1986EV 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.

1990sEV invents RMD technology (Ring-Mode Decoupling), a revolutionary anodyne to sonic distortion and coloration. Speaker system resolution and clarity increases by minimizing fundamental resonant frequencies.

2000EV 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.

2001/2002EV introduces RACE technology (Realtime Acoustic Cluster Editor), a synergetic concept of correlating digital crossover and filter design with real world loudspeaker behavior.

2004-2007 - IRIS-Net becomes the new software platform for control and supervision of signal processors, amplifiers, loudspeakers and complex audio systems. The networkable DSP audio matrix NetMax N8000 opens new horizons for audio processing. Being fully scalable, it can solve the challenges of flexible standalone applications as well as very complex networked systems.

EVI Vari Intense

Electro-Voices unique EVI Vari Intense (VI) speakers are engineered to eliminate the need for 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; EVs 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 patterns width will equal twice the height of the room, and the patterns 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

FRX+ & FRX+PI-Systems

FRX+ Series loudspeakers are designed for applications in critical reverberant spaces where excellent directivity control is mandatory. Typical small-sized speaker systems are not able to maintain their rated coverage angles below 2000 Hz. Their wide beamwidth in the low midband is accompanied by serious degradation of speech intelligibility and clarity of music signals in such hostile environments. EVs FRX+ systems are troubleshooters concerning these problems, providing excellent wideband directivity control. The all-horn-loaded, coaxial design comes up with sufficient radiation surface to enable narrow coverage angles down to 250 Hz at moderate cabinet sizes. FRX+ cabinets are texture-painted, 7-ply plywood with powder-coated steel grille backed with foam. For outdoor purposes, FRX+ PI models are equipped with weatherized woofers, powder-coated stainless-steel grilles backed with multilayer foam and covered glandnut input panels.

MH-Series Stadium Horns

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). Largeformat MH horns incorporate both in several horn/ driver systems. Medium-format MH horns are excellent for short/medium throw applications or as infills for largeformat MH-horns.

PLASMA P1 & P2
PLASMA P1 Plasma P1s compact, ergonomically designed enclosure houses an EVX155RMD, Kevlarreinforced 15 LF transducer driven by a 4 voicecoil for well-defined transients and articulate vocals at all SPLs. The EV ND-6 neodymium HF compression driver with a 3 voicecoil coupled to an EV 80 x 55 horn provides extended HF response with very low distortion. A two-channel class-H amplifier provides a total of 700 watts of power but requires NO fan, permitting quiet operation, low maintenance, and long-term reliability. Coupled with signal processing for linear acoustic response, Plasma P1 delivers dynamic linearity to very high SPLs. Equipped with three L-track attachment points, Plasma can also be used with its proprietary PSA-V
(Plasma Strong-Arm-Mount-Vertical) mounting system for easy flying and precise aiming. The multi-angle enclosure is available in left and right versions, thus allowing a 55 monitor angle onstage and mirror-image monitoring.

PLASMA P2 Plasma P2 represents a new generation of high-powered compact subwoofers. Designed to extend the very low frequency response of Plasma P1, it uses a class H-design amplifier driving an EVX180B 18 woofer. The patented LPN (Low-Pass-Notch) filter compensates for transient distortion in dynamic signals (such as kickdrums) to achieve a higher acoustic output and more punch than expected from such a compact enclosure.

Xi-Series
Xi-Series brings premium touring-quality sound into installation. Inspired by the features of EVs acclaimed X-Array touring systems, the Xi-Series incorporates a potent combination of very-high-output and ultra-linear short-, medium- and long-throw systems, in two-way, threeway and four-way configurations. Xi-Series incorporates the acoustical advantage of EVs unique Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD) and features HP horns to secure excellent directivity control and even coverage. A unique feature of the three-way systems is Vertical Beam Shaping (VBS). The three-way systems may be in 2-element or 3-element configuration to extend the vertical coverageangle control to as low as 125 Hz, well below that permitted by the mid-bass horn alone (which typically has a band frequency of 800 Hz): Unprecedented performance in a onebox system! To achieve sound performance without compromises, XiSeries is designed for multi-way active operation, except Xi-1082 which contains a passive crossover network.

