The EAW RS153 is a high-performance, 1500W powered 2-way portable loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional clarity, deep bass, and unmatched tonal accuracy in a variety of professional sound environments. Part of the RS Series, the RS153 combines signature EAW sound quality with a lightweight and durable wooden enclosure, making it ideal for both mobile and permanent installations. Engineered around high-quality HF and LF transducers, the RS153 is built to meet the audio performance needs of demanding professional applications, including live sound reinforcement, touring, and events. With its high-quality components and advanced features, the RS153 ensures reliable, high-output sound, whether you're using it in a portable PA system or as part of a larger venue setup.

Equipped with 1500W of Class-D amplification, the RS153 provides efficient, powerful sound reproduction across a wide frequency range. The system includes a 15-inch low-frequency transducer with a 3-inch voice coil, delivering deep, accurate bass and punchy low-end response. The high-frequency driver features a 3-inch voice coil neodymium compression driver with a 1.4-inch exit, providing clear, detailed highs with minimal distortion, even at high output levels. The combination of these high-quality transducers ensures best-in-class acoustic performance for a wide range of applications, from live sound events to portable sound systems.

One of the standout features of the RS153 is its large-format, constant directivity HF horn, which is rotatable and inspired by the legendary MK Series. This horn design provides EAW's signature pattern control, allowing for precise sound dispersion across a 90° horizontal and 60° vertical beamwidth. The ability to rotate the horn allows for flexible setup, ensuring optimal coverage in a variety of settings. Whether used in small clubs, large venues, or outdoor events, the RS153 ensures even sound distribution throughout the audience area, ensuring that every listener experiences high-quality audio.

To optimize performance, the RS153 incorporates EAW Focusing DSP technology, which enhances the clarity and accuracy of sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum. This advanced signal processing ensures that the speaker maintains its tonal balance and delivers pristine sound even at high drive levels. Additionally, DynO dynamic optimization processing preserves the integrity of the audio signal at maximum output levels, maintaining high fidelity without distortion. The RS153 also features a carefully tuned crossover at 800 Hz, optimizing the transition between the low and high-frequency drivers for seamless sound reproduction.

In terms of versatility, the RS153 offers two operating modes: Main / Monitor and Mic / Line, making it suitable for both live sound reinforcement and monitoring applications. The electronically balanced XLR inputs and outputs provide easy integration into professional audio systems, while the Neutrik PowerCONx connector ensures secure and reliable power connections. The speaker operates with either a 100-120V or 200-240V power supply, with minimal current draw during idle or low-power operation (50W idle, 75W at 1/8th power, 200W at 1/3rd power), ensuring energy efficiency even during long performances.

The RS153 is housed in a 15mm plywood enclosure, ensuring durability while keeping the speaker's weight manageable. It is built with M10 threaded suspension points for easy mounting in permanent installations or for rigging in live sound setups. With dimensions of 28.9 x 17.3 x 16.1 inches and a net weight of 55 lbs (shipping weight: 64 lbs), the RS153 strikes a balance between portability and performance, making it a versatile and dependable solution for professional audio applications.
