according to the WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC) 

and your national law. This product should be 

handed over to an authorized collection site 

for recycling waste electrical and electronic 

equipment (WEEE). Improper handling of this 

type of waste could have a possible negative 

impact on the environment and human health 

due to potentially hazardous substances that 

are generally associated with WEEE.

AC6™ System Overview 

Adaptive Systems™ are one of the most 

technologically advanced loudspeakers ever 

created, including the latest advances in 

transducer, DSP, mechanical, amplification, 

and software technology. Through the close 

integration of these disciplines, the user is free 

to simply define the coverage, consistency 

and sound pressure level (SPL) required 

of the system. With a minimal amount of 

user-provided information, the AC6 system 

will use Adaptive Performance to provide 

optimal sound reinforcement for that specific 

requirement. 

The AC6 system workflow offers a range of 

entry points and allows the user to assess 

options for deploying the system. New users 

may wish to create a model of the venue and 

ask the Anna system to recommend array 

configurations based on available inventory. 

Experienced users may design their own arrays 

as models and ask the AC6 system to adapt 

performance to the venue. Masterful users 

may simply deploy arrays and then ask the 

system to adapt performance. 

On-site, users can readily and quickly 

manipulate system performance using digital 

signal processing (DSP) only. 

Features and Benefits

The feature set designed into the AC6 offers 

users a range of advantages in system 

application and maintenance. 

Internal Processing & Amplification 

As is true of all professional loudspeaker 

systems, the performance of the AC6 depends 

on amplifiers delivering an adequate supply 

of clean power. To maximize performance, 

each module includes powerful, built-in, high-

efficiency amplifiers that are exactly matched 

to their transducers. AC6 modules include 

36 independent channels of amplification 

and DSP in order to provide independent 

control of each transducer. Even though 

extremely lightweight compared to other 

products in the same output category, these 

amplifiers are designed to meet and exceed 

the exceptionally high output requirements of 

professional applications.

CAUTION

: Changes or modifications not expressly approved 

by EAW® North America INC could void the user's authority 

to operate the equipment.
