1934 — EV invents the hum-bucking
coil for microphones (still a standard
almost 70 years later).
1940s — EV introduces noise can-
cellation to microphones; revolution-
izes tank and aircraft communica-
tions.
1954 — EV introduces Variable-D®
microphone technology, a means of
eliminating the up-close bass boost of
conventional, single-D directional
microphones — for high vocal intelli-
gibility under the typical varying con-
ditions of use in churches and meet-
ing rooms.
1963 — EV receives an award from
the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences for the development of
a shotgun microphone — the 642
Cardiline® — which significantly
advances the quality of sound on film.
1974 — EV develops constant-
directivity (CD) horns. For the first
time, a loudspeaker maintains its
rated coverage angles over a wide
frequency range, for significantly
more uniform sound quality and
higher intelligibility throughout
the audience.
It’s late afternoon, and a few men in fedoras are examining blueprints
in the basement of an Indiana tire company. It’s hot. It’s dusty.
The year is 1927, and these are the humble beginnings of
Electro-Voice. While the history of EV may read like classic
“rags-to-riches” pulp fiction, it is still a real tale of American success.
Over the course of time, EV has grown into one of today’s dominant,
worldwide forces in the design and manufacturing of top-quality
products for broadcast, studio recording, touring sound, perma-
nently installed sound reinforcement and music playback systems.
Recognized the world over as a leader in audio technology, EV is
ubiquitous in performing arts centers, sports facilities, houses of
worship, cinemas, live music and dance clubs, transportation cen-
ters and theatres.
EV’s reputation for providing superior audio product and dedication
to innovation continues today. EV, now a product brand of Telex
Communications, Inc., shares technology with other Telex product
brands: Dynacord, Klark-Teknik, Midas, RTS and TELEX.
1986—EV revolutionizes concert sound
reinforcement by introducing Manifold
Technology®.In each of four bandpasses
covering the entire frequency range, the
output of four loudspeakers is flawlessly
combined – or “manifolded”– into a single
horn or low-frequency enclosure. The result
is – in a physical package a fraction of the
size of conventional concert rigs – four
times the acoustic output without the
drastically uneven coverage of multiple
acoustic sources “stacked” for more output.
1990s—EV invents
RMDtechnology
(Ring-Mode Decoupling),
a revolutionary anodyne
to sonic distortion and
coloration. Speaker
system resolution and
clarity increases by
minimizing fundamental
resonant frequencies.
2000—EV invents VOB
technology (Vocal-Optimized Bass),
an innovative mechanical design
that significantly reduces proximity
effect, allowing for greater vocal
intelligibility and instrumental
clarity. EV also invents ClearScan
,
a revolutionary innovation
in wireless technologies that
enables automatic, frequency agile
selection of the best of ten UHF
channels.
2001 - EV introduces RACE
technology (Realtime Acoustic
Cluster Editor), a synergetic
concept of correlating digital
crossover and filter design
with realworld loudspeaker
behavior. Results are
predictability and precise
control of magnitude, phase
and directivity of complex
loudspeaker arrays.
2002 - EV launches IRIS,
Intelligent Remote & Integrated
Supervision, a system
combining remote amplifier
control and supervision with
digital signal processing built
into the amplifiers. Complex
RACE loudspeaker data is
processed for perfect match of
transducer parameters and
their electrical driving force.

Eliminator®i
Force i is much more than speakers and a power amp. It’s a
professional, live performance sound system with components that
were designed to play together. Consider this: Most lower-priced sound
systems depend on two-way speakers to carry the extra load of providing high,
middle, and low-end frequencies. Force i does what pro concert systems do—
delivers its bass through a dedicated subwoofer—without requiring a separate
amp and crossover. The sound is incredible; with extended, thundering bass that
no system without a sub can beat. The EV Eliminator i power amp features LPN
processing that enhances the performance of the Force i speakers. And all Force
i enclosures were designed with comfortable, ergonomic handles and a very cool
appearance. The features of the individual Force i system components are
impressive enough on their own. But imagine all these great features, all this
innovative engineering and technology, coming together to make your music
sound better than you imagined. That’s what puts Force i ahead of any other
sound “system” in its price range.
Metal stand mounts built into all
Force i speakers help you
assemble an awesome-sounding
system in a small footprint.
Like a compact touring system, Force i gives you concert-proven Electro-Voice
technology that’s used by bands playing stadiums and concert halls around
the world:
EV’s exclusive Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD®) technology ensures that Force i
speakers deliver smooth vocals and pristine mids with perfect reproduction of overtones. You
can’t see RMD (it’s part of each driver and enclosure) but you’ll hear
the sonic difference it makes with every note.
Pure EV components — titanium compression drivers that have toured the world,
Constant-Directivity horns that maintain their coverage, woofers with four-layer voice coils.
Force i has solid-as-a-vault, precisely-tuned EV enclosures made of patented RoadWood™
that's lighter and stronger than what other systems in Force i's price range use.

PI version
EV popularized the concept of lightweight high-performance speakers of
compact size, using injection-molded structural-foam enclosures with
rounded, user-friendly contours and featuring molded-in horns and
attachment/rigging points. EV´s structural-foam enclosures produce minimal
resonance. Sx systems (Sx300 and Sx500) have sensitivities as high as 100
dB/1W/1m (Sx300 limited pink noise) and the PI and PIX versions are
especially designed for outdoor use. The horn´s unique Varipaththroat
geometry helps direct driver output to the corners of the room. The Array
brackets – and especially the Unique Mounting Hardware – allows for a
highly flexible and quick install. For a uniform array appearance Sx100,
Sx300 and Sb121 have the same dimensions and attachment points.
The Sx80 is made of injection-molded, high-impact polystyrene and is
designed for the optional stand mount adapter, Sx80 SM, to be retrofitted.
The structured black surface is paintable. The accessories SH Sx300
(Protection Cover) and F200 (Monitor Foot) fit the Sx100/300 and Sb121.
All systems are protected by a perforated powder-coated metal grille. The
front of the PI and PIX variants are covered by a powder-coated, full-face
stainless steel grille backed with foam.

