The Best Line Array For Limited Budgets.

The Expandable Vertical Array (EVA) series is a vertical line array with a unique, elegant system design that provides a simple solution for installed sound applications. EVA offers true line array performance and coherent far‑field summing from the patented Hydra plane wave generator. The internal, hidden rigging not only looks great, but also makes EVA incredibly easy to install. The sophisticated internal crossover lets you power up to eight EVA full‑range modules (16 line array elements) from a single amplifier channel, eliminating the need for external crossovers or DSP. The four full‑range modules in the series are complemented by two matching subwoofers that can be flown in the array. If you think that your budget isn't big enough for a great sounding line array, EVA may be just the answer you're looking for.

Series Highlights:

• High performance, cost‑effective
• Ideal for fixed installation line arrays
• Two array elements in each module

• High sensitivity (104 dB) for high output
• Super efficient: drive up to 8 boxes from a single amp channel
• Sixth-order passive crossover with HF protection
• Integrated hidden suspension hardware
• Choice of three finishes: indoor, PI and FG
• EVADA (EVA Design Assistant) software tool

The Electro-Voice Expandable Vertical Array (EVA) line-array modules represent an important step in line-array technology for small- and medium-scale fixed-installation sound reinforcement.

The four base models are designed to simplify the physical assembly of a line array. Also, arrays of EVA full-range modules are designed to be powered from one amplifier channel. Sophisticated passive networks provide the necessary crossover and EQ functions.

The individual loudspeaker drivers, Hydra™ waveform converters, acoustic waveguides, enclosures and rigging hardware were all designed specifically for the EVA product line. The goal is to achieve the highest acoustic output with the highest fidelity and produce a precise wavefront from each element to achieve state-of-the-art line-array performance.

The EVA subwoofer modules complement both the appearance and performance of the EVA full-range modules in applications where additional low-frequency output is required from a flown array.

EVA loudspeaker arrays present an affordable option for projects that require a line array approach, but have limited budgets. At the same time, the performance of fully passive EVA systems rivals that of more expensive and complex line arrays.

EVA was designed for outstanding sound quality with only minor equalization for room compensation, without any speaker-specific settings. But Electro-Voice also offers EVA loudspeaker settings that can be loaded into Dynacord amplifiers and processors by using SONICUE System Software. The settings add protective limiters to reduce the risk of loudspeaker failure, and allow higher drive levels.
