Frequency

Frequency offers a selectable frequency range from 20.0 Hz to 20,000Hz.

Hi-Pass/Lo Pass

The DC-One Hi-Pass and Lo-Pass filters are determined by selecting the Type from the list of parameters, (see list above) and by choosing a frequency range between 20.0 Hz to 20,000Hz. (See above)

The crossover filter generally consists of a low pass filter in one channel and a high pass filter in the adjacent channel. This is where the frequency x-over filter’s Hi-Pass parameters are set. The Hi-Pass frequency parameters are linked to the corresponding Lo-Pass frequency parameter unless in Full Edit Mode or using the Configuration option. Please refer to the Configuration section of this manual for details on the effect different Configurations have on channel linking.

The Type parameter defines the filter characteristics of the crossover Hi-Pass

filter. Different slopes and filter responses (6dB, 12dB with different Q values, Bessel, Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley) are available and the filter can be bypassed.

Again, the Hi-Pass frequency parameters are linked to the corresponding Lo- Pass frequency parameter depending on the Configuration that is currently being used. High pass frequencies are set with a pre-determined frequency that attenuates frequencies below (the crossover point). On the contrary, a Low Pass filter passes frequencies below the crossover point and attenuates those above.

Crossover Alignment Delay

To access the Crossover Delay screen, press the X-Overbutton found on the output processing menu. Subsequent button presses will toggle the display between OUT1 to OUT6. Use the <SELECT> button to navigate between the Crossover parameters.

Adjust the values of each parameter using the up/down VALUE arrows.

Delay - Use this parameter to compensate for physical offsets of the acoustic centers of transducers within a loudspeaker cabinet. For example, due to cabinet construction, the acoustic center of a high frequency transducer may be mounted behind or in front of the acoustic center of the low frequency transducer. The Delay parameter can align the audio signal between the multiple transducers within the loudspeaker.

Polarity - The polarity of the audio signal can be inverted using this control.

Unit - The user may select betwen time and distance display. Distances are automatically converted into delay times. This calulation also includes the influence of the environmental temperature based on the Temperature parameter in the Setup Menu.

Bypass - Setting this to On disables the Crossover Delay.

Speaker System specifications

Electro-Voice, a brand renowned for its high-quality audio solutions, has long been a pioneer in the speaker system market. The Electro-Voice Speaker System offers a diverse array of products designed to cater to a multitude of audio needs, from professional touring to installation in venues and home use.

One of the standout features of the Electro-Voice speaker systems is their innovative design, which combines durability with aesthetic appeal. Constructed with rugged, weather-resistant materials, they are built to withstand the rigors of touring while maintaining exceptional performance in various environments. This makes them a popular choice for live sound engineers and musicians alike.

In terms of sound quality, Electro-Voice speakers utilize advanced technologies such as the patented Constant Directivity Horns, which provide broad coverage and minimize distortion. This is particularly crucial in larger venues, where maintaining clarity and presence can be a challenge. The use of high-performance transducers ensures that the audio output is balanced across all frequencies, delivering crisp highs, rich mids, and powerful lows.

Another impressive characteristic is the intelligent integration of digital signal processing (DSP) in many of their systems. This technology allows for precise control over sound customization, enabling users to tune their speakers for specific applications or venue acoustics. The DSP capabilities help optimize sound quality while protecting the system from potential damage due to overdrive or feedback.

Portability is another key aspect of the Electro-Voice speaker system lineup. Many models are designed to be lightweight and easy to transport, allowing for quick setup and takedown, making them ideal for mobile DJs and bands. Moreover, the flexible rigging options available with multiple models ensure that users can adapt the speakers' positioning to maximize sound performance.

Electro-Voice also emphasizes connectivity with modern audio systems. Many of their speakers are equipped with versatile input options, making them compatible with various mixing consoles, amplifiers, and other sound equipment. This flexibility simplifies integration into existing setups and enhances usability across different scenarios.

Additionally, the aesthetic design of Electro-Voice speakers, often featuring sleek lines and contemporary finishes, allows them to blend seamlessly into a variety of environments, from high-end venues to casual settings.

Overall, the Electro-Voice speaker system stands out for its combination of robust construction, superior sound quality, advanced technology, portability, and versatile connectivity options. Whether for professional sound reinforcement or personal audio enjoyment, these systems facilitate a remarkable audio experience that has become synonymous with the Electro-Voice brand.
