The SM222 high output slant stage monitor system is
designed to enable performers to hear clear audio foldback
regardless of the ambient sound levels on stage. The SM222
utilizes the identical configuration of the legendary EAW
SM600 stage monitor with two 12 inch bass drivers and a
large format compression driver. The use of two 12 inch low
frequency drivers permits more sound pressure level than
any competitive design based on a 15 inch woofer, and it
offers better response linearity in the lower mid-band.
The SM222 is the result of a long term engineering project
conducted by EAWs Vice President of Engineering Kenton
Forsythe in conjunction with Carlo Sound's Rich Carpenter
and John Logan. The project's goal was to offer the output and
sound quality of the SM600 in a package with significantly less
volume and half the stage height for improved sight lines. The
SM222 exceeds the original design goals by using a newly
developed Forsythe designed high frequency horn that fits
tightly in-between the two woofers.
Traditional EAW quality construction enables the SM222
to offer unmatched road durability. Standard features include
heavy gauge perforated steel grill, recessed handles and EP
Series input connectors. Options include internal passive
crossover and travel covers. During the third quarter of
1986 EAW will be offering a RCF two-inch exit compression
driver for use in the SM222 and an optional closely
coupled electronic controller.
