P Series Power Amplifiers from Electro-VoiceUnique EV Modular Power Amplifiers Feature
Plug-In(s) for Maximized Product Performance December 4, 2001
Electro-Voice was displaying a new line of power amplifiers, the P Series, at this fall's AES. Built on the rugged, dependable and high-end Precision Series amplifiers, the P Series brings well-researched and flexible custom modules to a variety of applications. State-of-the-art audio performance with a complete safety/protection package makes the line the utmost in flexibility, whether the application is local hire, installation or MI. Building on past EV amplifier designs, the P1201 and P1202 feature unique plug-in modules specifically designed to complement EV speakers. The P Series is perfect for permanent installations as well as MI applications. All P amplifiers feature modular In/Out panels for future options and inputs on XLR with slave out(s). The standard versions, P1201 and P1202, feature XLR and Neutrik Speakon connections, while the contractor versions, P1201i and P1202i, are equipped with Phoenix and barrier strips.
The P Series, with appropriate, customized modules, allows maximum performance from the FRi, FQRX, Xi, QRx and other EV loudspeakers. All modules feature level control, input/signal present LED, voice-coil-protection, mode switch (FR/Mid-Hi) with status LED and Mid-EQ for customer selection between flat or dip.
The various custom modules available for the P Series fit a number of current EV loudspeaker product offerings. The dual-channel version, P1202, can be used in stereo or mono mode (2 x 600-watt into 4 ohms); the two front-face slots are available with modules that feature filters and crossovers specifically designed for EV loudspeakers such as the newly introduced QRx Series. The P1202 operates two separate signals (slot A & B) or the same signal in both channels (slot A only). Available in two-way set-up for the QRx Series, the P1202 is the perfect companion to the QRx118S or QRx112/75.
The P1201 is designed to be used as a mono power block (1 X 1200-watt into 4 ohms) that can generate a mono sum (A + B).
All P amplifiers feature LPN filters and crossovers, thus preventing the "sloppiness" associated with driving a transducer. Set-up proves to be a breeze; no more researching user manuals or engineering data sheets for optimal settings, and the P Series' various modules are available to provide maximized performance. With the P, you are guaranteed exemplary sound quality, with easy, quick and cost-effective modifications possible to best suit your individual needs.
Used in conjunction with EV's new QRx Series, P amplifiers provide total modularity. Positioned to bridge high-end MI with contracting, the QRx Series is portable and flexible enough to be used in many high-end DJ and small regional live performances, and it is equipped and precise enough for use in many fixed installation projects where direct radiating two-ways are appropriate. With this in mind, EV QRx Series top boxes come complete as portable or fixed install "ready-to-hang" cabinets with Safe-Grip handles, standard pole mount and L-track, top and bottom. Additionally, all QRx Series top-boxes are passive or biampable with a secure external switch on the back of the box for the selection of passive or biamp mode. EV has also built high-frequency driver protection right into the crossover! With the flexibility of EV's modular P Series amplifiers and the unique features of QRx Series loudspeakers and subs, the following are but a few of the various system configurations possible: stage monitor systems, stage systems for professional musicians, mobile DJ systems, club/disco wide angle systems and L-C-R theater systems.
