Price: $2,099 MSRP Contact: Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems | www.yamahaca.com EAW MW15 Stage Monitor EAW has unveiled its MicroWedge15 (MW15) stage monitor as the newest addition to the company’s MicroWedge Series of products. The 15-inch MicroWedge15 joins the 12-inch MicroWedge12 (MW12). The MW15 features a coaxial driver arrangement that pairs a 15-inch woofer with a 3-inch (diaphragm) HF compression driver on a horn, delivering 90degree horizontal dispersion. According to the company, this design path guarantees that all frequencies emanate from the exact same point, eliminating crossover region problems and time/phase irregularities and optimizing coherency. In addition, it offers switchable passive or active modes. Price: $2,822 list Contact: EAW | www.eaw.com d&b audiotechnik T-Series Speakers The design of d&b audiotechnik’s T-Series reportedly offers two different loudspeaker technologies in one package. It’s the company’s smallest line array and can transform into a standalone point-source system. The T10 cabinet (pictured at 18.5 x 7.8 x 11.8 inches) is a passive 2-way design that houses two 6.5-inch drivers, a 1.4-inch exit HF compression driver and can be used either as a compact component in a multiple cabinet line array or, by rotating the horn as a high-directivity point-source loudspeaker. The HF driver is fitted to a waveguide horn producing vertical line-source directivity with a 90-degree horizontal pattern that is maintained down to approximately 600 Hz. The T-SUB shares the same width and integrated rigging fittings as the T10 for deployment either flown at the top of a T10 array, in a separate column, or ground-stacked. According to the company, it is used to increase the low-frequency headroom and extend the bandwidth of a T10 column down to 47 Hz.
