EVF full-range loudspeakers serve as mains to cover the room, with low-frequency support from EVF subwoofer. Ultra-compact EVU models function as fills to cover the front seats, and as delays for the rear of the room or under the balcony.

  • Excellent audio quality and efficiency, combining bi-amped EVF systems with C series amplifiers with FIR-Drive presets for performance optimization. Amps offer enough power for system expansion as needed (e.g. additional mains/fills)
  • Protection against excessive power and overheating through tour-grade circuitry in C series amps.
  • System and group control and supervision through easy-to-use system software.
