EAW RS123 Active Loudspeaker

EAW RS123 — Self-Powered 12" Loudspeaker for Portable Live Sound

The EAW RS123 is a 2-way self-powered loudspeaker engineered for portable deployment in houses of worship, theatres, and live music clubs. Built around touring-grade HF and LF transducers, this 12" cabinet delivers EAW's signature tonal accuracy in a lightweight wooden enclosure. Onboard bi-amplified Class D electronics provide 1500W of clean headroom, while EAW's proprietary DSP keeps vocals intelligible at the top of the 138 dB ceiling. This loudspeaker is the right choice for production teams that need a reliable powered top with the polish of a larger touring system.

EAW Focusing, DynO, and MK-Inspired Horn Geometry

What sets this cabinet apart from generic powered tops is the trio of EAW core technologies baked into the on-board DSP. EAW Focusing eliminates phase anomalies between drivers for unmatched musical clarity, while DynO dynamic processing protects the system from harshness at peak levels. The rotatable constant-directivity HF horn descends from the design theory proven in EAW's legendary MK Series.

Technical Parameters — Performance and Connectivity

The numbers translate directly into on-stage confidence: 138 dB of headroom, a 47 Hz – 20 kHz range, and 1500W of Class D bi-amp power mean a single cabinet per side can handle vocals, instruments, and even kick drum in smaller rooms.

• Frequency Range: 47 Hz – 20 kHz — full-range response covering vocals, guitars, and kick without a sub
• Max SPL: 138 dB — enough headroom for a full band in mid-size venues
• Transducers: 12" cone LF paired with a 3" voice coil neodymium compression driver on a 1.4" exit horn
• Amplification: 1500 W Class D bi-amp with EAW Focusing, DynO DSP, and Main/Monitor mode switch
• Connectivity & Mounting: Balanced XLR/TRS input with XLR loop-through, M20 pole socket, and M10 fly points

Who This Loudspeaker Is Built For

This model is the right choice for live sound professionals, regional rental houses, and AV integrators who need a self-powered 12" top that can serve as a main or a monitor. Houses of worship will appreciate the rotatable horn and EAW Focusing clarity for spoken word. Corporate AV teams benefit from the 19 kg wooden enclosure, M20 pole mount, and M10 fly points that let the same cabinet work as a stand-mounted FOH speaker or a stage wedge.
