LOUDSPEAKERS CONCERT

X-Line is a concert sound loudspeaker system that combines high-level sonic impact and vocal intelligibility with the uniform, predictable coverage that only a line array can deliver. The X-Line system provides wide horizontal dispersion from a single vertical line array with exceptionally coherent wave-front summation in the vertical plane. Extended low-frequency polar control produces more uniform power response, further enhancing overall intelligibility.

The two full-range boxes in the line are three-way systems that incorporate the Electro-Voice Hydra timesynchronized, high-frequency plane wave generator to provide excellent summing in the far field. They also employ Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD) to provide level-independent fidelity, greater mid-bass clarity and high-frequency accuracy. All models in the line share the same footprint and are connected by proprietary rigging that facilitates rapid venue load-in and load-out.

LOUDSPEAKERS CONCERT INSTALL

EVF is the most comprehensive standard line of frontloaded loudspeaker systems ever offered for installed sound. Available in 12" or 15" two-way configurations and enhanced with dedicated low-frequency systems, EVF loudspeakers match exceptional audio performance, efficiency, ease-of-use and aesthetics with unprecedented value. EVF systems incorporate the latest Electro-Voice components to ensure years of reliability and exceptional sound. "S" designated systems are equipped with SMX series symmetric drive woofers and ND2B 2" titanium compression drivers; upgraded "D" high definition systems are equipped with our highest performance DVX series symmetric drive woofers and the DH7N 3" pure titanium compression driver.

EVF two-way full-range systems are offered in seven coverage patterns that provide solutions for the widest possible range of installation challenges. The 12" Constant Directivity waveguides can be rotated to work with a vertical or horizontal orientation. Biamp operation is supported, but the sophisticated fourth-order crossover and protection network makes cost-saving, passive operation extremely attractive. Using optional rigging accessories, you can create attractive clusters that include EVF full-range systems, as well as EVF subwoofers or EVH full-range systems. Cabinets are available in three finishes: EVCoat (interior use), PI (indirect weather exposure) or FG (fiberglass—for direct weather exposure); they include twenty-two M10 threaded suspension points.

Delivering high performance in an ultra-compact package, the S-40 is ideal for both distributed and near-field applications requiring high-quality sound. The two-way short-throw system is housed in an optimally vented, high-impact polystyrene enclosure that is suited for installation both indoors and out. Lows are handled by a 5.25" direct-radiating woofer with a polypropylene cone, while the high-frequency section is a

1" direct-radiating soft-dome tweeter that is ferrofluid cooled. Built-in automatic power limiting independently protects each driver from unsafe transients. With mounting options that are flexible enough for virtually any application, the S series is perfect for anything from background and foreground music in restaurants and clubs to near-field monitoring in control rooms and broadcast studios.

• Ideal for both distributed and near-field applications • Designed for indoor and outdoor use • Direct-radiating polypropylene-cone woofer • 1" ferrofluid-cooled soft-dome tweeter • High power-handling, ultra-linear frequency response

• Vented trapezoidal enclosure of high-impact polystyrene • Passive crossover with power protection for both woofer and tweeter • OmniMount®-compatible 0.25" suspension points (2)

Dual 8" two-way full-range loudspeaker This speaker remains one of our most popular choices for speech reinforcement, for underbalcony and on-wall locations in permanent installations, and as a high-quality monitor system.

Contractor Precision Series amplifiers combine top-quality performance and reliability with innovative designs perfectly tailored to the needs of professional sound installation. Available in 2RU configurations of up to eight channels, CPS amps are compact and efficient to operate, with every detail thought through from the contractor's point of view. For fast installation and setup, each model features Phoenix-type input and output connectors, programmable power-on delay, remote power-on/off, rear-mounted attenuators and switchable high-pass filters.

