  • Page 3: Product Description

    Utilizing a 65° x 65° high frequency horn and a unique 2-element vertical midbass array, Sx600 gives you the clarity of a direct radiator with the high SPL and directivity of a properly designed horn system, especially in the important vertical plane.

  • Page 5: System Acoustic Design Considerations

    Resonant systems suffer from poor time domain response and, as a consequence, can have poor intelligibility. The EV solution is to combine a two element critically spaced midbass line array with ultra-efficient neodymium magnetics. This produces the high SPL...

    4 per bracket minimum. (all 6 is recommended) When mounting outdoors, remember to allow for wind, snow and ice load. Do not locate the Sx600 where it may be subjected to water or snow run-off from roofs, gut- ters, etc. NEVER MOUNT AN Sx600 ON ITS SIDE.

  • Page 7: Pole Mounting

    Figure 2: Pole Mounting Block Wall Mounting Do not attempt to mount an Sx600 to a block or brick wall without through- bolts and large, heavy steel backing plates on both sides of the wall. On poured concrete walls use deep ½ inch diameter anchors that cannot be pulled out once set.

  • Page 8: Stud Wall Mounting

    Stud Wall Mounting First determine whether the structural members in the wall can withstand not only the weight of the Sx600, but also the side-to-side stresses of heavy cross-winds. Reinforce both sides of the wall with heavy plates, ¾ inch marine plywood minimum, and use through bolts.

  • Page 9: Installation Procedure

    While the SuperSAM distributes weight evenly over a rela- tively large area, strong winds against the side of the Sx600 will exert signifi- cant crowbar-like leverage between the bolts and the side corner edges of the bracket. For this reason, surfaces of plaster, drywall, soft wood, cinder...

    70volts to 200volts means you can now pull approximately 3 times the wattage from the same wiring! In new installations, the higher voltages mean less line loss on long runs, less current and lighter gauge wire. Always check and comply with all applicable codes. Electro-Voice Sx600 User Manual...
  • Page 11 Selecting Wattage Taps The Sx600 is intended to be a high level speaker, so the transformer taps are set up to produce a full 600 watts at each of the 4 voltages listed. If necessary, the wattage may be halved by selecting the next HIGHER volt- age tap.
