Design Leadership
The FR122 is the direct descendant of EAW's FRIOO, the industry's original
compact system with a dome driver. While the rest of the industry has been
busy playing catch -up, EAW again leads the way with our third generation
design. The FRI 22 incorporates the latest design developments, including time
compensation, magnetic damping fluid and bi-frequency vent design. These
advanced features enable the FRI 22 to offer performance simply unequaled by
any other system near its size. Listening to the FR122, you will be aware that
each and every aspect of the FR122 reflects EAW's advanced engineering
capabilities and dedication to accuracy. This master craftmanship is inherent in
EAW's philosophy and is what makes our products unique in comparison to
the mass produced products offered as competition.
Coherent Time Design
The FRI 22 utilizes a -time offset baffle designed to ensure proper driver time
alignment at crossover for maximal smooth crossover response.
Compact Durable
The FR I22's small (1.6 cubic foot) size enables two units to fit in the back seat

of most commuter cars. The small size also makes installation quick and easy.
Unique RCF Hard Dome
RCF's TW 116 hard dome high frequency driver is the key to the FRI 22's
High Frequency Driver
exceptionally natural sound character. This 52 mm (2 in) dome design is
similar to the drivers found in the finest hi -fi systems, but its massive magnetic
structure produces output levels required for professional use. The result is 6
to 10 dB higher efficiency and 3 to 6 dB more power handling than home hi-fi
systems, but the TWI 16 retains the smooth response, low distortion and wide
coverage of the dome design. No other pro system with a horn tweeter can
match the FRI 22's natural open sound and excellent imaging.
Space Age Magnetic
To further enhance the performance of the TW 116, the FRI 22 makes use of
Damping Fluid
"space age" magnetic damping fluid in the voice coil gap. Conventional drivers
have air in the voice coil gap which acts to thermally insulate the voice coil from
the magnetic assembly. By filling the gap with magnetic fluid, heat build up in
the voice coil is drawn into the magnet assembly, where it can be easily
dissipated over the large surface area of the entire driver. The result is a 3 to 6
dB, increase in long term power handling, virtually eliminating thermal failures.
