Electro-Voice®’s unique EVI Vari Intense® (VI) speakers are engineered to eliminate the need for additional long-throw horns or delayed sources in many rooms. The EVI Vari Intense® series provides an economical solution for permanent installations that require coverage over a rectangular area.
In a typical room, the distance from the loudspeaker to the last row is two or more times the distance to the front row, resulting in a substantial losses of level and intelligibility in the back. The VI horn delivers six to eight dB more SPL to the back of the room, overcoming level loss without resorting to the expense and complexity of additional systems or components. The problem is old; EV®’s solution is new. EVI is perfect for conference centers, houses-of-worship, halls, and other venues where evenly distributed SPL is essential. EVI systems are made of 18-mm 13-ply birch plywood (EVI 28: 12-mm, nine-ply), and texture-painted with a powder-coated, metal grille.
A simple three-two-one rule-of-thumb applies when determining EVI coverage patterns: A pattern’s width is equal to twice the height of the room, and a pattern’s length is equal to three times the height of the room.
