IDea EVO88-M Dual 8 Inch Active Line Array System User Guide

overview

EVO 88-M System is a multipurpose line-array cluster that can serve as a portable or installed FOH solution for medium to lar- ge venues and as ancillary side/down fill for lager PA systems, with a coherent, natural sound within the coverage area and superior power delivery in its category
EVO 88-M is an active line-array element that features a 1.2 kW Class-D Powersoft power module. One unit of self-powered EVO 88-M feeds one passive EVO 88-P, integrating a straight-

forward active system that optimises costs, setup and logistics. The HF assembly mounts a 3” compression driver and an IDEA proprietary Hi-Q waveguide allowing for minimum vertical gap between array elements providing optimum element coupling and reducing artifacts and DSP adjustments while providing optimum directivity control. For LMF section, EVO 88 elements mount dual very high-performance 8” woofers.

system configuration

The active EVO 88-M features a 1.2 kW Class-D amp and DSP power module by Powersoft so one EVO 88-M element can power another EVO 88-P in active system, as shown in the diagram, with the dedicated SpeakON NL-4 cable links included with every EVO 88-M. Depending on the scale of the application, a medium-sized EVO 88-M system can be easily split into sma- ller clusters for mobile and portable solutions.
Passive systems can be configured as factory ready with turn-key solutions for TEO d9 driven amps as well as top-tier third-party platforms.
