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.
