Installation and Wiring
The EVID™ mounting system has been
designed so that, if necessary, the installation
can be done from beneath the ceiling. In
some cases with a suspended ceiling grid,
however, it may be easier to access from both
the top and bottom of the ceiling tile during
the installation process. Typical installation
hardware needed for either suspended ceil-
ings or sheetrock ceilings is included. The
ceiling speaker assembly is held in place by
mounting tabs that securely grip the ceiling
material. Input wiring is attached to a remov-
able terminal block connector that can be
pre-wired if necessary before speaker installa-
tion to speed up the installation process.
Figure 4: Speaker mounting plate
RPK Series Kits
The RPK series rough-in kit contains a RR
series plate with a standard 2 gang electrical
box mounted on the top with an attached
short length of flexible conduit which con-
nects to the ceiling speaker conduit clamp on
the speaker’s rear terminal cover. This accesso-
ry allows for rigid conduit to be run to the box
on the rough-in plate before the speaker or
any sheetrock is installed. After the sheetrock
is installed the speaker can be wired up and
mounted all from below the ceiling. The RPK
mount system is shown in Figure 5.
INSTALLATION NOTE: USE OF OPTIONAL
ROUGH-IN ACCESSORIES
For most installations, no additional hard-
ware is needed. However, a two-step installa-
tion procedure that is sometimes used for
installation into sheetrock ceilings can be
made easier by the use of the optional RR
and RPK series of rough-in accessories
before the ceiling material is installed. The
rough-in accessories provide a cutout guide
when many holes are to be made in a pro-
duction-line style installation and to ensure
the speakers are positioned correctly as the
holes are cut in the sheetrock. Depending on
the requirements, two types of rough-in
accessories are available.
RR Series Mounting Plates
Figure 5: RPK mounting system
RR series plates are made of flat sheet metal
with holes to attach to the joists or trusses of a
building structure. The holes are drilled for
nails or screws at 16 inches (406 mm), 20
inches (508 mm) and 24 inches (610 mm) on-
center. The installer can drill other holes as
needed up to a maximum of 24-3/4 inches
(630 mm) apart. The sheetrock installs over
the plate, and the plate provides a template for
a blind cutout of the hole in the sheet rock.
The ceiling material is generally cut with a
router-type cutting tool, using the plate ring as
a cutout guide. The mounting plate is illustrat-
ed in Figure 4.
INSTALLATION NOTE: CONTROLLING
VIBRATION
Because of their high performance, EVID
ceiling loudspeakers can generate substantial
vibration, which can cause buzzing in loose
sections of the ceiling structure. Depending
on the character of the ceiling tile and relat-
ed components, dampening material may
need to be used under the tile rails or the
edges of the tiles to eliminate rattles.

Installation and Wiring
INSTALLATION NOTE:TILE RAILS AND
C-RING
Step 1: Cut the Hole (Figure 6)
For suspended tile or sheetrock ceilings, cut
out the hole either by tracing the cardboard
template or with a circular cutter set to the
appropriate cutout size. If the wire has been
pre-installed, pull the wiring through the
cutout hole.
Each speaker comes with two tile rails which
are designed to fit either standard 24-inch-
wide or 600-mm-wide tiles. It is important to
note that the tile rail pieces do not actually
attach to the T-grid struts. The ends of the
rails sit OVER the T-grid strut. Normally, the
tile supports the rails. The tile rails are pre-
punched at regular intervals with holes along
their length. This allows the C-ring to be posi-
tioned at any point along the rail. If the tile
comes out or falls apart, the ends of the sup-
port rails fall onto the T-grid, which prevents
the speaker assembly from falling.
Figure 6: Cut ceiling hole
Always use all included support hardware
when installing into suspended ceiling tiles
to make sure the installation is secure.
For sheetrock ceiling installations, the C-
ring should be used by itself to reinforce the
ceiling material and to spread out the pres-
sure from the speaker hold-down tabs.
Guide the C-ring through the cut hole in the
ceiling, and place it on the back side of the
hole before inserting the speaker.
Step 2: Install C-Ring and/or Tile
Rails (Figure 7)
All EVID speakers come packaged with two
types of backing hardware: a C-ring and two
tile rails.
For suspended ceiling installations, insert
the C-ring through the hole cut in the ceiling
tile. Place the C-ring around the hole with
the tabs located as shown in Figure 7. Insert
the tile rails through the cut hole in the ceil-
ing tile. Snap the two rails into the two tabs
in the C-ring and align the rails so that the
ends extend OVER the T-channel grid on the
side of the tile. Secure the rails onto the C-
ring tabs by inserting a screw though each
tab into the rail, as shown in Figure 7.
Step 3: Attach Wiring to the
Terminal Connector (Figure 8)
Insert the bare end of wire into the appro-
priate connector terminals as described
below and screw down the hold-down
screw until tight, using a small screwdriver.

