General Description:

The Electro-Voice® EVA Series (Expandable Vertical Array) is designed to provide full bandwidth, well defined coverage from easily created line arrays using four different preconfigured 2-way modules. Two verti- cal coverage angles, 6° and 20°, can be combined to create line arrays optimized for spaces ranging from 12m (40ft) to greater than 60m (200ft) deep. Two horizontal coverage angles, 90° and 120°, provide the perfect match for any width. Each module consists of two elements, each 2-way element containing an 8” woofer and two compression drivers mounted on a hydra/waveguide combination. High order passive networks couple the element’s transducers, and the array element to additional elements to provide plane wave radiation and response equal to DSP-driven high end systems. Impedance management allows full array drive (up to 4 modules) from a single amplifier channel at 4 ohms. Matching sub- woofer module is available when response below 50 Hz is required. EVA systems can be used in a variety of fixed installation applications where high quality sound reinforcement and even coverage are required from a compact , lightweight, unobtrusive array.

EVA-2082 modules utilize four DH2005 high output 1.25” titanium com- pression drivers, mounted on two Hydra® plane wave generators and two waveguides. The result is smooth response to 20 kHz and excellent pattern control in both planes.

The EVS2008 8” woofer is designed for line array use to provide very low distortion and maximum intelligibility at high SPL levels. The crossover features steep 36 dB/octave slopes with equalization for very smooth re- sponse in the vocal range, extended HF, and a protection circuit for long term reliability. It includes a user definable shading capability to finely adjust the line array to the audience area.

EVA-2082S/1220 specifications

The Electro-Voice EVA-2082S/1220 is a high-performance loudspeaker system designed for professional audio applications, particularly in large-scale venues such as theaters, concerts, and events. This advanced speaker is part of the EVA (Expandable Vertical Array) series, which is celebrated for its modular design and superior sound quality.

One of the standout features of the EVA-2082S/1220 is its innovative dual 8-inch neodymium woofers, which deliver clear, powerful low-frequency response while maintaining efficiency. This makes the speaker ideal for both speech and music reproduction. The 1.25-inch titanium compression driver coupled with a robust waveguide ensures that high frequencies are consistently delivered across the listening area, providing a balanced sound profile.

The EVA-2082S/1220 incorporates advanced technologies that enhance its performance in various sound reinforcement applications. The system's unique horn design allows for controlled dispersion of sound, minimizing feedback issues and ensuring clarity even in challenging acoustic environments. This is crucial for live performances where intelligibility is vital.

Another key characteristic of the EVA-2082S/1220 is its versatility in array configurations. The speaker can be paired with other modules to create a larger system that can be tailored to the specific requirements of a venue. This modularity also makes it easy for sound engineers to set up and optimize the sound system for different types of events.

In addition to its audio performance, the EVA-2082S/1220 features a rugged enclosure built from durable materials, ensuring longevity and reliability even in demanding situations. This robust construction helps protect the internal components while also enhancing sound quality by minimizing resonance.

The speaker is equipped with both passive and bi-amp operation capabilities, offering flexibility in how it can be integrated into a sound system. The option for bi-amping allows for independent control of frequencies, providing greater customization in tuning the audio experience.

Overall, the Electro-Voice EVA-2082S/1220 is a top-tier loudspeaker that combines advanced sound technologies with practical features, making it an excellent choice for professional audio applications. Its ability to deliver high-quality sound in a variety of settings while offering versatility in setup positions it as a leader in its category, meeting the needs of audio professionals.