Unique Flexibility Through VLD The ability to switch individually the mode of each power amp channel helps the DSA multi-channel power amplifiers to achieve a degree of flexibility never before possible. In low impedance operation (2 Ω, 4 Ω, 8 Ω), each channel can drive up to four 8 Ω loudspeaker cabinets. The output channels can also be paired in bridged mode. Depending upon the application, each channel can be switched individually even in high-impedance (Hi-Z) mode in order to drive 70 Vrms or 100 Vrms loudspeaker lines directly without an output transformer (Direct Drive). The power output by the DSA multi-channel power amplifiers is (along with its thermal capacity) limited only by their maximum output voltage and maximum output current, which means they can drive any load between 2 and 10 Ω with their rated maximum outputs of 500 W and 1000 W respectively per channel.

CPS 2.4

For worry-free dependability, there's full protection against hazards, such as excessive heat, overloads, shorts, HF, DC, back EMF and inrush current. And for the ultimate in system control and supervision, the optional RCM-810 module enables the inclusion of CPS amps in IRIS-Net networks of up to 250 devices. Offering exceptional ease, flexibility and audio performance, CPS series is the ideal installation solution for cinema, club sound, commercial sound/life safety, and performance and sports venues.

A corresponding encoder-circuit is provided on the rear panel. In addition, through VLD (Variable Load Drive) in combination with a RCM-810 remote control module, it is possible to define freely which output power should be made available at which load in the frame described above in the channel in question: e.g. Channel A = 350 W into 2.6 Ω; Channel B = 500 W into 8 Ω, etc.

PRO SOUND Wired & Wireless Microphones

Born and bred in the American heartland, Electro-Voice lays claim to over 85 years of unmatched innovation in microphone design and manufacturing. Back in 1927, company founders Al Kahn and Lou Burroughs started out as true pioneers, establishing the industry standard for audio engineering excellence and reliability while continuously upping the ante with breakthrough technologies, such as the humbucking coil for noise cancellation, Variable-D™ for proximity control and VOB™ for reduced resonant distortion at low frequencies. Eight decades on, Electro-Voice microphones continue to deliver the sound of history’s most significant events. We’ve helped the world hear everything from the very first radio broadcasts to John Glenn’s first orbit of the Earth; from Elvis and the Beatles to the largest world tours with today’s biggest artists; from Knut Rockne using his “Electric Voice” at Notre Dame to the state-of-the-art wireless microphone systems at top sporting events; from Presidential inaugurations to tonight’s evening news; from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech to the Next Big Thing rehearsing in the garage next door… Staying true to its roots as a great American brand, Electro-Voice continues to reach new heights in the 21st century. We were the first to advance microphone technology with N/Dym™ neodymium magnetic structures, and the first to bring fast, automatic channel-coordination to wireless microphones with ClearScan™. But that’s just the beginning— our engineers are constantly working on new ways to capture the full richness and nuance of your tone. Whether you’re outfitting a world tour, a house of worship, a professional studio or a school auditorium, Electro-Voice microphones offer great sound, durability, ergonomics and style. From time-tested classics to our latest innovations, every product is built to withstand both the rigors of performance and the scrutiny of your listeners.

WIRED

In 1934, just six years into its existence as a pioneer in electro-acoustical solutions, Electro-Voice invented the humbucking coil for microphones – still an industry standard almost 80 years later. This invention marked the start of EV’s success in building microphones, and the company continued to drive audio technology ahead, rising to the challenges of rapidly changing times.

LIVE BROADCAST INSTALLATION

During World War II, EV worked with the U.S. Military on the development of the T-45 noise-canceling microphone, a helmet-attached device that raised the success rate of combat communications from 20% to 90%, saving many lives in the process. With reliability and performance proven in the most critical environments, EV microphones later accompanied U.S. astronauts on the earliest space missions and many thereafter. At the same time, EV mics continued to perform at the highest level on live stages around the world during the heyday of Jazz and the birth of Rock‘n’Roll.

EV continues to add to this long list of historic achievements in audio, setting new standards for the microphone designs of today. We were the first manufacturer to use neodymiumbased magnet structures (N/Dym) in microphones, thus achieving higher output and condenser-like qualities, such as substantially faster transient response, crystal clarity and reliable performance. Our goals in developing microphone technologies have always been the same: providing the highest sound quality, achieving better and more comfortable handling for the user, and extending our tradition of legendary reliability and support. A host of patented technologies attest to EV’s success in meeting these goals, including both Variable-D™ and VOB™.