Installation and Wiring
INSTALLATION NOTE: CONNECTOR
WIRING GUIDELINES
The input connector’s 4 terminals are num-
bered and marked on the connector. Pins 1 and
2 are positive (+); pins 3 and 4 are negative (–).
(Pin 1 is connected to Pin 2 and Pin 3 is con-
nected to Pin 4 inside the speaker.) Pins 1 and
4 are used as daisy-chain connections to other
loudspeakers. Two possible layouts for wiring a
group of speakers are described below.
1. Wiring in parallel. Connect the wire
pair of the subsequent speaker to pins 2 and
3. When one input connector is removed,
subsequent speakers will remain connected.
See Figure 9.

2. Daisy-chaining. Connect the wire pair
of the subsequent speaker to pins 1 and 4.
When one input connector is removed, sub-
sequent speakers will also be disconnected.

POLARITY
Figure 13: Plug connector into socket
When adding a subwoofer, be sure to observe
the correct polarity. The C10.1 subwoofer has
been designed for optimum performance
when used with the C4.2. In order to maxi-
mize the low frequency output when used
with the C8.2, C8.2LP or C8.2HC, the polarity
of the C10.1 subwoofer should be reversed.
See Figures 11 and 12.
Step 4: Secure the Cable to the
Speaker (Figure 14)
Fully loosen the horizontal screw shown in
Figure 13, then the strain relief screws. Run
the wires through the opening in the fitting
and plug the input connector into the speak-
er’s terminal block. Then tighten the strain
relief fitting as follows:

Installation and Wiring
1. If plenum cable is used, slide the wiring
through the strain relief fitting on the termi-
nal cover plate (Figure 14). Hold the strain
relief fittings tight around the cable. Tighten
the strain relief screws first, then the hori-
zontal screw. In the cases of insulated
speaker wire and plenum cable, it is often
possible to provide acceptable strain relief
force by simply tightening the strain relief
screws onto the terminal cover plate.
INSTALLATION NOTE: CEILING TILE
CAUTION
When mounting the units into 2'×2' or 2'×4'
suspended ceiling tiles, DO NOT install them
in lightweight fibreglass-type tiles without
full secondary support for the speaker as
noted in Step 6. Such tiles are not designed
to support any substantial weight. Speaker
installation without secondary support will
cause the tile to sag and distort, even with
the tile bridge installed. The secondary sup-
port line at the rear of the speaker MUST be
strung taut in these situations and MUST
remove most of the force of the speaker on
the tile to ensure that the speaker does not
deform the tile.
Step 5: Mount the Speaker Into
the Ceiling (Figure 16)

Push the speaker into
the ceiling hole until
the front baffle rim is

Some cases require alternate fittings, many of
which are available through most electrical
suppliers. Simply remove the existing fitting
by unscrewing the two hold-down screws,
exposing a 7/8-inch (22 mm) knockout hole.
Then install the alternate fitting. Make sure to
always use a listed fitting in accordance with
your area’s building codes and regulations.

Step 6: Connect an Auxiliary
Support Line (Figure 18)
Note the support ring on the back of the
speaker. The ring allows for connection to a
independent and secure anchor point.
Construction codes often require the use of
this secondary support point.
Step 8: Attach the Grille (Figure 20)
INSTALLATION NOTE:
GRILLE SAFETY FEATURE
EVID grilles features a unique safety tether
to prevent the grille from falling if the grille
is removed or comes loose after installation.
First, install the grille’s safety tether by
pushing the grille fastener into the hole in
the front of the baffle (see Figure 20).
Second, press the grille into place until the
front of the grille is flush with the rim of
the baffle. Make sure the grille is securely
seated to prevent it from vibrating loose.
If you need to remove the grille, the easiest
way is to insert two bent paper clips or other
pointed objects into holes in the grille, then
apply slow even pressure to pull down on the
grille until that section of the grille comes out
slightly. Continue the same procedure around
the perimeter of the grille, loosening a por-
tion at a time until the grille is removed.
Figure 18: Attach auxiliary support line
Step 7: Adjust Tap Selector
(Figure 19)
The tap selector switch is located on the
front baffle. Adjust the speaker to the appro-
priate tap setting before installing the grille.
In some 70V/100V constant voltage installa-
tions it is advisable to leave the grilles off if
final speaker audio level balance adjust-
ments are to be made later. After the levels
are adjusted the grilles can then be installed.

Appendix A — Painting the Speaker
If the speaker is installed in an area where
the interior design requires a color match,
these speakers are simple to paint. The
speakers can accommodate almost any type
of latex or oil-based paint. The bezel/rim
can be painted before installation or after
mounting into the ceiling.
Painting Process
Clean the rim and grille with mineral spirits
or other light solvent. Do not use harsh sol-
vents such as gasoline, kerosene, acetone, or
other chemicals. If you use these cleaners
you may permanently damage the enclosure.
Also, don’t use abrasives products such as
sandpaper or steel wool.
Either by rolling or spraying, apply two or
more thin coats of paint. If you are spraying,
hold the spray can at the angles shown in
Figure 21.

