The company notes that it's like "having a rack mounted power strip without the rack."

The boxes' consistent construction allows for a number of configuration possibilities spanning the VFR and VFS Series, including clusters and arrays, matching speaker/subwoofer pairs or standalone units.

EAW's recent additions to their MicroWedge Series of stage monitors include the MicroWedge8 (MW8) and MicroWedge10 (MW10). The MW8 has an 8-inch woofer and the MW10 features a 10-inch woofer. Both units' coaxial designs pair the respective woofers with a 3-in (diaphragm) coaxially-mounted HF compression driver, and both are designed for impressive size-to-performance ratio, feedback stability, LF output, durability and out-of-the-box performance.
