EAW SM12 - 600W 12-inch Passive 2-Way Stage Monitor with 90 x 60-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The EAW SM12 White is a high-output, 600W passive 2-way stage monitor designed to deliver exceptional sound clarity and coverage in demanding live performance environments. Drawing inspiration from EAW's renowned Microwedge acoustic design, the SM12 White combines innovative engineering with versatile deployment options to provide both professional-grade audio quality and flexible installation solutions. Whether used for on-stage monitoring or as a floor monitor, the SM12 White excels in providing clear, detailed audio, ensuring performers receive accurate sound reproduction during live performances, rehearsals, and events.

At the heart of the SM12 White is a 12-inch low-frequency transducer with a 2.5-inch voice coil, which ensures powerful and deep bass reproduction. The high-frequency section features a 1-inch exit compression driver with a 44 mm voice coil, coupled with EAW's patented Concentric Summation Array (CSA) coaxial horn. This CSA technology provides superior control, high-fidelity output, and even sound coverage, allowing the SM12 White to deliver clear, intelligible sound across its 90° horizontal and 60° vertical beamwidth. This beamwidth is rotatable, providing flexibility for various stage and installation configurations.

The SM12 White's performance capabilities are impressive, with a maximum SPL of 135 dB at a 12 dB crest factor and 129 dB at a 6 dB crest factor. The operating range spans from 60 Hz to 20 kHz, covering both sub-bass and high-frequency ranges. The subwoofer's axial sensitivity of 95 dB and calculated axial output of 123 dB average ensure that the monitor can deliver loud, clean sound without distortion, even at high output levels. The nominal impedance of 8 ohms ensures compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers, making the SM12 White versatile enough for various system configurations.

Designed for both convenience and efficiency, the SM12 White features an integrated kickstand that supports alternative deployment angles when used as a stage or floor monitor. This kickstand enables performers to easily adjust the monitor's positioning to suit different performance setups. The monitor can also be mounted using third-party pole mounts with the available mounting pattern, providing additional installation flexibility. For permanent installations, the SM12 White is equipped with two M6 threaded points for pole cup mounting and four M6 mounting points for wall mount brackets, offering a range of mounting options for optimal sound projection.

The SM12 White is designed to integrate seamlessly with the EAW UXA4403 and UXA4416 amplifiers, ensuring consistent tuning each time the system is used. The monitor's passive operation allows for maximum amplifier utilization, providing enhanced efficiency while delivering high-quality sound reproduction. The monitor's multiple input options, including four Neutrik NL4 connectors, improve cable management by utilizing fewer cable runs, making setup easier and more efficient. The inclusion of a metal wall mount pan/tilt bracket ensures that the monitor can be securely mounted in permanent installations with minimal hassle.

With its durable construction, sleek white finish, and professional-grade audio performance, the EAW SM12 White is an ideal choice for both touring and installed applications. Whether used in a theater, live music venue, or studio, the SM12 White provides superior sound clarity, reliable performance, and versatility for all professional audio needs.
