Electro-Voice Gladiator Series User manual

The Electro-Voice®Gladiator G115 and G118 are
designed to reproduce the latest music. The perfect
system for mobile DJ’s... powerful,
extended LF response coupled with EV’s
great HF and unmatched vocal clarity
due to RMD™(Ring-Mode Decoupling).
The newly developed EV-Series woofers and crossover
networks reliably produce very high SPL’s all night.
Roadwood enclosures, steel grilles, high impact corners,
and comfortable handles complete the package for years of
reliable service.
EV’s innovative system design allows one amplifier
channel to drive both the sub and the full-range speaker.
No additional crossovers or amps required for a true 3-way
system.
The EV Q66 amplifier, with up to 850W per channel, is the
perfect amp for a stereo 3-way rig with one G118 and one
G115 per side.
