They employ extended-length voice coils for high-impact reproduction of dynamic low-frequency program. All woofers feature proprietary heat-transfer systems for unmatched power capacity and reliability. Kevlar®-fiber-composite cones are used to provide structural strength to resist collapse during explosive dynamic peaks and to provide internal mechanical damping to minimize resonances that can change the character of the sound at high levels. DL and EVX woofers are made of cast aluminium frames with push terminals, and all feature Ring-Mode DecouplingTM (RMDTM) except for the DL18MT and the EVX180B.

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. Thus the display on the screen is not only the electrical filter response but, for the first time, the actual true acoustic response of the component!Any change of parameter values is visible and audible in real time. An additional tool is the SPL dispersion window for lower frequencies. Presets can even be prepared off-line in advance and need only a little tweaking once speakers are in place. RACE enables engineers to seamlessly integrate room influence, speaker positioning and parameter settings and a RACE Processed Preset is a guarantee for a solid, accurate basis from which to begin system tuning. EV is supplying these presets for all current EV speaker systems, even if the needed combination is not part of the 50-factory preset of the Dx38. Signal Flow Diagram The signal flow diagram provides a clear overview of all available parameters. Immediately after the input metering there are five master equalizers per input available. Each of these filters can be set as hi- or lo-pass (6dB/12dB-Peaking), hi- or lo-shelf (6/12dB) or as a fully parametric eq. Each activated filter is signaled by a green LED symbol. Each input, or the sum of both inputs, can be delayed separately up to 900ms with the master delay. The fully flexible routing allows each input as well as the sum to be routed to any of the four outputs. [. . . ] Question: "Which system is needed when the distance to the audience and the target SPL is known?" Helpful when the install position of the speakers is known and a pre-defined SPL is required. Solution: Inverse square law of a point source (-6dB when doubling the distance) helps to define the loss in SPL at a distance of X meters. The pre-determined SPL at listening level (the audience) should be 100 dB. The loss in SPL after 50 meters is approx. [. . . ]
