Electro-Voice EVI-12 12" 2-Way Variable Intensity Loudspeaker, 45-20000Hz Frequency Response, 8 Ohms Nominal Impedance, Single, Black

The Electro-Voice EVI-12 12" 2-Way Variable Intensity Black Loudspeaker (Single) is a factory assembled system featuring a small-format Vari Intense horn and a 12" direct radiator in a vented enclosure. The EVI-12 is intended to be used as a stand-alone full-range system, but may also be used as the mid-bass/high-frequency component in most multi-way loudspeaker systems.

The EVI-12 consists of a proprietary cast frame 305mm (12") high-power, long excursion low-frequency driver mounted within a vented chamber of 2.5 cubic feet, optimally tuned to provide unequalized low frequency response to below 45 Hz. The high-frequency complement consists of a 25.4mm (1.0") exit compression driver utilizing a new small-format Vari Intense horn. Vari Intense is a revolutionary pat ented6 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 en closure is constructed from 19mm (0.75") thick, thoroughly braced 7-ply birch plywood lined with sound-absorbent glass wool. Five 3/8-16 shoulder-bolt hanging points are provided for safe suspension of the EVI-12. The EBK-1 kit (sold separately) of three forged shoulder eyebolts is available if structurally rated 3/8-16 eyebolts are not locally available. The system may then be hung individually or in an array.
