180 ° Array Bracket Kit
AB-32 and AB-62 series kits feature a 2 sided powder
coated steel mounting assembly that allows the mount-
ing of 2 EVID speakers into a 180°pattern array con-
figuration. The AB-32 works with the EVID 3.2 series
and can be used with a threaded rod for suspension
from the ceiling. The AB-62 allows the EVID 4.2 or 6.2
series speakers to be used with a speaker stand tripod
or hung from the ceiling utilizing a threaded rod as shown.
The EVID’s position can then be adjusted using the
Strong Arm Mount™ to cover a variety of patterns to
best serve the installation requirements.
All assembly hardware is included in packaging.

Suspension Safety Warning
This guide provides instruction on how to use EVID components to create example arrays. Correct use of this
hardware is required for secure array construction. Only persons with the knowledge of proper hardware and safe
suspension techniques should attempt to suspend any sound systems overhead. CAUTION! The weakest
component determines the size and safety of the entire array. Before suspending any array always inspect all
components of the array including building structural supports for cracks, deformations, corrosion or damage that
could reduce strength and safety of the array.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that any Electro-Voice loudspeaker system is suspended overhead in
accordance with all current federal, state, and local regulations.