Variable-D™

GENERAL

A fundamental principal of acoustical behavior is that the volume and perceived frequency content of a sound is influenced by the distance between the source and the point of perception. When near to the source, a listener will hear a sound’s full low-frequencies, defined midrange and articulate high end. But as distance increases, low-frequency content will fall off dramatically, with a corresponding “thinning-out” of the overall sound. Because microphones serve as the point of perception at the front-end of the audio signal chain, this phenomenon greatly influences how microphones are used and perform. Normal directional microphones (cardioid, supercardioid and hypercardioid) generate increased bottom-end when used close-up. This is typically called the “proximity effect.” While some vocalists like this effect and use it to enhance their performance, it is attainable only in close-up situations where the microphone capsule is within a couple of inches of the performer’s mouth. When the distance between the microphone and the source is extended, the sound quality changes dramatically, losing a substantial amount of the low-frequency content— thus changing the tone of the performance drastically. Electro-Voice’s 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 that is completely uncolored and undistorted at 180° off-axis, ensuring the same frequency response as if the source was nearly on-axis. This characteristic is particularly beneficial when the performer (announcer, vocalist or instrumentalist) moves around while addressing the microphone. And this same attribute is why radio announcers and DJs have chosen Electro-Voice Variable-D™ microphones for decades. An added benefit of the Variable-D™ technology’s low-frequency stabilization is the resulting personality of the low-frequency content. Variable-D™ microphones produce a tight low-end that is unmatched by any other microphone technology, and this is why models such as the RE20 and RE27N/D are revered not only as the number-one announcer’s mic, but also as the go-to mic for capturing kick drums, low-frequency instruments and guitar amplifiers. For decades, the RE16, RE20 and RE27N/D Variable-D™ microphones have been the chosen industry standard for broadcast show hosts, vocal booths, voice-over studios, and professional touring or rental companies, trusted for their unparalleled acoustical performance and robust durability.

VOB™ Electro-Voice’s unique VOB™ technology (Vocally-Optimized Bass™) reduces low-frequency distortion in the microphone’s output. VOB™ counteracts proximity effect, sibilance and p-popping, thus assuring maximum musical clarity and vocal intelligibility. 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 clear, consistent sound that cuts through the mix.

Best Mic Placement

Suggested EV Mic

Kick Drum

Due to the unique nature of kick drums and placement, choosing a mic that is designed for kick drum and low-frequency instruments is recommended. Miking from the front of the drum (opposite the batter head) is preferred.

Miking techniques are a matter of personal preference. Choosing the right microphone for your application is a good place to start, and the suggested mic notes in each application below indicate EV mics that are either designed for the application or have been recommended by experienced professionals for their performance as described. These are merely guidelines to assist in the choice and placement of the microphone to achieve optimal performance.

LIVE

WIRED

1. Always point the microphone at the desired source and away from sources of unwanted sound. 2. The microphone should be located close to the sound source to minimize interference from other potential sound sources, increase gain-beforefeedback and increase the low frequency (bass) content of the signal. 3. Use the three-to-one rule when using multiple microphones: place each microphone three times farther away from other microphones as it is from the desired sound source. (If the microphone is 1 foot away from a sound source, it should be 3 feet away from the next closest microphone). 4. Minimize over-handling of the microphone (e.g. where possible put it on a stand instead of hand-held) to reduce unwanted mechanical noise.

Front heads with hole: Place the mic inside the hole so that the capsule (mesh grille area) is just inside the interior of the drum. Aim the capsule at an angle toward the spot on the batter head where the beater makes contact for desired snap (attack of the sound). Front heads without a hole: Aim the capsule directly on-axis to the front head and within 1 inch of the head, choosing a spot that is between 2 and 8 inches towards the center from the rim. The center of the head has the floppiest tone, and the edge will have the tightest.

