About the EAW DC2 3-Way Passive Dual 15 Speaker
The EAW DC2 is a high-output, three-way passive loudspeaker system engineered for demanding full-range sound reinforcement in medium to large venues. This speaker employs a dual 15-inch low-frequency driver configuration coupled with a dedicated mid-range driver and a high-frequency compression driver, all housed in a robust trapezoidal enclosure. This sophisticated three-way design allows for exceptional power handling and clarity by dividing the audio spectrum into dedicated frequency bands, reducing intermodulation distortion and enabling each driver to operate within its optimal range. The result is a system capable of delivering powerful, articulate bass, clear and present vocals, and detailed high frequencies, making it suitable as a main PA speaker for live music, DJ applications, and high-SPL installed sound.
The cabinet's design prioritizes both acoustic performance and practical deployment. The carefully tuned bass reflex ports enhance low-frequency efficiency and extension, while the horn-loaded mid and high-frequency components provide controlled directivity to focus acoustic energy on the audience area. The enclosure is constructed from rugged, void-free plywood with a durable textured finish, built to withstand the rigors of touring. Integrated handles and multiple rigging points offer versatile placement options, including ground-stacking, pole-mounting on compatible subwoofers, or flying as part of an array using appropriate hardware. As a passive system, the DC2 requires external amplification and active crossover processing (or a compatible passive processor) to properly manage the complex three-way crossover network and protect the drivers.
For sound providers and installers needing a powerful, versatile, and rider-friendly loudspeaker, the EAW DC2 represents a professional workhorse solution. Its combination of high sensitivity, substantial power handling, and controlled dispersion allows it to deliver clean, impactful sound at high volumes over significant distances. When properly powered and processed, it forms a reliable cornerstone for a full-range sound system capable of handling a wide variety of program material with authority and fidelity.
