
KF550 the first choice of sound companies in
the past.
Your crews will love the KF550C
because it loads in and flies so easily, and your
accountant will appreciate its transport
efficiency. But we're confident that you will
choose the KF550C because it sounds great.
