User manual ELECTRO-VOICE FORCE MONITOR DATASHEET

[. . . ] Force Monitor · 12-inch two-way high-output stage system · 150-watts continuous, 600-watts short-term power handling · 80° x 55° Constant-directivity CD horn · Super low profile cabinet design · Usable monitor angles of 50° and 65° · Integral 1 3/8-inch stand mount · Choice of paralleled 1/4-inch or Neutrik Speakon® (-E) connectors ® Description The Electro-Voice Force® Monitor is a highpeak output, high-efficiency super low profile two-way floor monitor. The Force® Monitor features a constant directivity 80° x 55° horn in a vertical orientation that provides usable monitor angles of 50° and 65°. [. . . ] However, this sort of short duration peak is very typical in speech and music. Provided the amplifier can reproduce the signal accurately, without clipping, the woofer will also perform accurately and reliably, even at these levels. Amplifier Recommendations The power-handling rating of the Force® Monitor is 150-watts continuous. The specific tests used employ a crest factor (ratio of peak energy to continuous energy) of at least 6 dB. During extended testing, the Force® Monitor is routinely subjected to peak levels far in excess of its continuous rating of 150 watts. Many amplifier designs are capable of producing peak power levels in excess of their ratings as well, so exact "pairing' of loudspeaker rating and amplifier ratings is not necessary. Amplifier continuous ratings of 150 watts to 300 watts into 8 ohms are suggested. Larger amplifier ratings are recommended for maxi- Force® Monitor mum dynamic range, but it should be recommended that amplifier continuous levels (as opposed to peak levels) be within the range quoted for the Force® Monitor long-term average power-handling rating.