GENERAL

Kick drum with no front head: This allows the widest variety of placement options, but increases off-axis bleed and eliminates the tonal advantage of the front (resonance) head. Avoid placing the mic dead-center aiming directly into the beater because of possible wind velocity distortion. Choose a spot inside the drum between 2" and 8" from the outer shell, aiming the capsule at an angle toward where the beater strikes the batter head. Placing the mic deeper or shallower inside the drum will offer tone and attack variations. Snare Drum

Place mic 1 to 3 inches above the batter head and 0 to 2 inches in from the rim depending on the desired tone. Aim each mic at the top head angled down 45 degrees. If the drum rings, tape deadening material to the head or use damping rings. For more “snare” sound, place a second mic under the drum (aimed up at the bottom head) and reverse the phase on its input channel.

PL35, N/D468 and N/D478

Electric Guitar

Place microphone approximately 1 to 2 inches from and at a 0° angle to the speaker cone. To reduce boominess, position the microphone off-axis to the cone at 45° or move the mic toward the center of the cone. You can expect a brighter tone at the voice coil (speaker center) and a darker tone the farther out from the center you go.

PL33, PL35, N/D467, N/ D478, N/D868, RE20, RE27N/D and RE320

Tom-Toms

On double-headed toms, place mic 1 to 3 inches over the top of the drum head at a 45° angle to the drum surface and 1/2" from the drum edge. On single headed toms, use above method or place mic inside tom from underneath at a 90° angle from the center of head, 3 to 5 inches away.

R300

wireless made easy

The R300 system is designed as an easy-to-use entry-level wireless for churches, schools, presenters, DJs and more. But the R300 also offers features normally found only in higher-priced professional systems, including a true rack-mountable metal receiver, metal bodypack and handheld transmitter and remote-mountable antennas. With the touch of a single button, ClearScan™ scans through all 32 preset channels and selects the clearest channel, which ensures noise-free operation over the longest operating range. In the increasingly cluttered world of RF, ClearScan™ gives you confidence that you can easily find an open frequency. Matching the transmitter frequency to the receiver also requires just the touch of a button. The R300 uses EZsync infrared technology to automatically set the transmitter to the correct frequency and confirm operation in one step. RE300 Receiver Synthesized PLL

wireless guidelines Choose your wireless system wisely! Wireless systems are not all created equal. In fact, only a very few of the wireless microphone products on the market today are actually designed and built by the people who sell them, and many of the most popular systems are built by microphone companies that only recently began to manufacture wireless devices. Electro-Voice and Telex are unique in the world of wireless. EV has been leading the way in microphone technology for over 85 years, and Telex practically invented professional wireless microphone systems three decades ago. When Telex and Electro-Voice came together in the late 1990s, these two great heritages were combined into a one-of-akind microphone company. All EV wireless products are the result of this vast experience and technological know-how.

As wireless products become more widely used, more and more problems are being encountered in installation and performance. Wherever possible, we build features into our new products to take care of problems before they start. But wireless problems are often unique to the situation and require a trained professional with considerable RF experience to solve. EV maintains a staff of highly trained RF engineers and designers to help our dealers and customers get systems working in the most critical and demanding applications. The key for the dealer is the knowledge that their sales are backed by a large company with plenty of talent and experience in wireless installations.

Important wireless terminology A wireless system at its most basic includes a transmitter— handheld or bodypack—and a receiver. As in any other technical business, however, beneath that apparent simplicity the world of wireless comes with its own set of concepts and technical jargon. To avoid being misled by overzealous marketing materials, it’s very important to

understand the basics of this language and to dispel any myths or preconceived notions that create an inaccurate picture of how things work. In the following sections we’ll go through the more common technical terms and try to give you an objective outlook.

What is diversity? The term “diversity” is derived from the word “diverse”, which means varied or unlike. In the world of RF, this translates into two or more unlike sources of the signal energy that is received at the receiver. Referred to as “diversity reception,” this approach is used to minimize the effects of multipath delays that can create dropouts of the radio signal. By combining or selecting two or more antenna sources for the same signal, diversity reception produces a constantly usable signal. While this always requires more than one antenna, each in a different physical location, it does not necessarily require multiple receivers.

