IDea EVO55-M Dual 5 Inch Active Line Array System User Guide

overview

EVO 55 System 4-element line-array cluster is a unique profes- sional install sound reinforcement solution that offers excellent modularity and versatility.
This very compact 4-element array cluster (smaller than a typi- cal 15” 2-way loudspeaker) will always deliver SPL and coverage beyond the physical size of the system, while it can be rigged and operated with minimal logistical resources. It can be pole mounted, stacked and flown very easily by only operator.
EVO 55 elements features HF assembly with a 1” compres- sion driver and a proprietary wave-guide design and a dual-5”

woofer configuration for the LF section. These premium-quality, high- performance European transducers a dedicated passive crossover filter allow for a natural, linear response throughout the useful frequency range spectrum without any processing of the system.
The integrated weatherised steel rigging structure and stacking, transport and rigging accessories make EVO 55 System a really plug-and-play professional sound reinforcement solution

system configuration

The active EVO 55-M element features a 1.4 kW Class-D amp and DSP power module by Powersoft so one EVO 55-M element powers 3 EVO 55-P elements, as shown in the diagram on the left, with the dedicated SpeakON NL-4 cable links included with every EVO 55-M.
Depending on the scale of the application, a medium-sized EVO 55-M system can be easily split into smaller clusters for mobile and portable solutions.
