System overview

Model Summary

EVID C4.2

Perfect for conventional rooms. It has excellent bandwidth in an esthetically very unobtrusive

installation profile. Its compact design fits in tight areas. Its 4-inch woofer and waveguide-

coupled, titanium-coated dome tweeter give smooth, wide frequency response. The enclosure

is ported and tuned to provide surprising bass response in such a compact package. Features

an easy 3-point mounting system for quick installations.

EVID C8.2

The C8.2 has a specially tuned enclosure and 8-inch woofer to provide amazing bass response.

The 1-inch waveguide-coupled tweeter gives smooth controlled coverage out to 20 kHz.

Perfect for installations where a flush-mount design is desired but demand for high-quality

audio exists. Features a 4-point mounting system to make installations fast and easy.

EVID C8.2LP

The C8.2LP is the same as the C8.2 but in a low-profile installation package. Ideal for tight

ceiling spaces.

EVID C8.2HC

The EVID C8.2HC is ideal for high ceilings and reverberant “problem” rooms. Its exclusive

ported, waveguide-coupled, 8-inch driver provides excellent intelligibility and definition. The

8.2HC’s patent pending design provides great coverage control throughout the voice range

and above. No other ceiling speaker system provides the combination of excellent pattern

control, wide bandwidth, high power handling, and compact design like the C8.2HC.

EVID C10.1

The C10.1 packs a 10-inch subwoofer in a tuned high performance enclosure to give amazing

low frequency performance down to 45 Hz! It is one of the few quick-mount ceiling TRUE

subwoofers available. Flexible installation and powerful low-end performance make it the ideal

mate to any EVID ceiling model.

Electro-Voice Installation Manual 2016.05 | 09 | F.01U.177.705

Installation and Wiring

The EVID mounting system has been designed so that, if necessary, the installation can be

done from beneath the ceiling. In some cases with a suspended ceiling grid, however, it may

be easier to access from both the top and bottom of the ceiling tile during the installation

process. Typical installation hardware needed for either suspended ceilings or sheetrock

ceilings is included. The ceiling speaker assembly is held in place by mounting tabs that

securely grip the ceiling material. Input wiring is attached to a removable terminal block

connector that can be prewired if necessary before speaker installation to speed up the

installation process.

INSTALLATION NOTE: USE OF OPTIONAL ROUGH-IN ACCESSORIES

For most installations, no additional hardware is needed. However, a two-step installation

procedure that is sometimes used for installation into sheetrock ceilings can be made easier

by the use of the optional RR and RPK series of rough-in accessories before the ceiling

material is installed. The rough-in accessories provide a cutout guide when many holes are to

be made in a production-line style installation and to ensure the speakers are positioned

correctly as the holes are cut in the sheetrock. Depending on the requirements, two types of

rough-in accessories are available.

RR Series Mounting Plates

RR series plates are made of flat sheet metal with holes to attach to the joists or trusses of a

building structure. The holes are drilled for nails or screws at 16 inches (406 mm), 20 inches

(508 mm) and 24 inches (610 mm) on-center. The installer can drill other holes as needed up

to a maximum of 24-3/4 inches (630 mm) apart. The sheetrock installs over the plate and the

plate provides a template for a blind cutout of the hole in the sheet rock. The ceiling material

is generally cut with a router-type cutting tool, using the plate ring as a cutout guide.

Figure 4: Speaker mounting plate

RPK Series Kits

The RPK series rough-in kit contains a RR series plate with a standard 2 gang electrical box

mounted on the top with an attached short length of flexible conduit which connects to the

ceiling speaker conduit clamp on the speaker’s rear terminal cover. This accessory allows for

rigid conduit to be run to the box on the rough-in plate before the speaker or any sheetrock is

installed. After the sheetrock is installed the speaker can be wired up and mounted all from

below the ceiling.
