Electro-Voice EVC-1082 8-Inch Passive Speaker

The EVC-1082 from Electro-Voice is a 8” two-way passive speaker that can be used in a broad range of applications where wide bandwidth, vertical and horizontal directivity control, and high efficiency are required in a compact, versatile, and cost-effective package. The high frequency section of EVC loudspeakers comprises a single 1¼-inch pure titanium dome compression driver directly coupled to a rotatable constant directivity waveguide that delivers uniform pattern control and smooth, linear response. The low frequency section employs a high-output woofer that was developed using state-of-the-art, computer aided optimization to provide low distortion, high efficiency, and maximum intelligibility at high sound pressure levels. The passive crossover implements a modified fourth-order design with slopes of 24 dB per octave for smooth off axis response and improved definition through the critical vocal range.

About Passive Speakers at Sound Productions

Enjoy full flexibility and customization with passive speakers from Sound Productions! All speakers need a sort of amplifier to function; while powered speakers come with amplifiers built-in, passive speakers need external gear to be connected, including external amplifiers or stereo receivers, speaker cables, and possibly an outboard crossover or other signal processing gear.

Personalization is the hallmark of passive speakers. Mix-and-match components to fit the highly-specific needs of any given project. Scale to fit a larger space or add surround sound as your audio needs change. Because there’s more space inside passive speaker housing, passive speakers can accommodate larger drivers, resulting in a more pristine, accurate sound reproduction where it’s needed most, such as concert halls, entertainment venues, or special events.

Passive speakers are ideal for when you need flexibility and customization options. Often this means professional applications, such as venues where the sound system needs to be scalable and versatile, or for audio projects that require the most accurate and reliable sound reproduction.
