EAW RS151 - 1500W 15-inch Powered 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW RS151 is a powerful, 1500W 15-inch powered 2-way portable loudspeaker that delivers EAW's signature performance in a lightweight and durable wooden enclosure. Designed for high-performance audio in a portable format, the RS151 is ideal for professional sound applications where reliability, clarity, and powerful output are required. The loudspeaker is engineered around high-quality HF (high-frequency) and LF (low-frequency) transducers, ensuring exceptional acoustic performance. This combination, paired with the speaker's on-board bi-amplified electronics, delivers unmatched clarity and tonal accuracy across the entire frequency spectrum. Whether used for portable PA systems, live sound reinforcement, or events, the RS151 excels in demanding audio environments.

Equipped with 1500W of Class-D amplification, the RS151 provides ample power to drive the transducers and ensure optimal sound at high drive levels. The speaker features a large-format, constant directivity horn, a design first proven in EAW's legendary MK Series. This horn design provides enhanced pattern control, ensuring even sound dispersion across the audience area, regardless of venue size. The horn is user-rotatable, offering flexibility in setup, and ensuring that the speaker can be easily adapted to different performance environments. The EAW Focusing DSP technology optimizes the sound performance of the speaker, ensuring clarity and accuracy while preventing distortion, even at high volumes. Additionally, EAW's DynO dynamic optimization processing maintains sound integrity at maximum output levels, preserving tonal balance and clarity even under heavy loads.

The RS151 features a carefully tuned port design with asymmetric geometry that helps control reflections and resonance, which is crucial for maintaining clean and deep bass response. The speaker's frequency range spans from 47 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring full-range sound reproduction. The nominal beamwidth is 90° horizontal and 60° vertical, offering constant directivity to ensure even coverage across large spaces. The speaker's performance is further enhanced by the EAW Resolution software platform, a powerful tool for predicting the performance of one or multiple RS151 speakers within a specific venue or space. This simulation software allows audio engineers to fine-tune the system to match the acoustics of any performance environment.

The RS151 features both Main/Monitor and Mic/Line modes for versatile usage, making it suitable for both high-powered live sound reinforcement and smaller, more intimate settings where monitoring is necessary. The crossover is set at 800 Hz, dividing the frequency range between the low and high drivers to optimize each driver's performance. The RS151 is equipped with electronically balanced XLR/TRS inputs and outputs, ensuring easy integration into existing sound systems. It operates on both 100-120V and 200-240V power inputs, with minimal current draw, making it efficient to run. At idle, the RS151 consumes just 50W, while at full power, it consumes up to 600W, making it energy-efficient even during demanding use.

Constructed from 15mm plywood, the RS151 is built to withstand the rigors of road use and performance environments. It features M10 threaded suspension points for easy mounting in permanent installations, and a robust grille offers protection for the internal components while maintaining excellent sound quality. Weighing just 42 lbs and with compact dimensions of 25.9 x 14.5 x 15 inches, the RS151 is a highly portable solution for professionals who need powerful sound reinforcement without the burden of heavy equipment. Its shipping weight is 52 lbs, making it easy to transport and handle during setups and teardowns.
