Product Description

Model Summary

EVID™ 3.2

Most compact of the EVID™ Series, the

EVID™ 3.2 uses dual 3.5-inch LF drivers

with a .75-inch titanium direct radiator

tweeter to provide high-fidelity, full-range

sound over an extremely wide coverage

area. The EVID™ 3.2t includes a trans-

former for 70V or 100V systems.

EVID™ 4.2

The compact EVID™ 4.2 delivers very full-

range sound from its dual 4-inch LF drivers

and a 1-inch titanium tweeter with wave-

guide. It is able to deliver a 110-dB sound

level over a wide coverage area. The EVID™

4.2t includes a multi-tap transformer for

70V or 100V line distribution systems.

EVID™ 6.2

The EVID™ 6.2 is an extended-range high-

output speaker with dual 6.5-inch woofers

and a 1-inch titanium tweeter with wave-

guide, designed for high SPL over a wide

coverage area. The EVID™ 6.2t includes a

multi-tap transformer for a 70V or 100V

line distribution system.

EVID™ 12.1

This subwoofer’s unique 12-inch dual-voice-

coil woofer design and side/front angled port

system allows for powerful low-frequency

reinforcement from a flexible, compact wall-

or ceiling-mounted enclosure. The EVID™

12.1's full, rich bass is an ideal addition to

any EVID™ system.

SAM™ (Strong-Arm-Mount™)

System

EVID™’s SAM™ system (Strong-Arm-

Mount™) excels at meeting the four require-

ments for mounting FGM/BGM systems:

simple, quick, versatile, and reliable. Three

easy steps and you are done: Attach the sur-

face bracket to the wall or ceiling; attach the

EVID™ enclosure to the bracket with the

socket-head bolt; aim the enclosure and

tighten the bolt. SAM™ allows greater flexi-

bility for aiming than ball-type mounts that

limit range of motion when not on center.

Typical ball designs have limited rotation

when pointing straight ahead, and even that

is reduced when the enclosure contacts the

wall and is moved off axis. By contrast,

SAM™ allows full rotation even at full

sweep. Figure 4 shows SAM™’s range of

rotation (note that EVID™’s curved cabinet

allows it to rotate much further [90 degrees]

than a rectangular or trapezoidal box).

Figure 5 shows the range of sweep motion

left and right on the wall. All three models

allow 100 degrees of sidewise motion.

Step-by-Step Installation

and Wiring (3.2, 4.2, 6.2)

Step 1: Mount the SAM™ Bracket

The SAM™ bracket can be mounted on

either side of the speaker, enabling optimal

configuration for any installation. First,

determine whether the bracket should be

mounted on the left or right side of the

speaker (do not bolt the speaker to the

bracket). It is best to mount the bracket on

the side away from the direction in which

the speaker will be aimed. This ensures

that the full sweep angle is available for

aiming on that side and provides easier

access to the sweep tightening bolt on the

wall bracket (see step 3). For safey, make

sure the mounting surface can support

more than the speaker's weight! Use

only industry-accepted fasteners and

mounting methods when mounting the

bracket. Consult an expert if you are not

sure. Read steps 2 and 3 before mounting

the speaker in step 4.

For standard vertical installation mount

the SAM™ bracket as shown in Figure 6.

For horizontal mounting configurations,

mounting the bracket on the bottom side

(as in Figure 7) is easiest and safest, and

allows the speaker to be mounted closer to

the ceiling.

Step 2: Select Voltage Tap (Models

4.2t and 6.2t Only)

Before mounting the speaker to the brack-

et, select the proper voltage tap setting for

your installation. The voltage selector

switch is located at the rear of the speaker

below the input terminal panel.

The EVID™ 4.2t and 6.2t include a switch

for selecting the power taps. The EVID™

3.2t has a single power tap.

EVID™ 3.2t

A single (non-selectable) power tap rated at

5W@70V and 10W@100V.

