EAW RSX12M - 500W 12-inch Powered 2-Way Stage Monitor with 105 x 105-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The EAW RSX12M is a powerful, 500W 12-inch powered 2-way stage monitor designed to streamline setup and deliver outstanding performance in professional live sound applications. Built with EAW's signature acoustical design, this monitor features intelligent technologies, including onboard bi-amplified electronics (500W per channel) and advanced DSP with Focusing and DynO processing, ensuring pristine sound quality and accurate impulse response across all output levels. The RSX12M's 105° x 105° coverage pattern provides uniform sound dispersion, making it an ideal choice for stage monitoring where even coverage and clarity are paramount.

The RSX12M utilizes a 12-inch low-frequency (LF) transducer with a 2.5-inch voice coil in a vented enclosure, delivering powerful and accurate bass response. Its high-frequency (HF) driver features a 1-inch exit, 1.77-inch voice coil compression driver, horn-loaded for clear, precise highs. Together, these components ensure that the RSX12M delivers a wide frequency range from 55 Hz to 18 kHz, with excellent clarity and depth. The bi-amped configuration provides optimal power distribution, with dedicated amplification for both LF and HF drivers, ensuring maximum performance and headroom.

Designed with versatility in mind, the RSX12M includes a number of innovative features to enhance performance in demanding live sound environments. The built-in DSP processing includes EAW's proprietary Focusing and DynO algorithms, which optimize the system for accurate sound reproduction at high output levels, ensuring exceptional transparency even at peak volumes. The DSP also provides four pre-defined voicings, offering a variety of tonal starting points and maximizing feedback stability, essential for stage monitors used in live performances. With low latency of just 2.6 ms, the RSX12M provides excellent transparency for vocal monitoring applications, ensuring that performers receive the clearest and most natural feedback possible.

The RSX12M also integrates seamlessly into modern audio systems, with full Dante networking support for digital audio distribution and loop-thru capabilities for easy system expansion. The Dante connectivity allows for low-latency, high-quality audio over Ethernet, while the analog redundancy ensures a reliable backup connection for professional use. The system also offers easy signal routing via XLRF and XLRM connectors, with selectable input options for either analog or Dante sources. The user-friendly EAWmosaic app enables system prediction, control, and monitoring from anywhere in the venue, allowing for real-time optimization and adjustment of the system to fit the acoustic characteristics of the space.

The RSX12M's robust construction features an LCD screen on the amplifier panel for easy access to settings and an intuitive user interface. The speaker also includes a customizable logo LED, which can be adjusted for visual feedback during use. The monitor's compact size and lightweight design (36.0 lbs) make it highly portable and easy to position, while the rugged construction ensures long-term durability in demanding live sound environments. The monitor's dimensions are 13.1 x 19.7 x 19.2 inches, making it an ideal solution for portable PA systems and fixed installations where space is limited but high-quality sound is required.
