Description EAW\'s LS432 line source loudspeaker system brings the classic column speaker up to date. Sophisticated frequency shading integrates the four 4 in woofers and three 1 in soft dome tweeters maximizing the benefits of line source coupling while eliminating undesirable lobing. The system maintains a well behaved nominal vertical dispersion of 20° to below 1000 Hz. At 630 Hz the vertical dispersion is still 55°. With the enclosure baffle defining a gentle arc the drivers form a curved line source to help prevent the vertical pattern from collapsing in the crossover region. At the same time the drivers act as direct radiators in the horizontal plane giving the system an extra-wide 140° horizontal dispersion with response that meets professional standards for fidelity and intelligibility.

Applications Like the classic column speakers of the 1950s and 60\'s the LS432 was designed to solve speech-only installation problems in highly reverberant spaces with low ceilings and hard floors. These might include small houses of worship transportation hubs and libraries or other civic spaces. The 26 in tall 6.25 in wide enclosure fits nicely on architectural columns and can be custom painted to blend in with any decor. The enclosure includes a comprehensive system of 1/4-20 threaded mounting points for easy installation