Back in the late 60s, the EV Eliminator started a revolution. In 1999, the
new Eliminator icontinued its success. Eliminator ii has a linear frequency
response below 50 Hz and an overlapped second LF woofer with a cut off
at 700 Hz to avoid acoustical interferences in the midrange.
Eliminator iis black carpet-covered, constructed of EV´s RoadWood. The
Eliminator ifamily, except Eliminator ii,have a 35 mm stand mount,
Eliminator iSub comes with a 45 cm steel pole and contains a combined
electrical/acoustical low-pass filter designed for parallel combinations
especially with the Eliminator i.A well-designed crossover with power-
tracking protection provides great sound with fail-safe operation.

QRx Series
QRx Series is designed from the bottom up as an ultralinear and highly
flexible audio system controlled by P-Series controller amps which are
based on the world-famous Precision Series.QRx Series incorporates
premium EV components, including the DH7 which uses the same 3”
diaphragm as the famous ND-6 driver used in X-Array.There are new
special features which are well-founded. These include the ergonomical
formed safe-grip handle which make handling much more comfortable and
are much safer than standard handles. PrecisionSeries controller amps
are the first choice to power QRx Series. Other high quality amplifiers can
be used to power QRx Series using an external controller such as the
Dx38. QRx Series is the first choice for professional mobile applications or
high-quality Pro Sound permanent installations.
QRx Series are black-painted 18-ply plywood with a black powder-coated
metal grille backed with foam. All subs house a hidden pole-mount in the
top handle. A threaded steel pole is available. All QRx tops and the
QRx218S subwoofer are flyable using L-Track. The L-Track is on the top
and the bottom of QRx 112/75 and QRx115/75. Two L-Tracks fit on the top
of the QRx212/75 and also on the side of the QRx218S. The new
asymmetric and fully rotatable CD horn allows the QRx to be flown
horizontally, upside down or vertically. The operation mode (passive/biamp)
of the tops is easily selected on the external input panel. The QRx112/75
and the QRx115/75 have a polemount and can also be used as
floor monitors.

FRX+ Systems
FRX+ Series loudspeakers are designed for applications in critical reverberant
spaces where excellent directivity control is desired. Typical small-sized
speaker systems are not able to maintain their rated coverage angles below
2000 Hz. Their wide beamwidth in the low mid-band creates serious
degradation of speech intelligibility and clarity of music.
FRX+PI cabinets are weatherized for use in outdoor areas or areas of high
humidity/high moisture. This version features a layered stainless steel grille,
water-resistant foam, treated woofer, aluminum and stainless exterior
hardware, and gasket-sealed terminal cover with gland nut.
EV´s FRX+ systems solve these problems, providing excellent wideband
directivity control.
The all horn-loaded, coaxial design supplies sufficient radiation surface to
enable narrow coverage angles down to 500 Hz with moderate cabinet sizes.
FRX+ 640/660/940 cabinets are texture-painted 7-ply plywood with powder-
coated steel grille backed with foam. FRX-122 has a cloth-covered grille.
A contractor-installable transformer option is available.

Electro-Voice®’s unique EVI Vari Intense®(VI) speakers are engineered to
replace additional long-throw horns or delayed sources in many rooms. The
EVI Vari Intense®series provides an economical solution for permanent
installations that require coverage over a rectangular area. In a typical room,
the distance from the loudspeaker to the last row is two or more times that
to the front row, resulting in a substantial loss in level and intelligibility at the
rear. The VI horn delivers 6 to 8 dB more SPL to the back of the room,
overcoming the level loss without resorting to the expense and complexity of
additional speaker systems or components. The problem is old; EV®’s
solution is new. EVI is perfect for conference centers, houses of worship,
halls, and other venues where evenly distributed SPL is essential. EVI
systems are made of 18 mm 13-ply birch plywood (EVI 28: 12 mm
9-ply), texture-painted with a powder-coated metal grille.
A simple 3-2-1 rule-of-thumb applies for determining EVI coverage patterns:
The pattern’s width will equal twice the height of the room, and the pattern’s
length will equal three times the height. See the illustration below.
EVI Vari Intense®coverage pattern (3-2-1 Rule):
If speaker height = H, then coverage length = 3H,
coverage width = 2H, and first row coverage = 1H

Xi-Series
Premium touring-quality sound. Install it anywhere.
Inspired by the most demanded features of EV’s acclaimed X-Array
touring systems, the Xi-Seriesincorporates a potent combination of very-
high-output short-, medium- and long-throw “cells, in two- and three-way
configurations, all with EV’s unique RMD(Ring-Mode Decoupling). Dual L-
track suspension hardware optimizes Xi for permanent installation and
portable applications of small-to-medium size.
The Xi-Seriesthree-way systems may be “tripole” or “dipole” configured to
extend the vertical coverage-angle control to as low as 125 Hz—well below
that permitted by the mid-bass horn alone (about 800 Hz) and
unprecedented performance in a one-box system. Tripole configuration of
the dual-woofer three-way systems provides the best directivity
improvement, achieved by the vertically spaced low-frequency sources
which flank the mid-bass horn operating alone at low frequencies and by
appropriately overlapping the LF and MB sources in the mid bass, e.g., 125
to 540 Hz. The required signal processing is available in EV Dx38, EV RL
Series amplifiers, and Klark Teknik DN9848 digital processors, which
contain dual all-pass filters required for proper configuration.
The single-woofer three-way systems may be dipole configured. This is
achieved by overlapping the woofer and mid-bass sources in the
appropriate frequency ranges.

