Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends that loudspeakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance with all such requirements.
Precautions These Electro-Voice loudspeakers were designed for use in an environment with ambient temperatures between -20°C (-4°F) and +50°C (122°F). These Electro-Voice loudspeakers are not rated for continuous outdoor conditions. However, they may be exposed to occasional short-term rain, water, or high humidity.
The resulting coverage characteristic ensures a well-defined rectangular listening area, and the more gradual intensity change compensates for the drop in SPL over the longer distance to the back of the room. The 2018.01 | 01 | F.01U.345.997 Installation manual Electro-Voice...

It denotes the number and diameter of the woofers, the number of passbands, the coverage pattern, and the enclosure color. For example, the EVC-1122-VIB employs a single 12-inch woofer in a two-way configuration with our unique, compound, Variable Intensity waveguide, and is finished in black EVCoat.
The tilt angle should be entered in degrees, but the mounting height can be in either English or metric units. Vertical aiming has no material effect on horizontal coverage over the audience area.

Check for continuity at the loudspeaker inputs. Once you are on site and the loudspeakers are connected, it is a good idea to check again for continuity at the power-amplifier end of each cable run. Electro-Voice Installation manual 2018.01 | 01 | F.01U.345.997...
