2. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new EAW Commercial loudspeaker. You now 

own one of the finest professional audio products available – the result of exceptional 

engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. Please read these instructions to get the 

maximum performance from your new loudspeaker.

Each EAW Commercial loudspeaker is intended for professional use. The construction, 

components, and hardware have been designed to provide robust, reliable performance for 

its intended application. Please ensure that you fully understand its proper installation and 

operation before use.

This manual describes the VRM12 passive two-way stage monitor/PA. The VRM12 is 

engineered for superior performance as a floor monitor, and as a stand-mounted portable 

PA speaker. The low-profile, dual-angle enclosure houses a 12-inch coaxial driver that cuts 

through stage volume with high output capability. Coherent point-source reproduction helps 

deliver crisp speech for meetings and presentations, while the 12-inch LF driver delivers full-

range musical sound.

The cross-ply laminated birch enclosure includes loop-thru Neutrik NL4 Speakon jacks on 

either side to minimize cable runs and clutter on stage. Rubber feet stabilize the enclosure 

on the floor. A pole-mount cup and integral handle are included for stand-mounting and 

transport.

The VRM12 is available in either black or white finish. A foam-backed powder-coated 

steel grill protects the driver. 

Features:

•  Full-range, 2-way loudspeaker
•  Coaxial 12-inch woofer with 

1-inch exit compression driver

•  Protection circuit for 

compression driver

•  Passive crossover for 

economical, single-amplifier 

operation

•  Enclosure has 30 degree and 

45 degree wedge angles

•  Pole-mount cup allows pole 

mounting and use as a portable 

PA

•  Spring-loaded handle for ease of 

handling

•  Two Speakon jacks with input 

and through connections

•  Five-year warranty

Applications include:

•  TV studios
•  Theaters
•  Portable PA
•  Classrooms
•  Houses of Worship
