DESCRIPTION

The SB products are EAW's premium subwoofers designed for
the most demanding professional applications. A broad range of
capabilities and sizes provide the designer with selections that
can be specifically matched to their application. Top quality
drivers, engineered by EAW, provide the highest output and best
sonic performance possible for a given form factor. All SB
models are direct radiating, with optimally tuned, vented
enclosures. SB subwoofers are the choice where the best sonic
performance, highest reliability, and most robust physical
construction are required.

The SB330zF is a high output, mid-size subwoofer system. This
versatile, all-purpose subwoofer is designed for portable use
where the fatter-sounding output of an 18 inch driver is desired.
The SB330zF is engineered to complement the KF300z Series
in small format arrays, but it also works well with any full-range
loudspeaker. Its applications include: band/club PA, small
houses of worship, small auditoriums/theaters, A/V systems,
hotel ballrooms, cruise ships, small dance clubs, DJ monitoring,
and drum-fill monitoring.

The SB330zF is designed to be used with today's sophisticated
digital signal processing to optimize the LF response. EAW's MX
Series processors are recommended for the required crossover
and equalization.
