Input

This window is where the global input mode is set. <SELECT>

key to navigate to the MODE parameter. Use the up/down VALUE arrows to choose between Analog and Digital input.

LCD

LCD settings allow the user to adjust the contrast preferences of the LCD screen to compensate for different lighting conditions that may be encountered within different venues. Use the <SELECT> key to navigate to the CONTRAST parameter to choose the best setup for your system. Use the up/

down VALUE arrows to choose between: -10 to + 10 LCD contrast.

Limiter Units

In this window you can select between dBu and Volt for Limiter units. Use the <SELECT> key to navigate to the UNITS parameter.

Metering

Users can set their VU metering preferences here. <SELECT> key to navigate to the MODE parameter. Use the up/down VALUE arrows to choose between Normal Fast, Peak Hold and Slow Decay.

Temperature

This parameter is used to calculate the speed of sound for converting delay times into distance. Use SETUP Temperature to adjust number of degrees and type of temperature base. Use the <SELECT> key to navigate to the TEMP and UNITS parameters. Use the up/down VALUE arrows to choose between – 4.0 F to 140.0 F. The UNITS parameter lets the user choose between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Note: Sound travels at different speeds depending on the density of the surrounding air it is traveling through. Cold air is denser than warm air thus, travels slower than it would if the air was warmer. Temperature can have a major influence with greater distances, particularly with respect to widely separated speaker arrays surrounding the audience for example. Temperatures might vary wildly between an indoor environment and an outdoor evening environment for example.

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.
