Exceptionally Smooth Power Response

High Power Handling Capability 200w RMS
High Acoustic Output From Small Package
EAW's Concert Proven Construction  For

Durability and Reliability

Application

The, FR-300-R high performance loudspeaker system

is ideally suited for stage sound, high  level  playback,  nearfield
PA and other applications requiring accurate sound
reproduction at high output  levels  from  a compact  package.
The smooth extended response  and low distortion even
under demanding professional use  makes  this  system clearly
superior to comparably sized systems.

The complex internal  crossover, in conjunction  with

the high power drivers, makes the system perform with
consistant accuracy  under  the stress of  continuous
professional use. Field failures  are virtually eliminated by  this
combination of quality components and advanced design.
The enclosure is also designed to withstand the abuse o f
portable professional use, and is  of  the  same  EAW  quality
that  has made us a leading supplier of  systems for the
concert sound industry.

Description

The FR-300-R is a two-way system designed to

eliminate the weak midband compromises  that  typically
plague simple  systems  of  this type. The use of  an especially
massive compression driver and equalized third order
crossover allow for smooth transition from bass to high
frequency driver. This smooth mid-band is achieved without
compromise of bandwidth, which is exceptional for a  system
of this size (45 Hz to 17,000  Hz).  Construction  is done  with
careful  attention to detail; from the cross-grain-laminated
birch cabinet material to the vinyl-coated perforated steel,
the finest available components  and  most sophisticated
techniques are maintained. The resulting system  will  audibly
out-perform competitive  units while providing better
durability than any other system available.

Low Frequency Performance

Bass is provided by  a 380mm  (15") LF-383R driver

mounted in an optimally vented enclosure for  extended
response and minimum response ripple. The

cast frame driver has a massive  magnet for low distortion
and high  conversion efficiency. The cone and suspension is
of the latest generation  low  distortion  type  which  minimises
break-up modes under  high power and eliminates the upper
bass region cone  resonances  that plague simpler suspension
designs.

High Frequency Horn/Driver

The FR-300-R makes use of the EAW/RCF CD2552

compression driver mounted on our HF-890A die-cast
flush front radial horn. This combination when operated
through the internal equalized  network,  permits  a reasonably
low  crossover  point (1200 Hz), while maintaining power
handling and providing extended  high  frequency response.
This is achieved by using a large 52 mm  (2")  voice coil and a
strong composite diaphragm  to  provide  high power  handling
(typically 3dB more  than comparable compression driver
based systems and up to 10 dB more than tweeter based
systems). The driver's magnetic circuit  is large and produces
17,500 gauss. Normally this combination
