magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
OVEREXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.
AVIS: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE,
NE PAS OUVRIR.

FCC information
IMPORTANT: Do not modify this unit! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority, granted by the FCC, to operate the equipment.
Notice!
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
▪ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
▪ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
▪ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
▪ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
Precautions
en 5
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 +40°C (104°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.

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 regulations. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance with all such
regulations. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recommends the
system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected,
remedial action should be taken immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall
or ceiling is capable of supporting the loudspeaker. Any hardware used to suspend a
loudspeaker not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

System features
ETX Powered Loudspeakers from Electro-Voice build upon the legacy and heritage of EV, to
deliver the most advanced powered loudspeaker products for portable and permanent
applications. The output, response and coverage pattern of EV transducers are all optimized
via the breakthrough design approach known as SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers),
combined with state-of-the-art on-board DSP which is accessed via an easy-to-use single-knob
interface. EV designed and manufactured transducers include SMX woofer technology using
composite cone materials, flux stabilizing rings, and thermal management. This transducer
yields lower distortion, smooth response and high SPL. The high-efficiency DH3-B
compression driver has a convex diaphragm driving a coherent phase device extending
frequency response to 20 kHz. The ETX Powered Loudspeaker family features three (3) twoway loudspeakers (10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch with a 1.5-inch titanium compression driver),
a single three-way loudspeaker, and subwoofers with 15-inch and 18-inch drivers. ETX
Powered Loudspeakers combine EV-engineered intelligent DSP, high-powered amplifiers and
high-efficiency transducers to deliver that legendary EV sound and performance.
