EAW RSX129 Active Loudspeaker

EAW RSX129 — Self-Powered Point-Source Loudspeaker for Touring and Installation

The EAW RSX129 is a 2-way self-powered loudspeaker engineered for rental firms, system integrators, and live-music venues. A 12-inch low-frequency driver pairs with a 1-inch exit compression driver through EAW's MK-inspired constant-directivity horn, delivering a 90° × 60° rotatable coverage pattern. Onboard bi-amplified electronics push 500 W RMS per band, so this cabinet hits 135 dB max SPL without external racks. This loudspeaker is the right choice for production teams who need a flexible, networkable point-source cabinet that drops straight into a Dante audio infrastructure.

What Sets the RSX129 Apart

EAW's signature Focusing™ and DynO™ DSP live inside the cabinet, correcting the impulse response at every output level so vocals stay intelligible and program material hits with full transient detail. Beamwidth-Matched Crossovers align the LF and HF dispersion patterns across the crossover region, eliminating off-axis lobing. Integrated Dante™ networking with loop-through and analog redundancy lets a single cable carry audio, control, and monitoring data, while the EAWmosaic™ iOS app delivers system prediction and remote tuning from anywhere in the venue.

Who the EAW RSX129 Is Built For

This loudspeaker suits a wide range of professional audio roles. Houses of worship get clean vocal reproduction and Dante networking for distributed sanctuary systems. Theatres and performing arts centers benefit from the rotatable horn, letting techs aim coverage at raked seating without re-rigging. Live music clubs, corporate AV houses, and regional rental firms deploy the RSX129 as mains or fill, while dry-hire customers appreciate Dante loop-through that simplifies multi-cabinet cabling. EAWmosaic™ system prediction software lets installers model coverage before a single box leaves the warehouse.
