Thank you for purchasing EVID Ceiling Series loudspeakers. Read through this manual to familiarize yourself with features, applications, and precautions before you use these products.

EVID Ceiling Series loudspeakers use innovative design and materials to provide premium-level performance in a flush-mount ceiling format. Seven models comprise the EVID Ceiling Series: the C4.2 and the C4.2LP with a 4-inch LF driver and a 0.75-inch, titanium coated tweeter with 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.

3.1Model 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.
