Congratulations on the purchase of your new EAW loudspeaker. You now own one of
the finest professional audio products available - the result of exceptional engineering
and meticulous craftsmanship.
This manual is intended for use with JFL210 and JFL118 loudspeakers. As such, it
contains information that is specific to these loudspeakers. This includes: array design,
user adjustments, amplifier power ratings, input connections, rigging design, and service
and maintenance information. An optional FB121 Fly Bar may be used to suspend
JFL210 and JFL118 loudspeakers and ground
stack JFL210 loudspeakers. The
accompanying FB121 Rigging & Ground Stack Instructions should be consulted for
information specific to its use. Finally, information common to all types of EAW
loudspeakers may be found in the accompanying EAW Loudspeaker Owner’s Manual.
This includes: general safety precautions, unpacking/return instructions, rigging
definitions, amplifier selection best practices, signal processing , inspection and

the maximum performance from your new loudspeaker. Where there are conflicts or
overlaps, the information in this manual supersedes the information in any
accompanying manual.
