Welcome to ‘Line array’ control and output, without the line array. The QX series is optimized for installed system applications that require precise directivity in a powerful, low-profile form.
The QX Series delivers very high output point source clusters in a very size-efficient package. The series includes two ranges – QX500 and QX300 – each of which delivers a choice of coverage patterns from systems that use identical enclosures.
The series is particularly geared toward medium-to-large-sized spaces. Ideal in sports arenas the series is also designed for a wide range of other venues requiring high power and consistent coverage in a compact housing; venues including houses of worship, outdoor stadiums, performing arts spaces, theaters and clubs.
The QX’s broadband pattern control lets it tame hostile acoustical environments like cathedrals or highly reverberant public spaces. And its exceptional fidelity pleases the most critical listeners in concert halls and performing arts centers.

Core technologies featured in the QX Series include:
Symmetrical arrangement of acoustic sources along a common axis for utmost consistency throughout the coverage pattern.
Tuned spacing of LF components to extend pattern control without the need for enormous horns.
Use of advanced digital signal processing to perfect impulse response of a loudspeaker in the time domain. Eliminating horn “honk” and splashiness, the loudspeaker sounds more like a studio monitor than a “PA” speaker.
Double-trapezoidal enclosure lends itself to arraying. To rotate pattern simply rotate the enclosure (mounting points on all sides).
The QX Series technology platform features a bilaterally symmetrical design. That is, all frequency sections share both the vertical and horizontal axes, producing idealized summation and unmatched coherency. Four low frequency cones spaced symmetrically at tuned distances deliver pattern control well into the LF passband.
The passive, wired-for-biamplification QX Series draws on the knowledge and engineering resources gained through the development of EAW’s lauded AX Series, maintaining its reputation of “big horns in compact packages.”
A centrally located co-axial MF/HF horn and two pairs (four) of phase-aligned neodymium 12-inch low frequency transducers team together to ensure that the entire frontal area contributes to horizontal and vertical pattern control capability.
Because the four low frequency transducers surround the high compression driver symmetrically in the horizontal and vertical planes, response across the full frequency spectrum appears to originate from a single point in space.
Users can select between single-amp and bi-amp operating modes. Additionally, each woofer pair is brought out to the input plate independently to permit independent, series, or parallel wiring. Combined, these features offer enormous installation flexibility.
EAW strongly recommends utilizing the processing setting to take full advantage of your speakers. Pair with EAW UXA Amps for the best performance of EAW Technologies.
Every EAW product series works seamlessly with our array of software applications designed to make installation easier and sound optimization a more exact science.
EAW Resolution 2, for example, is a powerful and easy-to-use simulation software that accurately predicts the performance of multiple arrays within a venue. Driven by EAW’s proprietary F-Chart acoustics modeling software, Resolution is more accurate and powerful than previous generations of software by utilizing measured 3D acoustic data.
Output levels are displayed by varying color using a variety of methods, including 1/3-octave and broadband SPL, A and C weighted. The actual frequency response at any point in a venue can also be viewed. User-defined environmental conditions, specifically temperature and humidity, are factored into these calculations.
EAW’s proprietary Resolution 2 modeling software allows you to accurately predict performance and optimize multiple arrays.
