CHAPTER 1

Introduction

WARNING:

Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a 
thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects overhead. Electro-Voice 
strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state, 
and local laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely 
installed in accordance with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice 
strongly recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations require. If any 
sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately. The user is 
responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling or structure is capable of supporting all objects suspended 
overhead. any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker not associated with Electro-Voice is the 
responsibility of others. 

Introduction

The Electro-Voice EVU series is a compact high power 2-way loudspeaker system used in a variety of applications where 
high-quality sound reinforcement is required in an ultra compact light-weight enclosure. The enclosure design utilizes 
asymmetrical angles to maintain tight clearances to wall and ceilings while providing optimal coverage patterns making it 
ideal to blend into surroundings. 

This design is optimized for wall, stage lip and under balcony applications. The EVU series incorporates the 

ICT

 (Install 

Compact Transducer), a high-output 1.3-inch titanium compression driver coupled to a Constant Directivity* 90 x 50 rotatable 
waveguide. The EVU woofers are developed using 

FEA

 (Finite Element Analysis) optimization to provide the highest 

sensitivity while achieving the highest level of speech intelligibility. 

The crossover designs uses 18dBper octave slopes with equalization for very smooth response in the vocal range, linear 
off-axis response and a protection circuit for long term reliability. The EVU line is constructed of multi-ply hardwood plywood 
enclosure with six (6) integral M8 suspension points to support a wide variety of mounting positions. 

The EVU system is finished in textured paint available in either white or black. Each EVU system includes a universal 
U-Bracket to facilitate mounting. The U-Bracket provides for a 330° unobstructed, translation of the loudspeaker. Additional 
mounting points are located on the back of the enclosure for use with an Omnimount* type bracket, available from 
Omnimount Inc. An available 60W transformer kit is easily mounted over the input panel for use in distributed systems.
