DESCRiPtiON
The new VFR “i” revision brings the VF concept more fully into the EAW
product line. VFR “i” Series black versions use handles from the KF and JF
Series. An installation only white version comes without handles or a pole
mount cup.
The VFR129i two-way, full range loudspeaker system includes a direct-
radiating, vented, 12-in LF cone transducer and a 1-in exit / 1.75-in voice
coil HF compression driver loaded with a large, square, user-rotatable 90x60
or 60x45 coverage pattern horn built on the classic MK Series horns. These
horns deliver exceptional high frequency dispersion, and their square shape
lets users “rotate the enclosure around the horn” to maintain directivity in
a horizontal configuration. The standard horn is field replaceable with an
optional 60x45 horn. This change incorporates a passive filter adjustment to
maintain consistent acoustic response and smooth beamwidth throughout
the crossover region.
Because VF Series full range systems (VFR/VFM) use HF sections similar to
those developed for the MK Series, EAW engineers could employ the same
revolutionary “beamwidth-matching” internal passive crossover/filter net-
works that set the MK Series apart from all other two-way systems. If pow-
ered by an EAW-specified amplifier or via a UX Series digital signal proces-
sor, the VFR129i can enjoy the benefits of EAW Focusing, a technology that
eliminates the anomalies inherent in the time domain of any loudspeaker.
The VFR129i black version includes traditional portable features such as a
pole-mount cup, parallel NL4 4-terminal connector, barrier strip connector,
an optional transformer and handles that accept accessory covers for per-
manent installation. The white, installation-only versions omit handles and
the pole-mount cup but include NL4 connector, barrier strip connector, an
optional transformer, and multiple mounting points. The new design leaves
the enclosure sides completely smooth and attractive. Optional rigging
hardware is available for preconfigured arrays with VFS sub bass systems.
