- Page 3 IT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE ANY PROTECTIVE GROUND OR SIGNAL CABLE SHIELD CONNECTIONS TO PREVENT GROUND LOOPS. ANY SUCH DISCONNECTIONS ARE OUTSIDE THE RECOMMENDED PRACTICE OF JBL PROFESSIONAL AND WILL RENDER ANY EMC OR SAFETY CERTIFICATION VOID. For continued compliance with international EMC legislation ensure that all input and output cables are wired with the cable screen connected to Pin 1 of the XLR connectors.
- Page 4 Thank you for purchasing an EVOi.324 Intelligent Powered Loudspeaker. Not only is this the most compact 1300 watt powered loudspeaker, it is also the world’s first loudspeaker with built-in intelligence. The integrated digital technology allows it to manage its own performance and through the use of the optional EVOi.net Speaker System Controller, adapt sonically to virtually any environment in which you place it.
- Page 5 The EVOi.324 has been designed specifically for fixed installation applications. EVO is intended to be used where high quality state-of-the-art sound reinforcement is required, in venues such as performing arts centers, worship spaces, educational multi-purpose rooms and other civic venues. It has been engineered to provide premium performance with minimal visual impact.
- Page 6 Located on the top (and bottom) is our standard JBL eyebolt system to accommodate ceiling attachment (and floor mounting system, see Foot Kit, page 19), when required. Each 14-inch, LF (Low Frequency) and LF/Mid carbon- fiber cone transducer features our patented dual-coil, dual- gap Neodymium Differential Drive (NDD™) technology...
- Page 7 EVOi.324’s design has been dedicated to applications requiring a permanent sound reinforcement solution. For a 1,300-watt Intelligent Powered Speaker System, it weighs only 65 pounds (29.5 kg) and stands barely 42” (1.07 meters) tall. Each EVOi.324 includes two digital amplifiers that are extremely efficient.
- Page 8 Power Input AC Main There are three simple audio hook-up options: all require the use of high quality balanced signal cable with a Male XLR connector. EVOi.324 requires a drive level of +10 dBu (sensitivity = +10 dBu assuming no external equaliza- tion has been applied to the signal) for maximum perfor- mance.
- Page 9 EVO Loudspeaker Systems have been optimized for small to mid-size venues, where a pair will sufficiently reinforce sound for an audience of up to five hundred people. They have been designed with specific applications in mind: schools and sports facilities; places of worship; and performance venues. Typically the program of events are quite varied and high quality reinforcement is required for speech, live music and recorded music playback.
- Page 10 The primary function of a sound reinforcement system is to make sure that all of the listeners in a given audience area are able to understand the speech and/or lyrics that are being reinforced. The intelligibility of a loudspeaker system is a measure of how “understandable”...
- Page 11 Placing this 80 x 80 speaker up in the air and pointing it towards an audience area will result in a defined area of coverage. Note that this area of coverage actually includes three different areas: an area of “optimized coverage” (black); an area of “reduced loudness”...
- Page 12 Once the optimum height of the EVO loudspeaker has been identified it needs to be aimed to achieve the desired coverage area. The point at which to aim is derived from a simple height-to-depth aiming ratio of 1:2. For example, if the EVOi.324 is installed at a height of 10’, it will “throw”...
- Page 13 The use of more than one EVOi.324 may be necessary in venues with extremely long listening areas. For example if the listening area is 120’ in depth and the required performance is for “Loud Playback Music” the Maximum Performance Guideline on page 10 indicates a maximum 20’...
- Page 14 As a guide this section provides some typical configurations for EVOi.324 installations, the approximate locations of each EVOi.324 and the aiming position in the room. Please note that when the installation requires the additional support of an auxiliary (Delay) EVOi.324s to cover larger listening areas, the use of EVOi.net is highly recommended as this will access the automated “delay-set”...
- Page 15 For a wider room or where a stereo program is required each EVOi.324 should be aimed according to the 1:3 “throw ratio” described in the previous section (page 8 & 9). In this example, the EVOi.324s are positioned 20’ high and aimed 40’ away. They will provide optimum coverage up to 60’...
- Page 16 In a wide room where a stereo program is not necessary the Main and Delay EVOi.324s can be configured into Arrays for broader coverage and supplied with a mono signal. (See page 10 for array specifics.) Figure 20 shows such an application. 0 ’...
- Page 17 Like the small rectangular room, a simple configuration of one EVOi.324 will provide enough coverage for the entire listening area. Stereo is not required, as this system is predominantly used to reinforce speech only. The EVOi.324 is positioned 20’ above the floor and aimed to a point 40’...
- Page 18 A larger version of the previous example, Figure 23, illustrates the positioning of two Delay EVOi.324s to cover the listening area that falls outside the optimum coverage of the Main EVOi.324 Array. 0 ’ = Listening Area * Use EVOi.net to set actual delay and level.
- Page 19 EVOi.324 is readily paintable. The SMC (Sheet Molded Compound) provides a lightly textured surface that any standard household or industrial paint readily adheres to. The result is a sound reinforcement system that is able to blend unobtrusively into the decor of its environment. 1.
- Page 20 Always consult a qualified person. WARNING !! Suspending this system should be done by qualified persons following safe rigging standards. For more information, please refer to the JBL Technical Note Volume 1, Number 14 – Basic Principles for Suspending Loudspeaker Systems.
- Page 21 The Foot Kit must be utilized if EVOi.324 is to be used “Free Standing”. It provides a much more stable base and also a mechanism that compensates for the shape and angle of the bottom of the enclosure. 2 x Small Rubber Feet 1 x Large Rubber Foot, threaded with nut 1 x Washer Remove suspension insert screws from the bottom of...
- Page 22 The EVOi.324 loudspeaker system has been precision engineered for optimum performance with a minimum of maintenance and outside intervention. The EVOi.324 speaker contains a high-powered amplifier system. Due to the remote locations likely for install, there is no power switch. Application of the AC Mains power will result in the EVOi.324 starting up and initializing (boot process takes about 20 seconds).
- Page 23 In the United States, the EVOi.324 is supplied with an Edison type plug. For other countries, the correct plug must be used in accordance with the local requirements. For Europe and the rest of the world the correct AC supply lead will be supplied.