WIRELESS

There are many types of diversity circuits used in wireless microphones on the market today, including twin-receiver “switching” diversity, antenna diversity, switching antenna diversity and the EV-patented Posi-Phase™ auto-diversity. Each of these methods may be effective, depending on the particular implementation of the circuitry by the manufacturer, provided that other critical areas of the receiver circuitry are not compromised. As long as two sources of signal are unlike or varied from each other, they qualify as diverse. You may hear a lot of hype about some systems claiming “true” diversity, but in reality all diversity systems use different sources of received energy from two or more antennas, and by definition any receiver using two or more varied signal inputs has diversity. Major manufacturers may differ in their particular implementation of the diversity circuitry, but from an engineering standpoint the term “true diversity” is meaningless.

Wireless Guidelines

What is patented Posi-Phase™ diversity? Posi-Phase™ diversity uses two antennas that are spaced apart and connected to a single high-quality receiver. The antenna signals are connected internally to microprocessor circuits that monitor the phase relationship between the two antennas. Both antennas are active at all times, which greatly increases the signal strength under normal conditions. In the event of a signal interruption from phase cancellation, either partial (multipath) or total (dropout), the logic circuitry adjusts the phase of the secondary antenna to a positive condition relative to the primary antenna. Occurring in a fraction of a second, this process continually adjusts the phase of the second antenna for the optimum signal. A similar patented technique is used in cellphones to ensure reliable operation. Telex Posi-Phase™ diversity is more effective and less costly to produce than switching diversity because only one high-quality receiver is required. That allows us to devote a greater portion of our resources to important aspects of receiver design such as filtering, IF circuitry, squelch and audio circuitry. By concentrating on these critical areas, we’re able to achieve superior overall receiver performance compared to switching diversity. This superior performance is easily verified by a simple shoot-out involving range and audio-quality tests. In any given environment, EV systems will typically go nearly twice as far as competitive models in a similar price range.

What is Phase Cancellation? Phase cancellation and multipath dropouts result from the fact that it takes longer for the reflections of a given radio signal to reach the receiver’s antenna than it does for the same signal to reach that antenna directly. Because of this delay, when the direct and reflected signals are combined in the receiver they are slightly out of phase. This phase difference causes the two signals to interfere with each other, resulting in diminished signal quality. Depending on the distance and geometry, the signals may temporarily be 180 degrees out of phase, thereby canceling each other completely, which is referred to as a dropout. A very common example of this phenomenon has occurred to most people at one time or another when listening to FM radio in their car. As you pull up to a stop light, you’ll sometimes notice that the sound becomes fuzzy and fades away as you roll slowly forward. Pull up just a few feet farther and the station comes back. The difference in reception illustrates how slight changes in position can impact phase coherence, resulting in signal cancellation. Because multipath problems are related to the geometry of the set up, it is possible to walk-test your transmitters using tools, such as the Sound Check Screen. If you find potential dropouts, you can correct them by adjusting antenna placement. Unfortunately, any change to the scenery, arena or even number of people in the performance area can affect reflections and reception.

What is a squelch circuit? Good receiver design begins with the RF and IF filtering, but another important part of the receiver circuitry is the squelch system (RF detection circuitry). This circuitry acts as a “gate” that is closed to audio signals unless the presence of an RF signal is detected at the receiver. Simple gatesquelch circuits, which are the kind most commonly used in competing wireless receivers, keep the audio path closed (or grounded to be very quiet) when the RF signal is below a set threshold. As soon as the detected RF energy reaches that threshold, the audio path is opened to audio signal. The problem with this approach is that simple gate-squelch circuits cannot tell the difference between wanted RF signal and unwanted signal—distortion, hiss and harmonics from sources such as lighting dimmers, CD or DVD players, computers, digital effects devices and electric motors. Since extraneous RF energy will open the squelch gate just as easily as desired signal, users often “crank up” the squelch level (raise the threshold). That limits sensitivity to noise, but it also reduces the range and performance of the system.

