Electro-voice TOUR X User Manual

Ready for the road

On the road our Tour X rig takes all
the abuse we can throw at it, but it
always sounds great. Whether jammed
in the back of the van or kicked around
onstage, it’s built to handle the realities
of the road.

Electro-Voice PA systems provide sound for
the world’s biggest tours and events

…including yours.

Sir Paul McCartney’s Quebec City 400th Anniversary Celebration – the largest concert event in Canadian history–
with an audience of over 250,000. Country superstar Kenny Chesney’s summer tours, attracting over one million fans
annually. Live Earth – a mass global audience of millions attended live concerts around the world. The world renowned
Glastonbury Festival, averaging over 250,000 people per year. The Foo Fighters record breaking back-to-back shows
at Wembley Stadium, London. All these shows relied upon Electro-Voice sound systems. And the list goes on…

We know you take your sound just as seriously. That’s why the experience
we’ve gained from decades in the business makes its way into every loud­speaker we build, including the new Tour X.

Tour X embodies the same Electro-Voice engineering excellence and aesthetic design found in our world class
tour systems. Its form is seamlessly integrated into practical, functional elements that make a bold statement about
its multi-application purpose and breakthrough performance.

A host of innovative features and patent pending designs make Tour X the most
exciting loudspeaker series available today...

Features

“Backbone Grille”

This design is so special that it has a patent pending. Unique
aesthetics that stand out in the crowd are only half the story:
the real functionality of this design is the strength advantage it
has over standard grille designs. Much like the arc of a bridge,
the curved structure of this grille is highly damage resistant.

Angled Input Panel

Not content to buy an off-the-shelf input panel, we designed
and tooled our own. The angle allows the loudspeaker to be
placed much closer to boundaries, and boasts an extra-wide
design so that larger hands can manipulate even the most
stubborn of connectors.

Ergonomic Handles

Again, why use the same off-the-shelf parts that every other
loudspeaker manufacturer uses? Ultra-sonically welded to
eliminate the annoying sound of air leaks often associated with
cheaper products, this new handle design is both extremely
comfortable and highly functional.

Breakthrough SMX Woofers

Electro-Voice engineers have shattered the limitations tradi­tionally associated with woofer design. New proprietary model­ing, simulation, and 3D laser verification tools have enabled
us to achieve linearity in the three critical domains: electric,
magnetic, and suspension. The result is an efficient, well-be­haved, high-output woofer with absolutely inaudible distortion.
An industry first.
