Compression drivers are the most difficult audio transducers to design. Their unique requirements call for ultraprecise tolerances, state-of-the-art modeling routines, and exceptionally talented engineering expertise. Manufacturing techniques are frequently pushed to process limits, and materials are formed and stabilized with cutting-edge systems and controls. Each EV compression driver's parameters are tightly controlled to ensure world-class performance, thus putting the drivers at the top of their class in every respect.

For the first time, horn coverage angles were truly uniform over a wide frequency range. In the HP series, unique beamwidth-control vanes within the horn throat form a waveguide that eliminates the narrowing of coverage angle ­ beaming ­ that occurs in other 2-inch-throat horns. EV's patented TransplanarTM design provides exceptionally smooth frequency response. HP horns or variants thereof are used throughout the EV speaker system lines. Each HP horn features an integral die-cast metal throat encapsulated in the fiberglass sidewalls. This unitized construction provides very high strength and low weight.

It has a mono sum of both input channels to maximize flexibility. Two configuration modes allow clearer handling for different qualified users. 30 user memories and 50 factory presets can be managed. The Dx38 comes with a detailed manual plus RACE software which includes current EV speaker and amp data. Digital Sound System Processor Dx38 sets standards for digital loudspeaker controllers and processors, providing 48-bit filter algorithms, 24-bit AD/DA conversion and a dynamic range of 115 dB. Dx38 can be used in networks of up to 31 controllers with a maximum networking distance of 1. 000 meters. [. . . ] Electro-Voice was the first manufacturer to use neodymium-based magnet structures (N/DYM®) in its microphones, thus achieving higher output and condenser-like qualities such as crystal clarity and reliable performance. ElectroVoice's goals in developing microphone technologies have always been the same: providing highest sound quality, achieving better and more comfortable handling for the user, and continuing the company's tradition of legendary reliability and warranty support. Its long list of patents attests to its success in meeting these goals. Normal mic Variable-D® mic VOBTM Electro-Voice's unique VOBTM technology (Vocal-Optimized Bass) reduces low-frequency distortion in the microphone's output. Critical damping of the low-frequency resonant peak results in a microphone that replaces the "muddiness" found in competitive models with greater warmth and increased vocal intelligibility. [. . . ]
