Safety
Warning!
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals
who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects
overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into
account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance
with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly
recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations
require.
If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken
immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable
of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker
not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.
Safety Agency Compliance
The EVID 2.1 and EVID 40S bracket systems have successfully passed EIA-636 at a safety
factor of 8:1. The bracket systems are intended to support only the EVID 2.1 and EVID 40S
respectively. Do
not use either bracket system for any other purpose. Never set anything on or
hang anything from the EVID 2.1 or EVID 40S enclosures when using the brackets.
As an added safety measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to
the building structural supports. This redundant safety point should have as little slack as
possible (less than one (1) inch is preferable).

Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the EVID Compact Sound Speaker System. Read through this manual
to familiarize yourself with the features, applications, and precautions before you use these
products.
The EVID Compact Sound Speaker System is a very compact full-range loudspeaker ideal for
applications requiring high-quality sound. Its shape flexibility and size make it nearly invisible
for use in background/foreground music systems for restaurants, bars, patios, retail, and other
applications. The system consists of a high performance surface mount 8-inch subwoofer
module with a crossover network to support the included four (4) surface mount 2-inch
satellite speakers. The system provides for easy signal connections at the subwoofer and can
support either 4/8 ohm or 70/100v signal connections. Its high power handling allows the
system to be used in a wide variety of environments and spaces to provide high quality
background or foreground music.
System features
A complete matched background/foreground music speaker solution.
High
power handling- system supports up to 200 watts with 8 ohm and 100 watts with
70v/100v input connections.
Large 8-inch woofer for increased low frequency output.
Direct connection of satellites to subwoofer- simplifies installation wiring.
Convenient
detachable phoenix style signal connections speed up installation time.
Large high quality rigid wood subwoofer cabinet supports extended bass response.
Mounting system for surface mount satellites provides secure mounting but allows for
wide-range of motion to adapt to any placement.
Easily
deta~hable wall bracket for wall mounting of subwoofer is included.
Attractive subwoofer design with full face grille.

Prior to wiring your system, select the mode of operation (100V/70V/4 ohm or 8 ohm stereo)
by setting the slider switch to the appropriate setting. Select taps using the rotary switch on
the subwoofer input panel. The power taps are 100 W, 50 W, 25 W, and 12.5 W at 70.7V and
100V,
as well as a 4 ohm transformer bypass setting. A guide on the input panel shows which

Troubleshooting
Possible Causes Action
Amplifier
Connect
a
known
working
test
speaker
to
the
amplifier
outputs.
If
there
is no sound, check all
electronics
are on,
the
signal
routing
is
correct,
the
source is active;
the
volume is
turned
up, and so on.
Correct/Repair/Replace
as
necessary.
If
there
is
sound,
the
problem
is
in
the
wiring.
Wiring
Verify you have
connected
the
correct
wire
pairs
to
the
amplifier.
Play
something
at
low
level
through
the
amplifier
(for
example,
from
a
CD
player
or
tuner).
Connect
the
test
speaker in parallel
with
the
malfunctioning
line.
If
the
sound has gone
or
is very weak,
the
line has
a
short
in
it
(possibly
a severe scrape, pinch,
or
staple
puncture).
If
the
sound
level
is
normal
the
wire
is open
(possibly
a
cut
wire
or
missed
connection).
Using
the
test
speaker, move
down
the
line and
test
each
connection/junction
until
you
find
the
problem
and
correct
it. Observe
proper
polarity.
Verify you have
the
inputs
and
outputs
connected
to
the
correct
wires.
If
the
subwoofer
input
panel is
not
correctly
wired,
there
will
be
little
or
no sound. Observe
proper
polarity.