Subwoofer
The XLCi 118 is a direct radiating design using the legendary
EVX180B 18-inch woofer. The XLCi 118 utilizes the same rigging
and has 1.5 times the height of the XLCi 127 main cabinet. This
allows a hang of XLCi 118s to be flown adjacent to the main hang
at a 3:2 ratio, maintaining aesthetic requirements for equal hang
heights. Flying subwoofers benefits in a more even front-to-back
SPL distribution.
Main Cabinet
This cabinet is the main
component of an XLCi line
array. Starting with a
minimum of four cabinets, a
typical array size uses six to
eight boxes. The three-way
axis-asymmetric design
includes a single EV DL-12
low-frequency/mid-bass
woofer optimized for this
cabinet. Two 6.5” horn-
loaded drivers in a vertical
array comprise the mid-
frequency bandpass.
The XLCi 127+ utilizes two ND6 (3” voice-coil) neodymium compression drivers
loaded on two Hydra™ plane wave generators. With a horizontal coverage of
120°, the XLCi system accurately covers wide areas while maintaining excellent
imaging and lobe-free coverage. The XLCi 127+ is equipped with an internal
crossover for mid-bass and high-frequency to allow for either biamp or triamp
operation.
The 127 is identical to the XLCi 127+, except for the 2 DH2T (2” voice-coil)
compression drivers loaded on two Hydra elements. The XLCi 127 utilizes also an
internal x-over for biamp or triamp use, although it is mainly recommended for
biamp operation. The XLCi 127 should not be combined with the XLCi 127+ in the
same hang.
While big brother X-Line serves all the acoustical needs of the largest venues and
arenas, EV’s compact line array XLCi was designed to match the demands for easy
setup and transportation combined with outstanding sonic results in a variety of
venue sizes.

MH-Series stadium horns are designed for large-scale stadiums and arenas where high-fidelity sound and directivity
control from low mid-bass frequencies and below are absolutely essential. In 1974, EV pioneered the concepts of
constant directivity (horn angles that are constant with frequency) and Manifold® technology (which combines
the outputs of multiple transducers into one source). Large-format MH horns incorporate both in several
horn/driver systems. Medium-format MH horns are excellent for short/medium throw applications or as infills
for large-format MH-horns.
Medium-format MH-Series horns
MH medium-format horns have a high Q and uniform directivity control down to 500 Hz. The mid-
bass section features an Aperiodic Enhancer™ phase plug which extends the high-end output to
blend seamlessly into the coaxial high-frequency section. The HF section contains a small-
format HP horn with EV´s patented Transplanar™ design to provide exceptionally smooth frequency
response. The one-piece main horn bell is a black polyester/fiberglass laminate with composite
reinforcement. Up to three pieces can be paralleled in active or passive mode without a minimum
impedance load at the amplifier.

Large-format MH-horns
MH large-format horns feature Manifold®technology, have a very high Q and uniform directivity control. Because
of their large mouth size, MH horns maintain their beamwidth to very low frequencies – below to 250 Hz –
reducing bass spillover and increasing intelligibility. The HF-section contains an appropriate medium-format
HP-horn that accepts EV two-inch-exit single or dual drivers of the designer´s choice, extending response to
20 kHz. HF drivers and adapters must be ordered separately (see page 45). The dual driver doubles
HF output, important for very long throws. N/DYM®drivers offer the ultimate output in the upper octaves,
important when contemporary music is to be heard over long distances. The large horn size also
provides frequency response to 100 Hz, typically eliminating the need for supplemental low-frequency
systems. The mid-bass section features Aperiodic Enhancer™ phase plug. It is responsible for the
extended high-frequency response of the mid-band section. It makes use of the fact that only the
apex of the cone (near the voice coil) is in motion at higher frequencies, and automatically adjusts
the acoustic loading to maximize acoustic output.
The main horn bell is a one-piece black polyester and fiberglass with fiberglass rib reinforcement.
An integral grille-protection screen built into the manifold chamber protects the mid-bass for
mechanical damage. To get low-frequency extension one octave lower, the recommended
subwoofer is the QRx-218S.

Underwater Loudspeaker
The UW 30 represents a departure in the design of underwater
sound sources. Its unique, patented design uses the case´s structural
enclosure as the sound transducer. Underwater speakers are
required equipment for many activities in commercial, luxury resort
pools and synchronized swimming events or instructions in Olympic
pools. They are used for water ballets and similar water shows.
UW 30 has a high-fidelity sound with low distortion, and the effect of
music played underwater through it is truly enchanting.
The outer case of UW 30 is made of high-impact ABS and is
pool-blue in color. All internal components are sealed inside the
speaker through a “hot-melt” process, allowing it to be used in fresh-
or salt-water pools or ocean environments. Sound dispersion is up to
30 x 30 feet (10 x 10 m) under water. Operating depth is up to
10 feet (3 m), with a recommended depth of 4 feet (1.2 m). Note:
For overload protection, install a 25-ohm, 20-watt resistor in parallel
with a 1.5-amp, fast-blowing fuse in series with the speaker.

Cinema Systems
Electro-Voice loudspeakers are as much a part of cinema as “going to the
movies” is part of our popular culture. For example, it would be hard to
believe Jurassic Park without those thunderous dinosaur steps, or to
imagine not hearing Judy Garland sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in
the classic film The Wizard of Oz.
For decades, EV has provided theaters worldwide with properly designed
screen channel and surround loudspeakers that meet or exceed Dolby®and
THX™ standards. In the 1970s, Electro-Voice was the first to offer to the
cinema industry Constant Directivity™ horns and smaller, more efficient
low-frequency systems using Thiele-Small parameters. In the 1990s,
EV was the first to bring asymmetrical horns to 3-way systems in our
Variplex line of screen channel loudspeakers. In 2002, we proudly
introduced the first all-passive, 3-way, Variplex screen system, requiring only
one amplifier channel. Technological innovations from the EV Engineering
Group continue strongly today, just as they have since 1927.
We know cinema, from the largest theater chains, to the most prestigious
film festivals, even to being the official sound of ShoWest. Electro-Voice
Cinema Systems provide the highest quality sound to bring the movies
to life.