X-Array
X-Array speaker systems provide world-class performance and flexibility for the ultimate in concert touring systems. It incorporates unique one-man rigging and neodymium magnets for very large arrays. The X-Array X-Series represents important advancements in concert-sound reinforcement technology. Design goals called for the highest acoustic output capability with the highest fidelity in 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 easier handling, special speaker dollies are available. RMD X-Arrays design process also resulted in the development of EVs most ingenious acoustic technologies, RMD. RMD gives X-Array unprecedented acoustic output and excellent directivity control.EVs traditional top-down development strategy ensured the incorporation of this essential acoustic advantage into other EV products. Rigging for Large Arrays: unique rear-hinge system 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 flying manual and structural ratings handbook is available. The X-Array one-person rigging hardware has earned German TV approval. 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 ND6-16 compression driver increases output in the upper octaves. The ND6-16 driver features a 3 titanium diaphragm. Amping and Controller: X-Array is powered by EVs worldfamous Precision Series amplifiers and controlled by Klark Teknik DN9848 digital 4-in/8-out controller, DSP controlled Precision Series amplifiers, or the Electro-Voice Dx38 for flexible and easy configurations. X-Array is constructed from 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 new EV X-Line system was driven by the need for a high-level concert touring enclosure that combines the sonic impact and vocal intelligibility of the renowned X-Array system 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 degrees) from a single vertical line array while providing exceptionally coherent wavefront summing in the vertical plane. At the heart of X-Line is a proprietary 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-Lines 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, thus enabling the systems 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 cant adapt. X-Line is different. X-Line combines the power and vocal clarity of the X-Array with a versatile, fully configurable linear array design, plus the efficiency of oneperson rigging. 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. 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 and is finished with a rugged foambacked steel grille to protect the drivers. A user guide with detailed specifications is available on request. Electro-Voice recommends using the Klark Teknik DN9848 or EVs Dx38 as the system controller, along with EV P3000 power amplifiers. P3000RL or TourGrade DSP-controlled amplifiers provide the ultimate solution in control throught IRIS-Net.

The XLC SYSTEM

While the flagship X-Line meets the acoustical needs of the largest venues and arenas, EVs compact line-array, XLC, was designed to match the demands for easy setup and transportation combined with outstanding sonic results in a large variety of venue sizes.

SYSTEM FEATuRES:
Wide, constant horizontal coverage pattern of 120 Four-way system; bi- or tri-ampable fullrange cabinets Rigging hardware totally integrated into cabinets Front rigging/rear aiming concept enables precise control of vertical line source pattern

XLC 127DVX / XLCi 127DVX Main Cabinet

This cabinet is the main component in a XLC line array. Starting with a minimum of four cabinets, a reasonable array size uses six to eight boxes, up to a maximum of 16 for larger arenas. The three-way axis-asymmetric design includes a single EV DL-12 low-frequency/mid-bass woofer optimized for this cabinet. Two 6.5 DVN2065 horn-loaded drivers in a vertical array cover the mid-frequency bandpass. The XLC127DVX utilizes two ND6 (3 voice-coil) neodymium compression drivers loaded on two Hydra plane wave generators. With a horizontal coverage of 120, the XLC system accurately covers wide areas while maintaining excellent imaging and lobe-free coverage. This cabinet is also available with dedicated rigging for fixed installations as XLCi 127DVX.

XLC 118 / XLCi 118 XLC 215 / XLCi 215 Subwoofer

If subwoofers shall be integrated in the array, or flown separately, XLC offers two options. The XLC118 is a direct radiating 18 sub using the EVX180B woofer. The XLC215 has the exact same dimensions, but utilizes two of EVs latest15-inch DVXwoofers, the DVX3150. Flying subwoofers benefits in a more even front-to- back SPL distribution. Both cabinets are also available as i-versions for installations.

