EVO55 System is a unique professional portable sound reinforcement solution that oer
excellent modularity and versatility.
The very compact 4-element array cluster (smaller than a typical 15” 2-way loudspeaker)
will always deliver SPL and coverage beyond the physical size of the system, while it can
be rigged and operated with minimal logistical resources. It can be pole mounted, stacked
and own very easily by only operator.
EVO55 loudspeakers features HF assembly with a 1.75” compression driver and a
proprietary wave-guide design and a dual-5” woofer conguration for the LF section. These
premium-quality, high-performance European transducers a dedicated passive crossover
lter allow for a natural, linear response throughout the useful frequency range spectrum
without any processing of the system.
The integrated weatherized steel rigging structure and stacking, transport and rigging
accessories make EVO55 a really plug-and-play system.

BASIC SYSTEM CONFIGURATION The active EVO55-M element features a 1.4
kW Class-D amp and DSP power module by
Powersoft so one EVO55-M element powers 3
EVO55-P elements, as shown in the diagram on
the left, with the dedicated SpeakON NL-4 cable
links included with every EVO55-M.
Depending on the scale of the application, a
medium-sized EVO55-M system can be easily
split into smaller clusters for mobile and portable
solutions.
Passive systems can be congured as factory
ready with TEOd8 driven amps.
