How to install Electro-Voice EVC-1082-96B

For safe, reliable installation of the Electro-Voice EVC-1082-96B, follow these general guidelines to achieve optimal coverage and performance in your space:

• Plan placement to achieve even coverage: identify primary listening areas and place the speaker at an height and angle that aligns the rotatable waveguide with the audience, ensuring clear speech intelligibility and balanced music playback across the room.
• Prepare the mounting surface: choose a sturdy wall or surface capable of supporting the speaker’s weight. Use appropriate wall anchors or brackets rated for the expected load, preferably securing to wall studs or structural members where possible.
• Connect wiring correctly: use appropriate gauge speaker wire, observe correct polarity, and route cables neatly to avoid interference or movement. If a transformer option is used, follow the transformer installation guidelines supplied with the accessory.
• Mount and align: affix the speaker to the wall bracket or mounting hardware, then adjust its orientation and rotation of the waveguide to fine-tune coverage. Tighten all fasteners securely to maintain position over time.
• Test and refine: power on the system and test with speech and music content. If you’re using the Automatic Saturation Control or a transformer option, configure those controls per your system requirements to maintain consistent output across different input levels.
