EAW RSX212L Line Array System

EAW RSX212L — Self-Powered Line Array for Demanding Live Applications

The EAW RSX212L is a 2-way self-powered line array loudspeaker built for rental firms, system integrators, and venues that need professional-grade sound reinforcement with minimal setup time. Part of the RADIUS family, it pairs dual 12-inch low-frequency transducers with dual 1-inch compression drivers in a bi-amplified configuration that delivers 50 Hz to 19 kHz and a maximum SPL of 142 dB. This model is the right choice for touring productions, houses of worship, and corporate events where fast deployment and predictable coverage are non-negotiable.

Intelligent Setup and Signature EAW DSP

What sets this cabinet apart from conventional line array boxes is OptiLogic — EAW's onboard array self-detection system that uses infrared transceivers and accelerometers to identify splay angles and box positions automatically. Once flown, the system applies real-time optimization including air loss compensation and low-frequency build-up correction. EAW Focusing and DynO algorithms shape the impulse response at every output level, preserving transient detail and tonal accuracy that would otherwise smear in a typical powered box.

High-Output Transducers and Bi-Amplified Power

Two 12-inch cone drivers with 2.5-inch voice coils handle the low-frequency band, while two 1-inch exit, 1.7-inch voice coil compression drivers reproduce the high end with clarity and headroom. The bi-amplified architecture routes dedicated Class D power to each section.

• LF Transducers: 2 x 12" cone, 2.5" voice coil — deep, accurate bass response with high thermal headroom
• HF Transducers: 2 x 1" exit, 1.7" voice coil compression drivers — articulate highs that hold up in large venues
• Amplifier Power: LF 1000 W / HF 500 W (Modified Class D) — dedicated headroom per band with integral DSP limiting

Controlled 90° × 12° Dispersion for Predictable Coverage

The articulated array geometry produces a nominal beamwidth of 90° horizontal and 12° vertical, giving engineers broad horizontal reach while keeping vertical energy tightly focused on the audience. This pattern minimizes reflections off walls and ceilings while maintaining even SPL from front to back.

• Frequency Response: 50 Hz – 19 kHz — full-range reproduction that pairs cleanly with EAW RSX subwoofers
• Maximum SPL: 142 dB (peak) — sufficient output for arenas, theaters, and outdoor stages
• Beamwidth: 90° H × 12° V — controlled vertical dispersion that reduces spill and improves intelligibility

Dante Networking with Analog Redundancy

Audio reaches the cabinet through balanced XLR inputs or via Dante over Ethernet, with loop-thru on both formats. Two Neutrik etherCON RJ-45 ports handle digital distribution, while the analog path remains live as automatic backup if the Dante stream drops. The EAWmosaic iOS app provides prediction, control, and monitoring from any seat in the venue.

• Inputs: Balanced XLR, Dante, RJ45 — flexible routing for hybrid analog/digital rigs
• AC Mains: Neutrik PowerCon, 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz — global touring compatibility with loop-thru
• Power Consumption: 26 W idle / 250 W peak draw — efficient operation that reduces generator load

Built for Touring Rigs, Integrators, and Mid-to-Large Venues

The RSX212L is the right choice for rental companies that need a line array that flies quickly and sounds consistent night after night. System integrators in houses of worship, theaters, and corporate auditoriums benefit from the EAWmosaic app's remote monitoring and the analog/Dante redundancy that keeps the show running if one signal path fails. Touring crews appreciate the 37 kg enclosure weight, the integrated rigging hardware, and OptiLogic handling array optimization in seconds. At 142 dB peak SPL with a 50 Hz to 19 kHz bandwidth, the cabinet covers most speech and music applications on its own, with the option to extend low-end response by flying or ground-stacking EAW RSX18F or RSX218 subwoofers.

EAW — Eastern Acoustic Works and the RADIUS Heritage

EAW (Eastern Acoustic Works) develops professional loudspeakers for touring and installed sound, and the RADIUS family brings intelligent, networkable self-powered systems to a broader range of venues. This model inherits that lineage with on-board DSP, infrared array detection, and Dante integration engineered into the cabinet. Every unit ships with a six-year limited warranty.