X-Array
X-Arrayspeaker systems provide world class performance and flexibility
for concert touring systems.
The X-ArrayX-Seriesrepresents important advancements in concert-
sound reinforcement technology. The design goals called for the highest
acoustic output capability with the highest fidelity in a relatively lightweight,
compact enclosures that were easy to array. The individual systems, drivers,
horns, enclosures, rigging hardware and system configurations were
designed from the ground up specifically for this high-performance
application. For additional easier handling special speaker dollies are
available. RMDwas another ingenious development when X-Arraywas
“born”. EV´s traditional top-down development strategy brings this essential
acoustic advantage “down” through other EV products. X-Arrayhas
unprecedented acoustic output and excellent directivity control.
Rigging for big hangs: unique rear-hinge rigging for fast, easy and
secure rigging. A 64-box hang goes up or down in 30 minutes. Front rigging
straps control vertical aiming, rear fixed hinge makes tilting easy. Mating
positioning recesses on cabinet tops and bottoms help to assemble and
disassemble an array on the ground, a layer at a time. A detailed 25-page
“flying manual and structural ratings” handbook is available.
The X-Arrayone-person rigging hardware is TÜV approved.
Neodymium magnetics: for lighter weight and maximum acoustic
output. All 12-inch mid-bass transducers are the ND12A, for a 3-dB
average increase in output. Neodymium in the ND5-16 compression driver
increases output in the upper octaves. The ND5-16 driver features a 3.5”
titanium diaphragm.
Amping and Controller: X-Arrayis powered by EV´s world famous
Precision Seriesand controlled by Klark Teknik DN 9848 digital 4-in/8-out
controller, Electro-Voice Dx38, or Precision Series Remote amplifiers for
flexible and easy configurations. Flyable amp racks are available.
X-Arrayis made of 13-ply birch plywood finished in black textured paint
and protected by a powder-coated steel front grille backed with foam.

X-Line
Development of the EV®X-Linesystem was driven by
the need for a high-level concert touring enclosure that
combines the sonic impact and vocal intelligibility of the
renowned X-Arraysystem with the uniform, predictable
coverage that only a line-array configuration can deliver.
The EV engineering team set out to develop the next
generation of line-array systems, combining their years
of experience in the development of X-Array with the
absolute latest state-of-the-art technologies. As a matter
of course, X-Line features the essential acoustical
advantage of RMD.
The X-Line system was designed to provide wide
horizontal dispersion (90°) from a single vertical line
array while providing exceptionally coherent wavefront
summing in the vertical plane. At the heart of X-Line is a
newly developed high-frequency wavefront alignment
and summation device – the Hydra– that provides
planar and time-coherent signal addition. The broad
bandwidth vertical planar summing provides uniform
sound field distribution throughout the listening area.
Stereo imaging is improved by the X-Line´s full-
bandwidth mid-bass loading. Extended low-frequency
polar control produces more uniform power response,
further enhancing overall system intelligibility. The overall
power response of the X-Line is very uniform across a
wide frequency spectrum, making possible the system´s
very musical sonic character.
If every performance space conformed to the same
acoustic ideal, any linear loudspeaker array would
suffice. But every arena, concert hall, and stadium is a
unique space, and the one-box, one-dimensional design
of most linear arrays just can´t adapt. X-Line is different.
X-Line lets you match the acoustical solution to the
acoustical environment.
X-Line lets you stack Xvls enclosures at the top of an
array for long throw with a 90° horizontal included angle,
followed by Xvlt enclosures for the shorter throw and
120° horizontal coverage needed at the J-curve of the
array. Beneath the array, Xfil enclosures provide downfill
coverage that maintains the vertical integrity of the array.
Completing the X-Line system are Xsub subwoofers that
can be flown next to the main array or ground stacked.
X-Line is made of 13-ply birch plywood with structural
aluminum reinforcement finished with a rugged foam-
backed steel grille to protect the drivers. A user’s guide
with detailed specifications is available on request.
Electro-Voice recommends using the Klark Teknik
DN9848 or EV’s Dx38 as the system controller, along
with EV P3000 power amplifiers, for amplification.

Technical Specifications for XLC Cabinets
39
Main Cabinet
This cabinet is the main component of an XLC line array. Starting with a
minimum of four cabinets, a typical array size uses six to eight boxes.
The three-way axis-asymmetric design includes a single EV DL-12
low-frequency/mid-bass woofer optimized for this cabinet. Two 6.5” horn-
loaded drivers in a vertical array comprise the mid-frequency bandpass.
The XLC 127+ utilizes two ND6 (3” voice-coil) neodymium compression
drivers loaded on two Hydraplane wave generators. With a horizontal
coverage of 120°, the XLC system accurately covers wide areas while
maintaining excellent imaging and lobe-free coverage. The XLC 127+ is
equipped with an internal x-over for mid-bass and high-frequency to allow
for either biamp or triamp operation.
The 127 is identical to the XLC 127+, except for the 2 DH2T (2” voice-coil)
compression drivers loaded on two Hydra elements. The XLC 127 also uses
an internal crossover for biamp or triamp use. The XLC 127 should not be
combined with the XLC 127+ in the same hang.
Subwoofer
The XLC 118 is a direct radiating design using the legendary EVX180B
18-inch woofer. The XLC 118 utilizes the same rigging and has 1.5 times the
height of the XLC 127 main cabinet. This allows a hang of XLC 118s to be
flown adjacent to the main hang at a 3:2 ratio, maintaining aesthetic
requirements for equal hang heights. Flying subwoofer benefits include in
a more even front-to-back SPL distribution.