What is a combination squelch circuit?

WIRELESS

Advanced products like the FMR-1000 and RE-2 use a combination of tone-code and amplitude squelch to provide maximum protection against errant signals. In this case, the tone squelch works as described in the previous section and when the tone is present the amplitude squelch remains active. In the unlikely event that random noise fools the tone detector, the signal at the intended frequency must still be high enough to register on the amplitude squelch. The use of backup amplitude squelch also reduces the chances that an errant signal will cause audio noise while the transmitter is turned off.

Wireless Guidelines

Wireless “gain” settings Almost every wireless microphone system has a deviation control adjustment on the transmitter that is labeled, confusingly, as “gain.” Unfortunately, marking this adjustment as a “gain” setting encourages end-users to try to use it to set their overall audio level, which is not what the control is designed to do. (Audio levels are controlled at the mixing board, which is why wired microphones do not have a level control either.) Found only on wireless microphone transmitters, the deviation setting is used to maximize signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range. In a wireless microphone system,

audio information is transmitted as changes in the carrier frequency (frequency modulation or FM). The greater the changes in frequency (deviation), the better the signal-tonoise ratio will be. So, if the system’s maximum deviation is +/-40 kHz, we want deviation to approach 40 kHz when the input into the microphone is at its loudest. If the “gain” is set so that the maximum signal results in more than 40 kHz deviation, signal peaks will be clipped or distorted. If, on the other hand, the deviation is set too low, we are not taking the fullest possible advantage of the system’s signal-tonoise performance.

How to properly set the wireless “gain” 1) 2) 3) 4)

Disconnect the audio output of the wireless receiver from the input to the mixing console, or mute the PA system. If the source is a microphone, sing or scream into the microphone as loudly as it will ever be used in performance in this setting. If the source is a guitar, turn the volume knobs on the guitar to full and play the loudest passage of the performance. While the singer is singing or guitarist is playing, adjust the gain on the transmitter until the audio meter peaks in the usable range (strong signal but no clipping). Connect the audio output of the wireless receiver to the mixing console inputs (or unmute the console) and use the mixing board or amplifier to set the appropriate audio levels for the PA. For a guitar/instrument wireless system, use the receiver output level adjustment to match the “wired” instrument output level.

What other considerations should I think about? When selecting a wireless system, consider the long-term use for the system and always purchase a complete solution. For example, if you intend to eventually add more systems, make sure you select a system that will allow for the total number of future systems you may need. Also, don’t forget to consider what microphones are compatible with the system and at the availability of accessories, such as antenna combiners, antenna amplifiers, antennas and low-loss coaxial cable. Electro-Voice has a complete line of wireless accessories for UHF systems. These accessories allow the system to be tailored for the individual application and allow the user to get the most from their investment.

Wireless Microphone Antenna Guide ANTENNA TYPES Most products ship with 1/4" wave antennas to be mounted directly on the receiver or the rackmount hardware. These antennas are not ground independent, meaning that they cannot be mounted remotely at the end of a run of coaxial cable. For remote mounting, use 1/4" wave or directional log periodic antennas such as the FA-GW, CLA series or the LPA-500.

WIRELESS

REMOTE MOUNTING Antennas should be mounted with a direct line-of-sight to the performance area, and also above the cast and crew. One of the best places for mounting antennas is ten feet in the air at the side of the stage. All coaxial cable has signal loss, so keep the cable runs to minimum and use lowloss cables to keep the maximum performance range. The CXU cables from EV are very low-loss cables that will help maintain range. ANTENNA DISTRIBUTION When racking multiple receivers together, it is best to use an antenna distribution system, such as the APD4+. The APD4+ provides power and antenna connectors for four half-rack receivers and can be cascaded to run antennas for up to 16 systems from two antennas (using five APD4+ units). To prevent loss of range, the input of each additional splitter must be connected to the output of the original APD4+ (the one that is connected directly to the antennas).
