Page 6: Examples Of Configurations
Examples of configurations In these examples you can consider all EVO tops and EVOsubs models. Always use HPF preset for Top units when coupled to a subwoofer. - Page 7 2. Passive version (EVO8, EVO10, EVO12, EVO15, EVOSub15, EVOSub18) 1 : Rear serigraphic. 2 : Neutrik Speakon input/output connectors When linking identical speakers together (in parallel), the resulting impedance is divided by the quantity of speakers.

- Page 8 In that case, one amplifier is used for the Top units and another one for the Sub units. Filtering between Top and Sub will be made by an ADSP26 AudioFocus© processor or any active X-over. The best way to achieve optimal audio result is to use ADSP26 AudioFocus©...
- Page 9 3. Active Sub with auxiliary power outputs (EVOSub15a-Flex, EVOSub18a-Flex) The best way to have a compact ‘’plug and play’’ system is EVOSubXXa -Flex. It has exactly the same features than the EVOSubXXa, except that the amplifier module is a double one. So, EVOSubXXa -Flex includes auxiliary power outputs for Top units.
- Page 10 Examples of configurations - Never use stereo outputs and bridge output at the same time. - Always respect minimum impedance (4ohms for stereo outputs, 8ohms for the bridge output). - Coupling with other EVOSubXXa (normal active version) is possible. In that case, user must configure EVOSubXXa in Extended preset.
- Page 11 Multi diffusion high quality configurations Auxiliary power outputs can go down to 4ohms (stereo outputs). So, EVOsub15a-Flex and EVOsub18a-Flex can be used as managing system for fixed installations.
- Page 12 Accessories (not included - sold separately) This section describes different solutions for fixing system to truss or walls. The user should ALWAYS use safety ropes to secure the system.
