Electro-Voice has launched the EVIVA family of portable powered loudspeakers suitable for houses of worship, small venues and startup production and rental companies.
The range comprises the 12-in EVIVA 12P and 15-in EVIVA 15P 2-way loudspeakers, and the EVIVA 18SP 18-in subwoofer. To ensure performance, the 2-way models rely on a custom-designed, high-energy neodymium high frequency compression driver, as well as Electro-Voice’s patented SST (Signal Synchronised Transducers).
Both the EVIVA 12P and EVIVA 15P offer a 90° x 60° (horizontal x vertical) coverage pattern, delivering even sound across the audience area. The 12-in EVIVA 12P has a frequency range of 50 Hz – 20 kHz (-10 dB) and a maximum SPL of 125 dB. The 15-in EVIVA 15P has a wider frequency range of 45 Hz – 20 kHz (-10 dB) and has a higher maximum SPL of 126 dB. Supplementing the low frequencies is the EVIVA 18SP which takes the frequency response down to 38 – 200 Hz (-10 dB) and has a maximum SPL of 132 dB.
The 12-in and 15-in 2-way full range models with robust composite enclosures and the 18-in plywood subwoofer all feature a 1000 W amplifier with 2-channel analog input section. The intuitive control comes with gain knobs for level adjustment and switches for mode changes between Music and Live. With the 12P and 15P there are also switches for high pass changes between No Sub and With Sub EVIVA 18SP, while with the 18SP there are switches for low pass between 100 Hz EVIVA 12P/15P and 150 Hz, and polarity between Normal and Reverse. The loudspeakers feature an auto-switching universal 100 V ~ 240 V mains voltage input and are powered via an IEC mains input.
The EVIVA family offers industry standard connectivity to make setting up any gig as fast as possible. The EVIVA 18SP offers two XLR/TRS combo jack line inputs as well as a pair of XLR pass throughs. Meanwhile the EVIVA 12P and EVIVA 15P are equipped with two XLR/TRS combo jack mic/line inputs, an XLR mix output, and Bluetooth audio streaming with switchable mono/stereo mix output.
EVIVA 12P weighs 12 kg, while the larger EVIVA 15P is 14.6 kg and the EVIVA 18P subwoofer is 30.7 kg.
