What general guidelines do I consider when deciding on the physical placement of the EVID 12.1 subwoofer? It is often desirable to place the subwoofer in the middle of the room to get the most uniform coverage. Even though a subwoofer projects sound omni directionally and that the sound is generally not localizable, there is still a reduction in subwoofer sound level the farther away one gets from the subwoofers installed location. Placement in the middle of a room however lowers the sens

In mono systems (with the inputs of the subwoofer paralleled), the amp views the loads hooked up to the Left and Right satellite outputs as being in parallel with each other. Make sure the amplifier can run loads of less than 4 ohms in this situation. What are some techniques to properly balance the levels between the subwoofer and satellites? The required sensitivity balance between the subwoofer and satellites varies by the musical requirements of the application. A sports bar or health

conducted; Humidity, Low Temperature Cycle, High Temperature Cycle, UV Exposure, and Salt Spray. Salt Spray 48 hours continuous light spray consisting of 5% salt solution. This tests for resistance to the effects of an "aqueous salt atmosphere". It also gives a general indication of resistance to rusting. Humidity 48 hours of cycling. Starts at 100% humidity @ 27 degrees C; goes to 95% @ 35degrees and goes back to 100% at 27 degrees. It is to indicate resistance to a warm humid atmosph

infrastructure of the audio system is a constant voltage design you would employ the “t” versions. Do the EVID “t” models work with both 70v and 100v systems? Yes, the same “t” models work on both 100v and 70.7v lines. Regardless whether you use 100v or 70.7v distributed line systems; you use the same model speaker. What are the power taps for the various EVID “t” models”? • 3.2t: A single (non-selectable) power tap rated at 5w@70v and 10w@100v. • 4.2t: The power taps are 30w, 15w and 7.