Components
EV component woofers are high-efficiency designs highly refined from
years of development and field experience. They employ extended-length
voice coils for high-impact reproduction of dynamic low-frequency
program. All woofers feature proprietary heat-transfer systems for
unmatched power capacity and reliability. Kevlar®-fiber-composite cones
are used to provide structural strength to resist collapse during explosive
dynamic peaks and to provide internal mechanical damping to minimize
resonances that can change the character of the sound at high levels. DL
and EVX woofers are made of cast aluminum frames with push terminals,
and all feature Ring-Mode Decoupling(RMD) except for the DL18MT and
the EVX180B.

Compression Drivers
Electro-Voice is one of a handful of professional audio companies that can
design high-performance compression drivers. Compression drivers are the
most difficult audio transducers to design. Their unique requirements call
for ultra-precise tolerances, state-of-the-art modeling routines, and
exceptionally talented engineering expertise. Manufacturing techniques are
frequently pushed to process limits, and materials are formed and stabilized
with cutting-edge systems and controls. Each EV compression driver’s
parameters are tightly controlled to ensure world-class performance, thus
putting the drivers at the top of their class in every respect.

The HP horn series is a refinement of the concept of “constant directivity,
which, in 1974, EV was the first to introduce. For the first time, horn
coverage angles were truly uniform over a wide frequency range. In the HP
series, unique beamwidth-control vanes within the horn throat form a
waveguide that eliminates the narrowing of coverage angle – beaming –
that occurs in other 2-inch-throat horns. EV’s patented Transplanardesign
provides exceptionally smooth frequency response. HP horns or variants
thereof are used throughout the EV speaker system lines. Each HP horn
features an integral die-cast metal throat encapsulated in the fiberglass
sidewalls. This unitized construction provides very high strength and
low weight.

Contractor Precision Series (CPS) Amplifiers
The CPS Series are high-performance amplifiers with unmatched dynamic range capability, ensuring the
most reliable operation favored by sound contractors in all sound reinforcement applications.
The CPS Series achieves its outstanding dynamic range through the use of our unique nonlinear signal
monitor. This feature limits amplifier distortion to less than 1 percent, eliminating the “hard-edged”
clipping which can destroy most speaker systems. The amplifier’s power supply is specifically designed
to deliver high peak signals, proving a burst signal output capability headroom more than 30% over their
average continuous rating.

The modular P-Series guarantees the same quality and performance
standards as the linear P-Series but they are designed for dedicated EV
systems, e.g. QRx Series. They combine the highest quality signal control,
maximum speaker/operation safety and the extreme reliability of “linear”
Precision-Seriesbut all in a modular-controlled amplifier concept.
All this adds up to maximum flexibility and an economic alternative to
digitally controlled amp racks. Rear rack mount kits are available in a

These controller cards provide customized system
equalization, crossover design, and EV´s unique
voice-coil protection circuit (VCP) for use with EV
loudspeakers (modules for QRx speakers are
currently available). Cards for full-range systems
feature a switchable 3,000 Hz (Q = 1, -3 dB) DIP-
EQ and a flush-mounted operation mode switch.
Each module also includes a “1-in-2” switch on the
PCB board, allowing it to drive both channels of a
P1202 independently while using only one
controller card. Note that when a module is used,
the amplifier’s input sensitivity changes to 0 dBu.

AC One Analog Audio Controller
The AC One analog audio controller has been designed for use in high-
performance applications that employ small- to medium-size full-range
systems with subwoofers. Its excellent audio performance, dynamic
range of 117 dB, extremely low noise level, and outstanding price-
performance ratio make the AC One an advantageous alternative to
conventional crossover and controller solutions. It is possible to meet
the tough demands of modern audio applications – such as high sound
pressure level, coverage, and sound quality – only by using a biamped
loudspeaker system which can fully separate, amplify, and reproduce
the audio signal´s frequency ranges. The PowerMax 12 crossover
function brings the low-frequency performance of bigger systems to
compact systems. The AC One guarantees highly economical system
applications without loss of performance, and helps to save on
application space.
Inputs and outputs are active balanced. The inputs can be fitted with
optional high-quality input transformers (NRS 90208). The outputs
feature output relays which protect against unwanted noise in case of
power failure.
The new PowerMax 12 crossover function (patents pending) makes the best
possible use of amplifier output power and loudspeaker transmission
capacities. Compared to other regular crossover designs on the market,
PowerMax 12 delivers an extra 3 dB SPL at the crossover point, something
which cannot be achieved by normal equalization alone. In addition, speaker
overload and amplifier clipping are dramatically reduced. The PowerMax 12
crossover function silences the oft-heard complaint: “It needs more punch
and definition.” In addition, a 12-dB (Q: 1.0) lo-cut filter and a unique
3-band equalizer featuring the patented LPN filter allows for flexible, easy,
and quick system adjustments.

RACE Software
RACE is a professional audio tool to generate presets for speaker systems.
In addition to the clear display of all used filters, delay and level settings,
each output can be assigned with the acoustic data (phase and frequency
response) of the individual speaker component.
This pure speaker data has been measured in free space. RACE then
calculates the complex summation of all used filters, level and delay
settings applied to these components. Thus the display on the screen is not
only the electrical filter response but, for the first time, the actual true
acoustic response of the component. Any change of parameter values is
visible and audible in real time.
An additional tool is the SPL dispersion window for lower frequencies.
Presets can even be prepared off-line in advance and need only a little
tweaking once speakers are in place. RACE enables engineers to
seamlessly integrate room influence, speaker positioning and parameter
settings and a RACE Processed Preset is a guarantee for a solid, accurate
basis from which to begin system tuning. EV supplies these presets for all
current EV speaker systems, even if the needed combination is not part of
the 50-factory preset of the Dx38.

