Description
The EVID 4.2 is a very compact full range loudspeaker ideal for indoor and outdoor applications requiring high-quality sound. It’s shape and size make it nearly invisible for use in background/foreground music systems for restaurants, bars, patios, retail, and other applications.
The 4.2’s three-dimensional elliptic baffle symmetrically locates the 1” Ti high frequency element with a Coherent Coverage Waveguide in front of, and between the 4” low frequency drivers. This careful shaping, location, and 10° splaying of the lf units provides coverage control by the resulting line array. Lobing is controlled by physically “shadowing” the lf transducers from each other over the bandwidth they would normally exhibit interference. EVID’s mounting system provides greater range of aiming angles in both horizontal and vertical planes than other types. The curved grille features designed-in weather resistance and a hidden leash for safety.
All models are available in black or white, and can easily be painted to match the décor. Transformer versions are also available for constant voltage systems.
ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERING SPECS
The loudspeaker shall be a two-way system consisting of two 4” (102mm) low-frequency transducers, 1” (25mm) high-frequency transducer with a Coherent Coverage Waveguide, and frequency-dividing network installed in a vented, line array enclosure. The network shall include a passive limiter for both the low frequency and high frequency transducers. The loudspeaker system shall meet the following performance criteria: Power handling, 200 watts of EIA RS-426A continuous pink noise (6 dB crest factor); Frequency response, 65 Hz – 20 kHz (-10 dB from rated sensitivity); Pressure sensitivity, 89 dB at one watt, 200 Hz – 10 kHz at one meter; Impedance, 8 ohms nominal, 6 ohms minimum. The high frequency transducer shall drive a waveguide to evenly cover 120° horizontally by 80° vertically. The enclosure shall be molded of acrylic butyl styrene. The enclosure shall be 12.2” (310mm) high, 6.9” (175mm) wide, 8.5” (216mm) deep. The finish shall be a paintable black or white. The grille shall be zinc plated, powder coated for corrosion resistance, and restrained with a safety leash. The loudspeaker shall be adjustable over a range of 100° horizontally and 90° vertically. The support bracket shall be low profile and integral with the enclosure. The system shall be weather resistant to MIL Spec 810 and IEC 529 IP 34 test conditions. The surface mount loudspeaker shall be the Electro-Voice® EVID model 4.2.
