EAW RSX89 Active Loudspeaker

EAW RSX89 — Compact Bi-Amplified Loudspeaker for Rental and Installation

The EAW RSX89 is a 2-way self-powered loudspeaker engineered for rental firms, system integrators and live production teams. An 8-inch vented cone driver handles the low end while a 1-inch exit, 1.4-inch voice coil compression driver on a 90°×60° rotatable horn covers the highs. Onboard bi-amplified Class D electronics push 500 W to each section, with EAW's Focusing™ and DynO™ DSP keeping the impulse response clean at every output level.

What Sets This Model Apart

EAW's Focusing™ technology corrects the phase and magnitude anomalies that conventional DSP introduces, while DynO™ dynamic optimisation tracks the signal in real time to keep the cabinet consistent whether running quiet or pushing toward its 128 dB ceiling. Integrated Dante networking with loop-thru and analog redundancy means the unit drops into a digital audio backbone without losing a parallel analog feed. The EAWmosaic™ iOS app adds system prediction, control and monitoring from anywhere in the venue, and four pre-defined voicings give engineers quick tonal starting points.

Technical Parameters

These numbers come straight from the manufacturer datasheet and the verified product database, so integrators and rental techs can spec the box into a system with confidence.

• Frequency Range: 68 Hz – 18 kHz — full-range response from a single 8-inch cabinet
• Max SPL: 128 dB — headroom for live music clubs and small-to-mid venues
• Beamwidth: 90° H × 60° V, rotatable horn — flexible aiming for mains, fills or monitors
• Bi-amplified Class D power section delivers 2 × 500 W with EAW Focusing™ and DynO™ DSP
• Inputs: Balanced XLR (with loop-thru), Dante, RJ-45 — analog and networked audio on one box
• Dimensions: 498 × 315 × 326 mm
• Weight: 15.1 kg

Who Should Choose This Speaker

This model is the right choice for rental houses, regional production companies and AV integrators who need a compact, networkable loudspeaker deployable as a main, fill or stage monitor without re-rigging. House-of-worship techs will appreciate the Dante backbone and the four pre-defined voicings that speed up Sunday-morning setups, while corporate AV teams can rely on the rotatable 90°×60° horn to aim coverage exactly where the audience sits. At 15.1 kg in a 498 mm-tall cabinet, the unit also travels well between gigs and fits standard U-bracket rigging hardware.

EAW and the RADIUS Line

EAW (Eastern Acoustic Works) built its reputation on the celebrated 3-way KF series, and the RADIUS family extends that engineering heritage into a portable, networked format. This model shares the same Focusing™ and DynO™ DSP platform used across the RSX series, with Resolution software and the EAWmosaic™ app tying the whole ecosystem together for system prediction, control and monitoring from a single interface.
