Electro Voice Evi15WH 15In 2 -Way Vari-Intense Speaker

The Electro-Voice EVI-15 full-range loudspeaker is a factory assembled system featuring a small-format Vari Intense horn and a 15-inch direct radiator in a vented enclosure. The EVI-15 is intended to be used as a standalone full-range system, but may also be used as the mid-bass high-frequency component in most multi-way loudspeaker systems. The EVI-15 consists of a proprietary castframe 381-mm 15-inch high-power, longexcursion low-frequency driver mounted within a vented chamber of 3.4 cubic feet, optimally tuned to provide unequalized lowfrequency response to below 50 Hz. The high-frequency complement consists of a 25.4-mm 1.0-in. exit compression driver utilizing a new small-format Vari Intense horn. Vari Intense is a revolutionary patented 6 technology that throws a 6-to 10-dB hotter signal to the back of the room. This compensates for the drop in SPL over the longer distance to the back of the room 25 feet for the short throw and about 70 feet for the long throw in a typical room. This single horn replaces a short-throw long throw horn combination, reducing the material and labor costs of an installation. Electrical connections to the system are made by large screw terminals able to accept up to 12-gauge wire, mounted to an input panel on the back of the enclosure. The system is provided with a 2,000-Hz passive crossover featuring self-setting tweeter protection and asymetric acoustic slopes with passive lobe steering for uniform coverage throughout the crossover region. The enclosure is constructed from 19-mm 0.75-in. thick, thoroughly braced 7-ply birch plywood lined with soundabsorbent glass wool. Five 38-16 shoulderbolt hanging points are provided for safe suspension of the EVI-15.
