Model Summary |
|
EVID C4.2 |
|
Perfect for conventional rooms. It has excellent bandwidth in an esthetically very unobtrusive |
|
installation profile. Its compact design fits in tight areas. Its 4-inch woofer and waveguide- |
|
coupled, titanium-coated dome tweeter give smooth, wide frequency response. The enclosure |
is ported and tuned to provide surprising bass response in such a compact package. Features an easy 3-point mounting system for quick installations.
EVID C8.2
The C8.2 has a specially tuned enclosure and 8-inch woofer to provide amazing bass response. The 1-inch waveguide-coupled tweeter gives smooth controlled coverage out to 20 kHz. Perfect for installations where a flush-mount design is desired but demand for high-quality audio exists. Features a 4-point mounting system to make installations fast and easy.
EVID C8.2LP
The C8.2LP is the same as the C8.2 but in a low-profile installation package. Ideal for tight ceiling spaces.
EVID C8.2HC
The EVID C8.2HC is ideal for high ceilings and reverberant “problem” rooms. Its exclusive ported, waveguide-coupled, 8-inch driver provides excellent intelligibility and definition. The 8.2HC’s patent pending design provides great coverage control throughout the voice range and above. No other ceiling speaker system provides the combination of excellent pattern control, wide bandwidth, high power handling, and compact design like the C8.2HC.
EVID C10.1
The C10.1 packs a 10-inch subwoofer in a tuned high performance enclosure to give amazing low frequency performance down to 45 Hz! It is one of the few quick-mount ceiling TRUE subwoofers available. Flexible installation and powerful low-end performance make it the ideal mate to any EVID ceiling model.
