Consideration for weatherized design
6.1
IP (Ingress Protection)
MTS models are finished with EVCoat. Grilles are equipped with a water-repellent backing and
the gland nut cover, when properly installed, will seal the input cup against water and dust
ingress.
ALL MTS Models are rated at IP55, assuming a 5° down-tilt.
Partially Weatherized (PW) models must be installed under a roof or canopy with no
continuous direct exposure to wind, rain, and sunshine.
Fully Weatherized (FW) models may be installed in locations with full exposure to the
elements.
6.2
Drain holes
The MTS fully weatherized models have optional drain holes on the bottom of the enclosure.
The drain hole design discharges any water that accumulates over time.
Electro-Voice recommends that the installer opens the drain holes for applications in which
MTS loudspeakers will be directly exposed to precipitation.
Notice!
i
Opening the drain holes may cause minor air noises close to the loudspeaker that are
inaudible at normal listening distances.
Warning!
Never use the M8 drain holes to suspend the loudspeaker.