Software for Dx38
This example shows the acoustical response of Xi-1183/64 plus Xi-2181
(4-way) using the big Bode-Plot. Any change of parameters like level, filter
or delays is displayed immediately. Even very complex array settings can be
tuned simply and accurately.
Overall Frequency Response
The signal flow diagram provides a clear overview of all available
parameters. Immediately after the input metering there are five master
equalizers per input available. Each of these filters can be set as hi- or
lo-pass (6 dB/12 dB-Peaking), hi- or lo-shelf (6/12 dB) or as a fully
parametric eq. Each activated filter is signaled by a green LED symbol.
Each input, or the sum of both inputs, can be delayed separately up to
900ms with the master delay. The fully flexible routing allows each input as
well as the sum to be routed to any of the four outputs. Four filters per
output are available with same filter functions as the master eq. In addition,
an all-pass filter for phase corrections can be selected. The
crossover section provides a hi- and a lo-pass-filter per channel and an
output delay for alignment. The dynamics sections with independent
compressor and limiter can be used for speaker protection.
The output meter display works like the whole editor in real-time.
Level control and mute are available per channel.
All of these parameters on the Dx38 can easily be edited via the front
control panel without using a pc. Once you try RACE however, you may
never want to work without it!

Acoustical Response
In order to display the acoustical response of the complete system, the
acoustical data of each speaker component (phase and magnitude) is
assigned to the appropriate output. The data is measured in a free field.
All influences of filter functions, levels and delay settings are then
calculated. Thus RACE displays the acoustical response of a speaker
system including all parameters used on the Dx38, but without any
room influence – in real-time. This display is exclusive for EV speaker
systems and helps to determine how to optimize the use of all digital
parameter functions.
This example shows 4-way set-up with Xi-1183 (3-way) plus Xi-2181
(Sub). Clearly displayed are the filter functions of each output including
the master and channel eq settings. The resolution can be switched
between ±12 dB, ±24 dB, or ±48 dB. It’s also possible to change
between frequency or phase response. Outputs of non-relevant
speakers for this system can be removed from view. This example uses
all four outputs. This preset is slightly complex as it uses, in addition
to conventional x-overs, a wide overlap of Sub (Xi-2181) and Lo
(Xi-1183LF).

However, adding the acoustical data of the raw components and
amplifiers to this file, the display shows the real acoustical response
caused by the actual parameter settings. Any change of a parameter is
visible and audible immediately. The big advantage of this view is the
independence of any room influence.
RACE is an industry first and unique in that the software shows the true
frequency response of EV components in real-time as they behave in a
free field.

RE Series is the first choice of microphones for smooth and accurate
reproduction. Its unique and famous sound performance makes it a favorite
in the broadcast, studio and touring business. EV´s Variable-D®design used
in the RE20 and RE27 N/D broadcast studio products was developed to
ensure true and accurate response across all frequencies without the up-
close boominess associated with “proximity effect”. As a result, these
microphones have become the industry standard for radio studios
worldwide.

The RE90 series brings the famous sound performance of EV´s legendary RE
series to fixed installations. EV´s RE90 microphones are the most natural-
sounding microphones on the market for public speaking, etc. and as a
matter of course for professional theatrical productions. Ergonomically and
architecturally designed, EV has married functionality with aesthetics making
RE series the traditional favorite among sound contractors, architects and
sound engineers. RE90 microphones are designed for the highest-quality
applications with linear frequency response and excellent, high gain-before-
feedback. All microphones guarantee a uniform polar pattern across the
range, high sensitivity, low self-noise and provide a transformerless output
device. The high-quality pre-amps are highly-resistant to electrical noise and
radio frequency interference (RFI). RE90 L and RE90 H have a external pre-
amp housing into the XLR connector. Gooseneck microphones have an all
metal construction to substantially reduce noise from stray magnetic fields
and RFI.

Reduce the hassle and improve the results of your pre-concert
soundchecks with the Electro-Voice®RTM-1000 Remote Test Wireless
System. The RTM-1000 provides a wireless link between your calibrated
measurement microphone and audio analyzer. That means you can quickly
test multiple locations from the front row to the nosebleed seats in the time
it would take to haul long mic cables to just one spot.
Wireless link between test microphone and audio analyzer allows faster, easier
measurement of large performance spaces
Optional 48V phantom power supply works with any measurement microphone
Non-companded transmission does not affect audio quality
The key feature of the RTM-1000 is that it defeats the compander on both
the receiver and bodypack transmitter. Wireless mic systems normally use
companding (compressing/expanding) to stuff more dynamic range
through narrow wireless channels. But companding can also add
coloration or distortion to the signal. The RTM-1000 defeats the
compander circuit, leaving the signal from mic to analyzer unchanged.
The RTM-1000 system includes a bodypack transmitter in a rugged cast
magnesium case with a mic stand mounting strap and a TA4F-to-XLR
adapter cable to accommodate most calibrated microphones. The
RTM-1000 receiver includes two detachable 1/4-wave antennas, and can
be rack-mounted with optional hardware.

