DESCRIPTION
EAW’s LS432 line source loudspeaker system brings the clas-
sic column speaker up-to-date. Sophisticated frequency shad-
ing and all-pass filtering integrates the 4x 4-in woofers and
3x 1-in soft dome tweeters, maximizing the benefits of line
source coupling while eliminating grading lobes.

The system maintains a well behaved nominal vertical cov-
erage pattern of 20

°
to below 1000 Hz. Even at 500 Hz, the
vertical pattern is still 80
°
. With the enclosure baffle defin-
ing a gentle arc, the drivers form a curved line source to help
prevent the vertical pattern from collapsing in the crossover
region.

The internal passive crossover/filter network uses complex,
asymmetrical slopes to integrate the subsystems and goes
beyond merely dividing the signal to perform critical equal-
ization functions.

APPLICATION
Like the classic column speakers of the ‘50s and 60’s, the
LS432 was designed to solve speech-only installation prob-
lems in highly reverberant spaces with low ceilings and hard
floors. These might include small houses of worship, librar-
ies or other civic spaces, and transportation hubs.

The 26-in tall, 6.25-in wide enclosure fits nicely on archi-
tectural columns and can be custom painted to blend in
with any decor. The enclosure includes a comprehensive sys-
tem of 1/4”-20 threaded mounting points for easy installa-
tion. The LS432 is available as the LS432-SLT with a 15

mounted near a higher ceiling without sacrificing coverage.
