EAW MQ1394 Technical Specifications

DESCRIPTION
• Mid/High VA4 loudspeaker system
• Optimized for permanent installation only
• Horn-loaded 10-in cones with VA4 phase plug
• 2-in exit/75mm voice coil compression driver on
constant directivity horn
The new MQ Series represents the next generation of perma-
nent installation loudspeaker systems. Using VA4 Technol-
ogy developed for the new KF700 Series, the MQ range re-
places the MH and BV ranges of Virtual Array systems. The
Series comprises matched sets of mid/high and low frequency
enclosures that enjoy complementary dimensions and
trapeziod angles to facilitate the creation of optimized-
coverage arrays.
The MQ1394 uses a horn-loaded 10-in midrange cone with a
specially designed geometry that produces a time-coherent
wavefront through the upper portion of the midrange that is
critical to vocal articulation. A phase plug with radial slots
then serves to reduce the mechanical reactance of the sub-
system without affecting the directivity of the source, al-
lowing for flawless arraying of multiple MQ mid/high
modules.
A high power 2-in exit/75mm voice coil high frequency com-
pression driver is mounted on a constant directivity horn for
consistent, accurate dispersal of HF information. The MQ1394
provides a nominal coverage pattern of 90 (h) x 40 (v).
APPLICATION
The MQ1394 mid/high module works with the MQ1312 triple
12-in low frequency module to create arrays for use in a
wide variety of permanently installed applications.
The most common array configuration is 2x MQ1394's sepa-
rated by a single MQ1312. Unlike most other 90 horizontal
coverage array modules, the MQ1394 is designed to tight
pack with the MQ1312 to achieve optimal coverage. This
provides an excellent center channel array for large, fan-
shaped venues that use an L/C/R configuration.
All MQ Series enclosures feature a comprehensive system of
3/8"-16 threaded mounting points for maximum flexibility
when suspending arrays overhead.
Applications include:
