Electro-Voice EVID C8.2HC Release Note

ELECTRO-VOICE® EVID™ LOUDSPEAKERS INSTALLED AT
DETROIT'S COMERICA PARK STADIUM
Detroit, MI (August 21, 2003): Dearborn Michigan's Almas Hi-Fi Stereo
recently completed an extensive installation of Electro-Voice EVID 6.2
loudspeakers, 12.1 subwoofers and CPS1 amplifiers at 5th Avenue, a
sports bar and restaurant located at Detroit's new Comerica Park baseball
stadium, home of the Detroit Tigers. Almas' president Gary Weigandt
discussed his company's history with Electro-Voice and how EVIDs have
provided a contemporary sound solution at the new ballpark:
"Our current work with the EVID line is a new chapter in our company's
long history with Electro-Voice equipment. Almas has been a family
company since my grandfather founded it in the 1940s, starting out in the
commercial audio field before going into the residential marketplace with a
retail store in 1956. Today I run the company with my two brothers.
Almas reentered the commercial end of the business while maintaining its
residential business in the late 1980s. Electro-Voice equipment played a
big part in the early success of the company, and has proven just as
useful in our current commercial installation work – particularly the EVIDs."
Almas signed back on with Michigan based EV reps RP Sales, Inc. when
the EVID was released, convinced the compact surface mount speaker
system would provide state of the art sound and style in a variety of pro
audio applications, especially in the booming bar/restaurant installation
field. Weigandt continued: "Since then we've completed 5 or 6 jobs with
the EVID line. We use them in a number of applications, from outdoor
th
speakers for private residences to big bars like 5 Avenue. They're a
great, versatile speaker, and the CPS amplifiers and 12.1 subs complete
the picture nicely, giving a comprehensive system that has all the bases
