Functions and Operations RS 121, 123, 151, 153 Rear Input Panel Diagram 1. Level (Gain) Control Adjusts the level of the INPUT signal. Turning counterclockwise will reduce the output level and turning clockwise will raise the overall output level of the speaker. 2. - Page 10 The limit indicator will turn red when the output has reached its maximum level. If the LED blinks occasionally, EAW DynO™ will optimize the output and continue to provide clear output at its maximum volume. If the LED blinks frequently or is lit continuously, reduce the level control (1) to prevent output distortion.

Page 15: Ac Mains Connection
The TRS wiring convention is as follows: Pin 1: Shield Pin 2: +/Hot Pin 3: -/Cold AC Mains Connection Connect the supplied AC mains cord to the IEC connector (RS 121/151 Models) or Neutrik® powerCON® socket (RS 123/153 Models) on the rear of the loudspeaker. Connect the other end to an AC mains supply receptacle, nominally 115V 60Hz or 230V 50 Hz as labeled on the loudspeaker. -
Page 16: Operating Indicators
CAUTION: Electronic limiters cannot provide absolute protection against driver failure. Thus, if limiting is occurring, it is a warning that excessive signal levels are being approached. EAW is not responsible for damaged or broken speaker components due to user error. -
Page 17: Adjusting The Output Level
Adjusting the Output Level -∞ Starting with the input level attenuator at (all the way to the left), turn the input attenuator up until the desired volume is reached, but below the point where the Limiter light illuminates. Onboard Processing & Voicing Voicing Options RS features two distinct voicings on two-way to accommodate select applications. -
Page 18: Eaw Dsp Innovations
EAW DSP Innovations DynO™ DynO™ is a revolutionary processing technique that allows EAW Engineers to maximize output from a given amplifier – transducer combination. As opposed to conventional limiting which simply views amplifier output and driver power handling in aggregate (i.e. a driver can handle 100 watts or an amplifier can produce 500 watts), the DynO process involves much more detail and complexity. -
Page 19: Rs Application Configurations
RS Application Configurations Rotating the horn RS products feature a user-rotatable horn, providing exceptional application flexibility and the ability to maintain the 90 x 60 coverage pattern when the speaker is mounted horizontally. To rotate the horn, please follow the steps outlined below. 1. -

orientation of the horn throat opening. When the opening is in the vertical orientation, the horn is in the default 90 x 60 configuration. If the opening is horizontal, the horn is in the 60 horizontal x 90 vertical orientation. Application Notes Flying RS from threaded mounting points RS products attachment points are designed to accept M10 hardware. -
Page 21: Rigging
Rigging RS series products are intended to be suspended via integral rigging points, or ground-stacked. RS subwoofers are intended to be ground-stacked only. It is the user’s responsibility to determine the viability and safety for alternate methods and implement them accordingly. NOTE: At a minimum, any suspended RS loudspeaker must be flown from the two top M10 rigging points. -
