The EAW JF80zPL-WP-16-BK is a professional two-way full-range passive loudspeaker engineered for high-output, high-fidelity applications in permanent installations. As part of the versatile JF Series, this model is distinguished by its integrated "WP-16" rigging system, a through-cabinet flyware point that allows for secure and precise vertical arraying or flying of multiple cabinets. The speaker is designed to deliver articulate and powerful sound for demanding venues such as performing arts centers, large houses of worship, and conference halls. It features a 1.75-inch titanium compression driver coupled to a proprietary horn and an 8-inch long-excursion woofer, working in concert to produce a wide frequency response with exceptional clarity and dynamic range, capable of handling high power levels for clear reinforcement of both music and speech.

The enclosure is acoustically optimized, constructed from void-free Baltic birch plywood and finished in a durable textured black paint suitable for discreet installation. The key feature is the integrated WP-16 rigging hardware, which includes a forged steel eye nut and internal bracing, enabling safe overhead suspension and precise vertical splay adjustment when arrayed with other compatible JF Series cabinets. The speaker's asymmetrical horn provides a defined 100-degree horizontal by 50-degree vertical coverage pattern that can be rotated, allowing system designers to effectively target sound to the audience area and minimize reflections off architectural surfaces, thereby improving intelligibility and tonal consistency throughout the space.

Designed for integration into a professionally tuned sound system, the JF80zPL-WP-16-BK requires an external amplifier and system processor. Its performance is optimized when used with EAW's recommended amplification and the preset DSP tunings available through the EAW Resolution software. These tunings provide corrective equalization, phase alignment, and system protection tailored to the speaker's design, ensuring it performs as intended within the specific acoustics of the installation. With its combination of robust construction, integrated professional rigging, and sonically precise performance, this loudspeaker provides a reliable and scalable solution for complex installed sound applications where both audio quality and flexible deployment are critical.