Cobalt®Handheld Transmitters
Cobalt handheld systems combine EV’s
classically styled, ergonomically contoured
transmitter with famous EV microphone
transducers. Separate on/off and mute
switches give you operational flexibility and
eliminate popping common in single switch
transmitters. The R100 and R200 systems
feature the Co7 dynamic and Co11
condenser microphones.
Cobalt®Bodypack Transmitters
Cobalt bodypacks have options to fit virtually
any wireless application. Each system
features an oversized switch for easy, silent
muting and a separate on/off switch. R100
systems offer hardwired lavaliere (lapel)
condenser microphones and a 1/4-inch
instrument plug. R100 headworn and all
R200 bodypacks come with TA4 connectors
to allow easy interchangeability of mics. There
is a collection of lavaliere and headworn
microphones for R200 systems to perfectly
meet any requirement.
Cobalt®Instrument Systems
Most wireless guitar systems are just a
microphone bodypack with a 1/4-inch
connector. The Cobalt instrument systems are
designed specifically to bring out the transient
detail and wide dynamics of a guitar. The
companding circuit provides wide dynamic
range and accurately captures the “plugged
in” essence of the instrument's sound.

Ring Mode Decoupling®(RMD®)
Electro-Voice pioneered Ring Mode Decoupling (RMD®) as a result of experience
gained through years of high-level concert system design. The acclaimed EV X-
Arraywas the “test bed” for RMD®research. Just as automotive companies use
Formula One racing to develop new technologies, Electro-Voice uses its work in the
concert sound and touring industries to develop new technologies. The goal of that
basic research is to bring those new technologies into all aspects of the sound
reinforcement industry.
All loudspeaker components display unwanted vibrational modes – or resonances –
that produce both frequency and time-domain distortions. A time-domain distortion
is most often described by loudspeaker users as a “ringing” in the system. This
ringing is usually most audible through the vocal fundamental range, and users
commonly attempt to “cure” the ringing mode through equalization. Unfortunately
such attempts remove not only the time-domain distortion, or ringing, but also parts
of the musical signal as well. The net result is that musical information is lost.
RMD®is a series of techniques developed by Electro-Voice engineers to deal with
the time-domain distortion at its source. The basic problem is mechanical in nature.
As a result, the only really effective solution is also mechanical. When acoustic
resonances are encountered, the only effective solution is an acoustic remedy.
The same applies to electrical resonances: The solution must be electrical.
RMD®treatment produces an acoustic signal that is much more free of mechanical
and acoustical ringing modes. The result is a level of fidelity – particularly through
the critical vocal range – that is more coherent and “in your face.” Another benefit
of RMD®technology is a much higher degree of level independence. Many front-of-
house engineers have noted that system equalization needs to change with system
output levels. The louder the system is driven, the more EQ changes become
necessary to maintain system voicing (that is, the system sounds different at higher
power levels). RMD®greatly minimizes the changes in system voicing that occur with
level changes. Systems with RMD®,therefore, display a high degree of level-
independent fidelity and a very audible improvement in vocal clarity as well.
Power handling ratings
Accurately specifying power handling ratings presents a challenge with odds
typically worse than those in a game of chance. Each manufacturer rates its
components in its own particular way. While responsible manufacturers
always qualify their testing methods, this offers little help to users not familiar
with the different test methods.
Electro-Voice has used an EIA-based rating for many years. It offers a
reasonably good combination of mechanical (excursion) and thermal (heat)
stress measurements. The ratings supplied with EV components are very
conservative, and require a full eight-hour test cycle to generate.
However, Electro-Voice does not limit its power testing to EIA methods. Long
term continuous musical testing of rated program limits is typically performed
for 200-hour durations. EV engineers also perform mixed-signal testing, a
combination of continuous noise (EIA- or AES-based shaped spectrum
signals) and low-frequency impulsive signals (such as kick drums). Mixed
signal tests often represent typical program material, and the resulting
measurements relate better to real-world conditions.
The most useful power handling rating is that of the program material
specification. This rating relates well to “in the field” situations for most
musical programs. It should always be remembered that no test method or
rating spec will universally describe every situation. Extreme power levels can
produce either mechanical or thermal failures with any manufacturer’s
components.
Manifold Technology®
In 1986, Electro-Voice revolutionized concert sound reinforcement by
introducing Manifold Technology®.In each of the four bandpasses covering
the entire frequency range, the output of four loudspeakers was flawlessly
combined – or “manifolded” – into a single horn (such as a large-format MH
horn) or low-frequency enclosure. The result was a physical package, a
fraction of the size of conventional concert rigs but with four times the
acoustic output. This eliminated the drastically uneven coverage that occurs
when multiple acoustic sources are stacked to gain more output. Manifold
Technology®came into its own particularly in smaller-sized locations or
installations, where low-frequency output was limited by the space available.