If you are painting the grille also, you
must first remove the internal grille cloth.
Spray painting is strongly recommended. If
the grille is rolled or brush painted, the
grille may become clogged with paint and
the sound quality will suffer. After the paint
has dried, replace the internal grille cloth.
If you wish to paint the speaker along
with the ceiling after installation, insert a
plastic or cardboard paint shield into the
front of the speaker to mask the drivers and
internal baffle, paint the speaker, then
remove the shield.

however, allow for far more flexible options.
Selecting and Positioning
Ceiling Loudspeakers
Several key criteria determine the type and
quantity of ceiling speakers to employ in a
job. Specific EVID™ Ceiling Series models
accommodate each job, depending on how
these criteria are specified.
• Room size
• Coverage density desired
• Coverage angle specification of the speaker
• Ceiling height
• Audio program material being played
The information below, and the free design
program downloadable from www.electro-
voice.com (under downloads/speakers), will
help you optimize your EVID design.
In the traditional approach to overhead-
distributed systems, loudspeakers are placed
in a grid whose dimensions are dictated by
the room height and the directivity of the
speaker elements. Two basic placement pat-
terns prevail: square spacing and hexagonal
(or crisscross) spacing. See Figure 22.
In many cases, you can achieve excellent
results — at a significant savings — by using 4-
inch transducers. This is especially true in jobs
that do not require extended low-end
response or high SPL levels. 4-inch transduc-
ers, such as those used in the C4.2, offer wider
dispersion to allow for fewer speakers to be
employed in the job. For example, due to its
smaller cone diameter, the C4.2 exhibits signif-
icantly wider dispersion (130 degrees) than
the C8.2 (110 degrees) at the -6 dB points.
The effect of this characteristic on an over-
head system is indicated in Figure 23. In
replacement applications where existing
speaker positions are used, the C4.2 (shown in
angle A) offers greater overlap and, thus, more
uniform coverage than an older conventional
8-inch unit (shown in angle B). When specify-
ing a new system, you can take advantage of
the C4.2’s wider dispersion to decrease the
number of speakers required to cover a given
area. This will result in even greater savings.

Figure 23: Size vs. coverage
Of course, the C4.2 is somewhat less sensi-
tive than the 8-inch C8.2. The difference is
–5 dB. The C4.2 will also have slightly

reduced low-frequency capabilities below 65
Hz. However, neither of these factors is a sig-
nificant problem in many distributed systems.
The C4.2 is conservatively rated to handle 80
watts of continuous power equal to or greater
than most other brands of 8-inch units, so its
continuous SPL output will be more than ade-
quate. Moreover, its low-frequency output
can easily be augmented with the addition of
the C10.1 subwoofer. For these reasons, the
C4.2 represents a great way for you to pro-
vide good audio coverage while maintaining
a competitive edge in price quotes in installa-
In addition to the spacing pattern, the
designer must choose between three cover-
age density types, designated respectively
as edge-to-edge, minimum overlap and cen-
ter-to-center. The greater the overlap, the
more uniform the coverage. The illustration
below shows these various layout patterns.
Ceiling Systems: Size vs. Coverage
In the past, system designers usually specified
8-inch cone loudspeakers for distributed over-
head systems, at least in part because they rep-
resented the traditional choice. EVID systems,

tions that do not need the extended perform-
ance of the larger models.
Use of Subwoofers
The C10.1 subwoofer can add considerable
low-frequency performance to any EVID
installation. It is important to note that the
C10.1 subwoofer depends on the ceiling
and walls to properly load itself and to rein-
force its bass output. Correct positioning is
important to get maximum impact.
In smaller rooms when a single C10.1 is
used, a center or near-center position is
best. This gives the most even coverage. For
larger rooms where more than one C10.1
are employed, the added effect of the
room’s walls can be used. In such a space,
position the subwoofers evenly throughout
the room and a few feet from the wall or
corners. The added loading of the walls will
enhance the response in these larger areas.
Reverberant Rooms
and High Ceilings
Situations arise, however, in which con-
trolled coverage is more desirable than
broad dispersion. Very large live spaces
such as gymnasiums, convention centers,
shopping mall atriums, and the like all ben-
efit from more controlled sound projection.
In such installations, the EVID 8.2HC is the
best choice. Its 75-degree coverage pattern
above 1kHz provides more intelligibility in
large, acoustically live spaces. It also has a
high 93dB sensitivity rating for optimum
efficiency.
SPL Requirements: How Loud?
The EVID C8.2 is a great speaker to use
when higher SPL is required. The fidelity
and bandwidth of the unit is substantial and
is ideal for applications requiring high quali-
ty foreground music reproduction. The C8.2
has substantial low frequency energy down
below 60Hz. This is more than sufficient for
most applications.
Layout: How Many?
The chart below shows the effective cover-
age diameter of the EVID models assuming a
4-foot listening plane height. Using these fig-
ures you can lay out a coverage pattern for
the job after deciding the overlap criteria
described earlier on page 10.
