Latin America. Electro-Voice introduced the next generation of its successful EVID ceiling speaker series, which features two new series, both designed from the ground up: the standard EVID-C-G2 series includes seven models and replaces the existing C series. The addition of five basic EVID-EC (Entry Roof) models further expands the previous product line.
Together, the 12 new models offer combinable price/performance options that can be selected to precisely address the distributed audio requirements of different areas of a facility.
Configurations range from full-range 3" models to 8" two-way and subwoofer models, and include dedicated models for specific applications, such as low profile, high ceiling/high performance, UL 1480, CSA/ULC-S541:2016, and EN54-24 EVAC certified models. The basic 3" model (EVID-EC3.1) is suitable for high humidity spaces and is IP45 rated. All C-G2 and EC models are UL 1480A and UL 2043 certified.
Aesthetically and acoustically compatible with existing EVID ceiling speakers, the new models are designed to deliver an advanced combination of best-in-class sound quality, refined styling, and easy-to-use features that reaffirm the EVID family's reputation for performance and rock-solid reliability. Whether used for background music or advertisements, there is a combination of EVID ceiling speakers to suit every space and application scenario – an ideal solution for elevating the audio ambience and speech intelligibility in hotel establishments, entertainment venues, educational facilities, places of worship and retail. spaces, business venues and more.
Simple, fast and safe installation
As with all EVID models, the new C and EC Series models are designed with the integrator in mind, with multiple time-saving features that will add value to every project. The new SwiftLock system (C-G2 models only) supports fast, accurate and secure attachment to the ceiling with a simple push-and-lock mechanism for hassle-free installation or replacement. Easy-to-access front deflector power outlets and side-access terminal blocks make it easier than ever to adjust and connect. All models are 70/100V.
The C-G2 and EC models feature the same three cut sizes and outside diameter as the previous-generation C-Series models: Small/7", Medium/11" and Large/13". In addition to ensuring a more balanced appearance, this standardized size makes it easier to install multiple models and/or retrofits, as the same cut-out holes can be used/reused.
All models include easy-to-place bezel-less magnetic grilles in a white finish that can be painted. This means that only the grilles need to be painted, which saves time when choosing or matching a venue's color scheme. Black finish grids are available as an accessory for all sizes and square grids are available in white for the medium/11" size, adding greater flexibility to complement any architectural environment. All models have protective fabric under the grille (loss <1 dB).
All models benefit from Electro-Voice's patented SST (Synchronized Signal Transducers) technology, a patented approach to time-aligning low- and high-frequency transducers that allows a larger waveguide to fit within a more compact, shallow enclosure, resulting in improved acoustics. Performance and pattern control for exceptional full-range intelligibility. Together with the side access connector/cover plate, this minimized depth factor allows each speaker to fit into a tighter space and avoid ducting, ducting, and wiring, without compromising sound quality.
