waveguide; the C6.2 with a 6.5-inch LF driver and a 1-inch titanium-coated tweeter; the C8.2
and the C8.2LP with an 8-inch LF driver and a 1-inch titanium-coated tweeter; the C8.2HC
with a fully waveguide loaded 8-inch LF driver and a 1-inch titanium coated tweeter; and the
EVID C10.1, a true ceiling-mounted subwoofer designed to augment and extend the full-range
model’s low-frequency response.

3.1 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 waveguidecoupled, 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-C4.2LP
The C4.2LP is the same as the C4.2 but in a low-profile installation package, ideal for tight
ceiling spaces. It’s 3.7” deep to fit the tightest spaces, and shares the same outside diameter
as the C6.2, C8.2, and C8.2LP speakers, so it can be used in combination with any of these
models without any visual differences.
EVID-C6.2
The C6.2 has a specially tuned enclosure and 6.5-inch woofer to provide amazing bass
response. The 1-inch 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 C8.2
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.