EVID™ 4.2t

The power taps are 30W, 15W and 7.5W at

both 70.7V and 100V, with a 3.7W tap for

70.7V only.

EVID™ 6.2t:

The power taps are 60W, 30W and 15W at

both 70.7V and 100V, with a 7.5W tap for

70.7V only.

The taps for the models listed above are

selected by a rotary switch on the back

panel. A guide on the back of each speaker

shows which switch positions to use for the

power settings at 70V and 100V.

Figure 8 below illustrates the settings for

the 4.2t and 6.2t

Step 3: Mount the Speaker to the

SAM™ Bracket

Attach the speaker to the SAM™ bracket

with the socket head bolt, as shown in

Figure 9.

Secure the speaker with the provided

security tool by tightening the two socket

head bolts as shown. After selecting the

proper horizontal angle, secure the swing

axis as shown by tightening bolt A. Next,

select the proper vertical angle with the

aid of the angle markers as shown in

Figure 10. Then secure the rotation axis by

tightening bolt B.

11 after tightening and securing the speaker.

Step 4: Wire the Speaker

Connect the wires to the speaker at the

back terminal plate observing the polarity

of the connections. The push-terminals

accept banana connector plugs.

Step 5: Secure the Seismic Tab

Connection Point

The rear of the enclosure includes an eye-

bolt for connection to a seismic restraint.

Connect it to a properly rated hardware fit-

ting that is securely installed independent-

ly of the SAM™ bracket. Even if your local

construction code does not require the

installation of secondary support, its use is

highly recommended for further security.

Step 6: Test System Operation

After all connections are made, test the

complete system operation. Appendix C

(page 14) contains a troubleshooting table

to assist in locating many speaker-related

problems.

Packing List (12.1 Subwoofer)

Below is the list of parts included with the

EVID™ 12.1 subwoofer. The parts are illus-

trated in Figure 14.

Product Feature Identification

The 12.1 subwoofer comes with a dual-mode

mounting bracket that enables the unit to

be easily mounted at either a wall/wall (cor-

ner) or on a wall/ceiling (midwall) junction.

The included forged steel eyebolt provides

the installer a solid attachment point for a

safety line. The 12.1 subwoofer may also be

safely installed protruding just 2 3/4" down

through a standard suspended ceiling grid.

See installation instructions.

Illustrated below are the major compo-

nents of the EVID™ Series 12.1 subwoofer.

Step-by-Step Installation

and Wiring (12.1 Subwoofer)

Step 1: Mount the Bracket

The mounting bracket can be installed two

ways (see Figures 17 and 18), allowing opti-

mal configurations for installations. Leave

1.5" of space between the bracket and

the ceiling when installing in a corner!

Attach the bracket to the wall with suit-

able fasteners screwed into structural mem-

bers in the wall. Remember: It is the in-

staller's responsibility to insure that the

structure can safely support the load.

Step 2: Install the Safety Line

Using accepted safe rigging practices,

secure one end of a suitable safety line (use

cable, not chain, which will rattle) to a

strong, secure point above the speaker, a

point that can withstand the shock of the

falling speaker. This is especially important

in public spaces constructed with light-

gauge steel studs. Do not attach the safe-

ty line to the bracket! The safety line

should prevent the speaker from falling if

the bracket tears loose from the wall.

Secure the other end to the eyebolt that is

fully threaded into the enclosure.

Step 3: Wire the Speaker

The amplifier and satellite speakers are

wired as shown in Figure 19. It is highly

advisable to support the unit while these

connections are being made. Connect all

wires to the speaker at the back terminal

plate observing proper polarity of the con-

nections. The push-terminals accept strand-

ed wire up to 14 gauge. When using two

satellites, wire the speakers directly into

the output terminals of the panel. Four

satellites may be connected either as two

pairs directly to the output terminals or

with daisy-chain wiring as in Figure 20.
