EVI-28 250-Watt Two-Way Compact Vari Intense® Speaker System

pended items be inspected at least once a year and any weakened or damaged parts be replaced immediately.

The recommended mounting method is the optional U-Bracket hanging kit, EVI-28MB, available in black or white. It attaches to the 3/8” t-nut locations on each side of the enclosure, allowing the system to be hung individually or in an array. A set of mount- ing holes for an OmniMount 100 are in- cluded on each EVI-28MB bracket. Electro-Voice recommends a minimum safety factor of 8:1, or greater if local codes or regulations exceed this amount. The EVI-28MB brackets exceed this safety fac- tor when installed in compliance with Electro-Voice recommendations.

EVI-28 specifications

The Electro-Voice EVI-28 is a highly regarded loudspeaker system known for its advanced design and exceptional sound quality. As part of the EVI series, this model is particularly suited for medium to large venues, delivering clear and powerful audio that stands out for its versatility and performance.

One of the main features of the EVI-28 is its unique design, which utilizes a broad, elliptical waveguide. This technology allows the speaker to provide a wider sound dispersion, ensuring that audiences experience a consistent audio quality regardless of their position within the listening area. The waveguide design not only improves coverage but also minimizes feedback issues, making it an ideal choice for live sound applications.

The EVI-28 is equipped with dual high-frequency compression drivers that contribute to a well-balanced sound across the frequency spectrum. These drivers offer a smooth response and deliver crisp, detailed highs, which are crucial for vocals and other high-frequency content. The low-frequency performance is powered by dual 8-inch woofers, designed to provide deep and punchy bass response. Together, these components ensure that the EVI-28 can handle a wide range of musical genres and live performances with ease.

Another notable characteristic of the EVI-28 is its rugged build quality and aesthetic design. Housed in a durable enclosure, the speaker is engineered to withstand the rigors of touring and constant transportation while maintaining its performance integrity. The attractive cabinet design not only enhances the overall look of the installation but also allows for various mounting options, giving sound engineers and venue managers flexibility in setup.

The EVI-28 also incorporates advanced acoustic engineering principles, including optimized porting and tuning, which further enhance its low-end performance. The power handling capacity of the EVI-28 is impressive, making it suitable for high-output applications, where clean and loud sound is a necessity.

In summary, the Electro-Voice EVI-28 stands out as a robust loudspeaker that combines cutting-edge technologies with practical features. Its exceptional sound dispersion, high-quality driver components, and durable construction make it a preferred choice for professionals looking for reliable audio solutions in a variety of environments. With the EVI-28, users can expect a compelling audio experience that meets the demands of both performers and audiences alike.
