Safety First
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who
have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead. ElectroVoice® strongly recommends that all speakers be suspended t aking into account all current national,
federal, state and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all speakers
are safely installed in accordance with all such regulations. When speakers are suspended, ElectroVoice® strongly recommends that 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 that the supporting surfaces, and any additional hardware used, is
capable of supporting the loudspeaker. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker array that is
not provided by/associated with Electro-Voice® is the responsibility of others.

Model Summary
EVID™ 3.2
Most compact of the EVID™ Series, the
EVID™ 3.2 uses dual 3.5-inch LF drivers
with a .75-inch titanium direct radiator
tweeter to provide high-fidelity, full-range
sound over an extremely wide coverage
area. The EVID™ 3.2t includes a
transformer for 70V or 100V systems.
EVID™ 4.2
The compact EVID™ 4.2 delivers very fullrange sound from its dual 4-inch LF
drivers and a 1-inch titanium tweeter with
waveguide. It is able to deliver a 110-dB
sound level over a wide coverage area.
The EVID™ 4.2t includes a multi-tap
transformer for 70V or 100V line distribution systems.
EVID™ 6.2
The EVID™ 6.2 is an extended-range
high-output speaker with dual 6.5-inch
woofers and a 1-inch titanium tweeter with
waveguide, designed for high SPL over a
wide coverage area. The EVID™ 6.2t
includes a multi-tap transformer for a 70V
or 100V line distribution system.
EVID™ 12.1
This subwoofer’s unique 12-inch dualvoice-coil woofer design and side/front
angled port system allows for powerful
low-frequency reinforcement from a
flexible, compact wall- or ceiling-mounted
enclosure. The EVID™ 12.1's full, rich
bass is an ideal addition to any EVID™
system.

Product Description
SAM™ (Strong-ArmMount™) System
EVID™’s SAM™ system (Strong-ArmMount™) excels at meeting the four
requirements for mounting FGM/BGM
systems: simple, quick, versatile, and
reliable. Three easy steps and you are
done: Attach the surface bracket to the
wall or ceiling; attach the EVID™
enclosure to the bracket with the sockethead bolt; aim the enclosure and tighten
the bolt. SAM™ allows greater flexibility
for aiming than ball-type mounts that limit
range of motion when not on center.
Typical ball designs have limited rotation
when pointing straight ahead, and even
that is reduced when the enclosure
contacts the wall and is moved off axis. By
contrast, SAM™ allows full rotation even
at full sweep. Figure 4 shows SAM™’s
range of rotation (note that EVID™’s
curved cabinet allows it to rotate much
further [90°] than a rectangular or
trapezoidal box). Figure 5 shows the range
of sweep motion left and right on the wall.
All three models allow 100° of sidewise
motion.
Step-by-Step Installation
and Wiring (3.2, 4.2, 6.2)
S tep 1: Mount the SAM™ Bracket
to the Wall
The SAM™ bracket can be mounted on
either side of the speaker, enabling
optimal configuration for any installation.
Determine whether the bracket should be
mounted on the left or right side of the
speaker before you bolt the speaker to
the bracket. It is best to mount the bracket
on the side away from the direction in
which the speaker will be aimed. This
ensures that the full swing angle is
available for aiming on that side and
provides easier access to the swing
tightening bolt on the wall bracket (see
Fig. 10, Step 3). For safety, make sure the
mounting surface can support more than
the speaker's weight! Use only industryaccepted fasteners and mounting
methods when mounting the bracket.
Consult an expert if you are not sure.
Read steps 2 and 3 before wiring the
speaker in step 4.
For standard vertical installation mount the
SAM™ bracket as shown in Figure 6. For
horizontal mounting configurations,
mounting the bracket on the bottom side
(as in Figure 7) is easiest and safest, and
allows the speaker to be mounted closer
to the ceiling.