Speaker Technologies
Dipole and TripoleTechnology
(2- or 3-element line array)
Tripole configuration of the dual-woofer three-way systems of Xi-Series™ provides
the best directivity improvement, achieved by the vertically spaced low-frequency
sources which flank the mid-bass horn operating alone at low frequencies and by
appropriately overlapping the LF and MB sources in the mid bass, e.g., 125 to 540
Hz. The single-woofer three-way systems may be dipole configured, achieved by
overlapping the (single) woofer and mid-bass source in the appropriate frequency
ranges. This physical orientation of three sources, together with appropriate
amplitude shading and filter combinations, produces vertical directivity control to
below 125 Hz.
The resulting interferences of normal overlapped speakers are completely
minimized. The sonic advantages of this combination are significant. Precisely
controlled radiation patterns at low frequencies prevent reverberant energy in the
125- to 600-Hz range from degrading vocal fundamentals. The pattern control
achieved by this three-source, single-enclosure “array” prevents the critical distance
from moving “forward” (toward the source) as wavelengths become significant in
size with respect to the radiation device, and pattern control is lost. This is the case
with conventional system designs. The other primary advantage is that down to 125
Hz, acoustic output under the enclosure is a full 12 dB or more below on-axis levels.
This results in greatly improved gain-before-feedback levels on stage especially in
theaters where lavaliere microphones are traditionally used under center speakers.
In conventional systems where “under enclosure” levels are comparable to on-axis
levels, system intelligibility is even compromised at the source (microphone) because
of poor loudspeaker directivity control and subsequent “spill over”.
Vari Intense®
EV´s unique Vari Intense®(VI) technology has a lot of advantages in most applications
of “typical sized” rooms. Vari Intense®provides a rectangular coverage pattern. The
unique, patented throat and flare structure of the VI horn delivers a 6 to 10 dB hotter
signal to the rear of the room. The resulting even front-to-back SPL eliminates ear-
strain at the back of the sitting area and painful ears at the front. One VI horn
replaces two standard systems that reduce costs and eliminates destructive
interference which occurs between long and short throw horns or multi-sourced
horizontal arrays. The downward aimed horn delivers sound only to the floor plan
where the audience is and provides uniform direct-field SPL and significantly
reduces the amount of sound reverberating off the ceiling. This provides an increase
in mid- to high-frequency intelligibility of 6 dB in most applications.
To plan with Vari Intense®systems is very easy. The height of the room defines the
size of the floor plan covered with one speaker. The area covered would be a width
coverage of two times the height of the ceiling and depth, or throw, three times the
height of the ceiling. Therefore a Vari Intense®speaker mounted centrally, parallel to
the floor, at a height of 3 meters, would cover a room with equal SPL, 6 meters wide
by 9 meters long. Aiming the speaker down by 15 degrees at the same 3 meter
height will produce an even floor plan SPL that is 3 meters wide by 6 meters long
and tilting it back by 15 degrees, at the same height, produces a floor plan SPL of
6 meters wide by 15 meters long. Normally the loudspeaker is mounted
approximately 0.6 to 0.8 times the height back from the first row and has a nominal
angle of the top of the enclosure parallel to the floor or slightly (2 to 3 degrees)
tilted back.

This graph should help you to get a feeling of coverage angles, loss in SPL and covered areas.
The following questions can be answered:
1. Question:“What coverage angle is needed to cover a width of X meters by the maximum possible distance to the audience
of Y meters?” Helpful when the install position of the speakers and the area to cover are predetermined.
Solution:Possible distance to the audience is a maximum of 12 meters. Covered width should be approx.
36 meters (2 x 18 meters). A system that provides 120 degrees coverage is needed.
2. Question:“Which system is needed when the distance to the audience and the target SPL is known?”
Helpful when the install position of the speakers is known and a pre-defined SPL is required.
Solution:Inverse square law of a point source (-6 dB when doubling the distance) helps to define the loss in SPL at a distance
of X meters. The pre-determined SPL at listening level (the audience) should be 100 dB. Distance to the speaker is approx. 50
meters (i.e. open-air, arena etc). The loss in SPL after 50 meters is approx. 33 dB, therefore the system has to provide a
continuous SPL of 133 dB/1 m.
3. Question:At what distance is a (i.e.) 75 meters width reached, using different loudspeakers with different coverage angles?
Solution:A 120 degrees system provides a covered width of 75 meters after approx. 22 meters. A 40 degree system provides
same width after approx. 100 meters.
4. Furthermore (based on point 3): “What´s the loss of SPL in both cases?”
Solution:Approx. 25 dB for the 120 degrees and approx. 40 dB for the 40 degrees system. To achieve a pre-determined SPL of
105 dB, when an area of 75 meters needs to be covered, the 120 degrees system has to deliver > 130 dB and the 40 degrees
system > 145 dB. In explanation: A job for MH 4020 which provides 146 dB maximum.

Microphone Technologies
In 1934, Electro-Voice invented the hum-bucking coil for microphones, still an
industry standard almost 70 years later. The invention was the beginning of EV’s
success in building microphones, but not the end. Electro-Voice continues to set
new standards for microphone design today. Electro-Voice was the first
manufacturer to use neodymium-based magnet structures (N/DYM®) in its
microphones, thus achieving higher output and condenser-like qualities such as
crystal clarity and reliable performance. Electro-Voice’s goals in developing
microphone technologies have always been the same: providing highest sound
quality, achieving better and more comfortable handling for the user, and
continuing the company’s tradition of legendary reliability and warranty support.
Its long list of patents attests to its success in meeting these goals.
Variable-D®
Normal microphones generate increased bottom end when used close up. This is
typically called the “proximity effect.” While some lead vocalists like this effect and
use it to enhance their performance, it is attainable only in closeup situations.
When the distance between the microphone and the source is extended, the
sound quality changes dramatically. Electro-Voice’s patented Variable-D®
eliminates this disadvantage. On the rear side of the diaphragm there is a
perforated pipe (interference duct) with precise sonic slots at set distances. The
duct provides maximum damping which is completely uncolored and undistorted
at 180-degree off-axis, ensuring the same frequency response as if the source
was nearly on-axis.
Variable-D®designed microphones can be used very close to other sound sources
with no loss in clarity or definition. This makes them the preferred choice for tight
vocals and challenging instruments such as brass. Variable-D®microphones like
the RE20 and RE27 are favorites with broadcast show hosts, vocal booths, voice-
over studios, and professional touring or rental companies.
VOB
Electro-Voice’s unique VOB™ technology (Vocal-Optimized Bass) reduces low-
frequency distortion in the microphone’s output. Critical damping of the low-
frequency resonant peak results in a microphone that replaces the “muddiness”
found in competitive models with greater warmth and increased vocal intelligibility.
With a wider range of working distances than other microphones, this intelligibility
ensures a clean, clear, consistent sound that “cuts through the mix.” VOB™
counteracts proximity effect, sibilance, and P-popping, thus assuring maximum
vocal intelligibility and musical clarity.
