Electrovoice evid c12.2 Release Note

 

 

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 
speakers for private residences to big bars like 5

th

 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
