EAW QX544i-WP

High performance installation speaker for demanding venues
The EAW QX544i-WP WHITE is a passive, high-output, 3-way installation loudspeaker designed to deliver consistent broadband pattern control and exceptional fidelity. Engineered for fixed installation environments, this model excels in large-scale venues requiring long throw, precise directivity, and clean sonic imaging. From concert halls and arenas to houses of worship and public gathering spaces, the QX544i-WP WHITE is a solution for full-range audio coverage in acoustically challenging environments.

Wide coverage with constant directivity control
At the core of the QX544i-WP WHITE is a coaxial compression driver mounted to a 45° x 45° constant directivity horn, offering even sound distribution throughout its defined coverage area. This horn geometry ensures consistent directivity in both horizontal and vertical axes, minimizing hot spots and dead zones. This makes it ideal for applications where speech intelligibility and musical detail must be preserved at long distances.

Symmetrical driver alignment for phase coherence
The low-frequency section includes four 12-inch cone transducers arranged in vertical and horizontal pairs. These drivers are symmetrically mounted around the coaxial mid/high compression driver, resulting in an acoustic center that maintains spatial coherence across the frequency spectrum. This design eliminates typical phase anomalies found in systems with offset driver positions and allows the speaker to function as a true point source.

Built for permanent installation with weather protection
Built from exterior-grade Baltic Birch and finished in weather-resistant textured white paint, the QX544i-WP WHITE is suited for both indoor and outdoor applications. A powder-coated steel grille offers additional protection for the transducers while preserving audio transparency. The WP (Weather Protected) designation ensures that the enclosure meets IP64 standards for resistance to dust and moisture, making it appropriate for partially exposed installs.

Bi-amplified power handling for optimized performance
The system operates in a bi-amped configuration, separating LF and MF/HF signal paths for increased clarity and dynamic headroom. The QX544i-WP WHITE handles up to 1000 watts of program power and provides extended low-frequency pattern control, high SPL capability, and full-range response from 55 Hz to 19 kHz. With a maximum SPL of 147 dB and calculated axial output limits of 136 dB for LF and 135 dB for MF/HF, it delivers clarity and power in equal measure.

Integration with professional EAW solutions
Designed with EAW’s Resolution software and engineering workflows in mind, the QX544i-WP WHITE integrates easily into large-format distributed systems. Whether paired with EAW processing, amplification, or used within larger EAW loudspeaker arrays, this model supports consistent voicing and easy system tuning. It is also backed by EAW’s six-year product warranty.
