DESCRIPTION
A 3-way full range system in a trapezoidal enclosure.
Includes a 15-in woofer, a horn-loaded 8-in midrange cone
and a 1.4-in exit/1.75-in voice coil compression driver on a
60° x 45° constant directivity horn. The powering mode is
switchable: passive (3-way crossover) or bi-amplified (pas-
sive low/mid crossover).
APPLICATIONS
The LA460 applies Virtual Array Technology to small venue
performance in both portable applications and permanent
installations. With EAW’s mathematically correct midrange
flare, pattern control is maximized throughout the vocal
region providing exceptional speech intelligibility in a
compact enclosure. Six year warranty.
Applications include:
Band PA Dance Clubs Portable A/V
