EAW FR153z Loudspeaker

These EAW FR153z Loudspeakers show signs of heavy wear but are in good working condition.

The EAW FR153z is a three-way, full-range loudspeaker designed primarily for portable sound reinforcement, giving musicians and DJs a compact, professional option for small to medium venues. Its true three-way design assigns lows, mids, and highs to dedicated transducers for clearer vocals and more natural overall balance, especially at typical gig and event volumes.

Three-Way Design for Clearer Vocals

Inside the vented trapezoidal enclosure, the FR153z combines a 15-inch woofer for low frequencies, a 6.5-inch midrange cone housed in a sealed internal subenclosure for vocal presence, and a 1-inch exit / 2-inch voice coil compression driver for high-frequency detail. The HF driver is mounted on a 100° conical Wave Guide Plate (WGP) to help deliver broad, even coverage that suits typical club rooms, event spaces, and portable PA setups.

Passive Full-Range Operation

The FR153z uses an internal passive LF/MF/HF crossover and filter network for full-range passive powering. Beyond simply splitting frequencies, the network performs critical equalization functions, which helps streamline setup when you want a straightforward, amplifier-to-speaker signal path without external processing requirements for basic operation.

Built for Portable PA Workflows

Designed with working setups in mind, the enclosure includes handles, threaded mounting points, rubber footpads, and a pole mount cup as standard. This makes it easy to deploy as a main speaker on a stand, or as part of a flexible portable rig.

Compatible Systems

The FR153z works with the FR250z subwoofer/pole mount base to create an instant portable system when additional low-frequency output is needed.
