The Product
The Electro-Voice SX80BE is a compact, two way, high efficiency, constant-directivity speaker system for sound reinforcement and monitoring applications. The small size, high sensitivity and high power handling capacity of the SX80 make it an excellent choice for use in studios, clubs, bars and theatres. Through extensive use of computer aided design and modelling, EV engineers have developed a state of the art professional loudspeaker system. The high-frequency section utilizes a molded 90° x 65° constant directivity horn. This unique pattern contributes to high intelligibility and aims the speakers output where it is most useful. Vocals sound natural yet 'cut through' in reverberant and noisy rooms. Additionally the coverage pattern is unusually uniform over its range of operation.
Priced and packed singularly.
The Manufacturer
Electro-Voice had very humble beginnings when in September 1927, Lou Burroughs and Al Kahn began a small business servicing radio receivers in South Bend, Indiana. As a consequence of the Great Depression, they soon found themselves insolvent owing $5,000. This provided enough of an incentive for them to move their business in the direction of audio products, and in June 1930, they incorporated their business under the name Electro-Voice. At the time both Burroughs and Kahn felt that microphone designs around were of poor quality and over priced so they purchased a lathe and a drill and started producing about one microphone a week. Not long after Burroughs left the business, leaving complete ownership to Kahn. By 1933, the previous business debts were completely paid off and Electro-Voice began hiring employees to help in the production of the new designs. In 1936, twenty people were hired and Lou Burroughs returned as chief engineer.
Throughout the 40s, 50's and 60's Electro-Voice continued to grow and innovate producing a variety of products such as phonograph pickup cartridges and the first automatic TV booster. Loudspeakers and microphones joined their portfolio and with the brand gaining popularity and respect in the music industry Electro-Voice was established as a household name. In 1998 EV merged with equipment manufacturer Telex Communications, then in June 2006, EV, along with all of Telex Communications, became part of Bosch Security Systems division. Today EV is highly respected and continues to manufacture widely used broadcast microphones as well as loudspeakers and various other professional audio equipment.