XLine Very Compact

Designed for most demanding audio applications that require the most compact format, X-Line Very Compact offers a unrivaled combination of output capability, sonic performance and size. Combined with the large amount of accessories like coupler-grids, ground-stack kit and even adapter grid to the bigger XLC, XLVC is a preferred choice for concert applications as well as installations. While expectations of audio performance in terms of SPL, natural response and uniform coverage have expanded, demand for smaller and lighter sound systems has increased. X-Line Very compact offers the best of both worlds: XLD systems are capable of producing concert SPL levels on full bandwidth in small to medium sized venues. Smaller XLE-systems are ideal for critical audio requirements where overall cluster size is highest priority.

X-Line Very Compact

Two options of size and performance: XLD or XLE Two ND2HF drivers for maximum output & headroom Unrivaled even front-to-back and side-to-side coverage Easy to set-up, transport and operate Complete system including DSP, amplification, and rigging

XLine Very Compact

EVs Hydra used in X-Line and XLC has an overall height of 7-inches (17.5cm). In order to maintain the extraordinary HF response, a new 4-inch (10cm) Hydra was developed to match the DVN2080 8-inch woofer. Each of the two Hydras is driven by the new ND2S, a 2 neodymium compression driver. A single waveguide is fed with the plane wave from the hydras resulting in wide bandwidth, even horizontal coverage, and predictable vertical coverage.

Subwoofers
Subwoofers offer a variety of low-frequency solutions for general fixed installation or additional LF supplementation in existing installations. Low-frequency systems have f3s (the point at which response is -3 dB down) as low as 40 Hz. In general, response below 40 Hz is required for theatrical effects, full reproduction of pipe organs, and some special effects in contemporary music such as synthesizers and down-tuned bass guitars. The TL 880D is especially suited for this special type of application. Note: TL subwoofers have unprotected fronts and woofers, and should be used in inaccessible areas only.

Underwater loudspeaker
The UW 30 represents a departure from conventional designs of underwater sound sources. Its unique, patented design uses the cases 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 highfidelity 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 enviroments. 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.

Components
Woofers
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 aluminium 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 ultraprecise 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 drivers parameters are tightly controlled to ensure world-class performance, thus putting the drivers at the top of their class in every respect.

HP Horns
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. EVs patented Transplanar design 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.

RACE Software
RACE
Software for Dx38
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 is supplying these presets for all current EV speaker systems, even if the needed combination is not part of the 50-factory preset of the Dx38.

Signal Flow Diagram 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 (6dB/12dB-Peaking), hi- or lo-shelf (6/12dB) 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 x-over 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 realtime.

AC One Analog Controller

AC One Analog Audio Controller
The AC One analog audio controller has been designed to be used 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 signals 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 PowerMax 12 Advantage and its Unique EQ Section

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 EQing 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.

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-Array was the test bed for RMD research. Just as automotive companies use Formula 1 racing to develop new technologies, Electro-Voice uses its work in the concert sound and touring industries to do the same. 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.

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 manufacturers components.

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 freer 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.

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 smallersized locations or installations, where low-frequency output was limited by the space available.

Vertical Beam Shaping
(2- or 3-element line array)
Verticl Beam Shaping (VBS) is a frequency overlap configuration of the dual-woofer three-way systems of Xi-Series. It provides the best directivity improvement, achieved by the vertically spaced lowfrequency 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 configured for VBS, 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 comibinations, produces vertical directivity control to below 125 Hz. The resulting interferences of normal overlapped speakers are completely minimised. 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 theatres where lavalier microphones are traditionally used under centre 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
EVs 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 ear pain 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 Intese 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.

Speaker, Distances and Horns

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 (-6dB 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/1m. 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): Whats 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. 5. And others

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 EVs 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-Voices 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 companys tradition of legendary reliability and warranty support. Its long list of patents attests to its success in meeting these goals.

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-Voices 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 uncoloured 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.

Variable-D

Electro-Voices unique VOB technology (Vocal-Optimized Bass) reduces low-frequency distortion in the microphones 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.
