Suspension

Warning!
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals
who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects
overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into
account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance
with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly
recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations
require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken
immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable
of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker
not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.
Warning!
Do not suspend this product in any other manner than explicitly described in this manual, or
Electro-Voice installation guides. Do NOT use handles to suspend the loudspeaker. Handles
on Electro-Voice loudspeakers are intended to only be used for temporary transport by
people. Items, such as fiber rope, wire rope, cables, or other types of materials cannot be
used to suspend loudspeaker from the handles.

1.4

Precautions

If an Electro-Voice loudspeaker is used outdoors on a sunny day, place the loudspeaker in a shaded or covered area. The loudspeaker amplifiers have protection circuits that temporarily shut the loudspeaker off when extremely high temperatures are reached. This can happen on hot days when the loudspeaker is in direct sunlight.
Do not use Electro-Voice loudspeakers in an environment where temperatures are below 0°C (32°F) or exceed +35°C (95°F).
Never expose an Electro-Voice loudspeaker to rain, water, or high moisture.
Electro-Voice loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to anyone within normal coverage distance. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels exceeding 90 dB.

Description

Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice powered loudspeaker system. Please take time to consult the manual to understand all the features built into your EV system and fully utilize its performance capabilities.
ROCK SOLID SOUND: Electro-Voice ELX200 portable loudspeakers
The ELX200 series is the newest member of the best-selling Electro-Voice portable loudspeaker family. Positioned above ZLX and below the EKX series, the ELX200 series features ten models (five powered and five passive), including 10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch two-way models, and 12-inch and 18-inch subwoofers.
Every aspect of ELX200 is designed for ideal results as part of the whole – the acoustical, electrical and mechanical components all work together seamlessly. The full-range models feature a low profile form factor designed with a high-spec composite enclosure to balance weight, manageability, as well as structural integrity. The subwoofers pack powerful low­frequency output into a surprisingly compact footprint, and feature tuned 15 mm thick wood enclosures with a premium top-coat finish. The proprietary features that have made the other members of the EV portable speaker family a go-to for best-in-class performance are also present: Class-D amplifier design (1200 W), QuickSmartDSP, and the Signal Synchronized Transducers (SST) waveguide concept.
The new QuickSmart Mobile wireless control and monitoring application, using Bluetooth® Low Energy (BTLE) technology, allows intuitive system control, configuration and monitoring of up to six powered ELX200 loudspeakers simultaneously. Receive alerts when your system is being overdriven, and control your system while in front of your speakers, not behind.
Bluetooth® is available in select countries.
EV's industry-leading quality and testing procedures yield efficient transducer design and meaningful specs, resulting in components that deliver accurate, linear response at the system’s highest output levels. Translation: loud and clear all the way up to the limit. Unified in one of the strongest full-range composite enclosures ever built by EV. The ELX200 is established as the new benchmark for toughness – both acoustically and physically; maximum efficiency with maximum toughness.
