The EAW RS123 is a 1500W, 12-inch powered 2-way portable loudspeaker designed to provide superior sound performance with exceptional clarity and accuracy. Part of the RS Series, the RS123 is built with EAW’s signature engineering, featuring high-quality HF and LF transducers, and offering reliable, powerful performance for a wide range of live sound applications. The RS123 is designed for professionals who demand high performance in a portable, lightweight, and durable package. Engineered with EAW’s advanced technologies, the RS123 is capable of delivering clear, deep bass and crystal-clear high frequencies, making it ideal for venues, portable PA systems, and mobile setups.

The RS123 is equipped with 1500W of Class-D amplification, ensuring efficient power handling while maintaining compactness and portability. This loudspeaker also features high-quality transducers, including a 15-inch low-frequency cone with a 2.5-inch voice coil and a 1.7-inch voice coil compression driver with a 1-inch exit for high frequencies. The combination of these powerful drivers provides best-in-class acoustic performance, ensuring that the RS123 delivers clear, full-range sound with remarkable depth and tonal accuracy.

One of the standout features of the RS123 is its constant directivity, large-format horn, which is rotatable to accommodate different configurations. This horn design, inspired by the legendary MK Series, has been proven in demanding performance venues across the globe. It ensures that the RS123 delivers precise pattern control with even sound dispersion across the entire venue. The RS123 provides a nominal beamwidth of 90 horizontal and 60 vertical, ensuring consistent coverage. The speaker’s DSP (digital signal processing) includes EAW Focusing and DynO technologies, which optimize performance for musical clarity, tonal accuracy, and high output levels, ensuring that the speaker excels even at high drive levels.

The RS123’s advanced port design features asymmetric geometry, which helps control reflections and resonance, enhancing the subwoofer’s overall low-frequency response. This ensures that the low frequencies are delivered with power and clarity, without muddiness or distortion. Additionally, the RS123 comes equipped with EAW’s Resolution software, a powerful and user-friendly simulation tool that accurately predicts the performance of the speaker within a specific venue or performance space, helping professionals optimize the system for their environment.

Built for both portability and durability, the RS123 is housed in a rugged 15mm plywood enclosure with M10 threaded suspension points for easy mounting in professional setups. It also features a lightweight design, making it easy to transport to and from events. The RS123 can operate in two modes – Main/Monitor and Mic/Line – providing versatile performance for various applications. The loudspeaker operates with an electronically balanced XLR input and loop type, and it supports both 100-120V or 200-240V power inputs, making it suitable for use around the world. With a maximum SPL of 136 dB (peak), the RS123 is capable of delivering powerful, high-quality sound, and it operates within a frequency range of 43 Hz to 20 kHz, covering a wide spectrum of sound for full-range sound reproduction.

With dimensions of 28.9 x 17.3 x 16.1 inches and a net weight of 54 lbs, the RS123 is both compact and lightweight for its performance level. It is easily transportable for touring professionals or mobile setups. The shipping weight is 64 lbs, ensuring it is still manageable despite its robust build and powerful output. The speaker comes with an IEC connector for easy connectivity and a current draw that ranges from a minimal 50W at idle to a maximum of 600W at full power, ensuring efficient energy consumption.
