The EVID 3.2 and 4.2 full range models have accessory stands available which allow
them to mount vertically or horizontally on a shelf or other flat surface. In addition,
EVID 6.2 can be vertically mounted when using the appropriate stand.

set up an array?
The entire EVID full range line is particularly suited to work in an array format. There is
a line of accessory brackets, which allow the units to be easily mounted in this fashion.
The “AB” series array brackets allow you to mount and set up an array using the EVID
3.2, 4.2 & 6.2 full range units. They are available for the EVID 3.2, 4.2 and 6.2 models
and are available to cover 180 degrees or a full 360 degree installation. An adapter is
also included on the 6.2/4.2 bracket set to mount the array on a tripod support. See the
accessory list for configurations and pricing
The array can be suspended from a threaded rod or support pipe and then be positioned to
cover the listening area. In addition, the array brackets can be employed to offer bi-
directional coverage by positioning the assembly in the middle of the listening area to
cover the full length of a long confined space such as a hallway.

How can I easily mount the EVID 3.2 or 4.2 to the ceiling when
there is a standard 2’x2’ or 2’x4’ suspended ceiling present?

We suggest using an easily available ceiling clip for mounting the SAM bracket on a
suspended ceiling T-channel. The clip simply twists and locks around the ceiling grid
“T” channel and provides a stud to attach the bracket mounting plate. We recommend
using 2 per speaker. Make sure and position the clips near or directly beneath the grid
support wires to guard against a sagging ceiling. EV does not stock these adapters, but
they are available from a variety of lighting and hardware suppliers.

How do I install the 12.1?
The 12.1 offers a variety of mounting options right out of the box. The users guide
details each of these methods. Of particular interest is the flush mount configuration in a
suspended ceiling. The design of the 12.1 allows for flush mounting the unit in a 2x2
ceiling grid space. When doing this you cut two small ceiling panels from the 2x2 panel
you just removed to fill in on each side of the unit and attach the two wall “L” channels
to the sides of the 12.1. The panels you cut will fit into the spaces on both sides to
provide a nice fit and finish. The unit is supported from above via two eye bolts attached
to the back of the unit.
As always, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THE
STRENGTH OF THE BRACKET/BUILDING CONNECTION AND OF THE
STRENGTH OF THE BUILDING STRUCTURE!
