Yep, we are recommending ElectroVoice products for Home Theater. Why not? After all, EV has been supplying the commercial theater industry with THX-certified equipment for decades. Further, with models offering output of up to 3200 watts, EV amplifiers can drive circles around the "snobby" esoteric brands while costing thousands, even tens-of-thousands, less. As enthusiasts continue to strive for the best sound, an awareness has developed that only professional power amplifiers can deliver the sonic excitement needed to truly experience a movie. Another good reason consumers are trending this way is because pro amps cost far less, and perform equal to or better, than their high-end, exorbitantly-priced counterparts. No fluff. No fancy lights. Simple. Powerful. Affordable. Rock-solid reliable. Below is a selection of EV amplifiers used in theaters around the world, or click on the Cinema header above to find out more about EV products for the professional cinema market.
CPS 2.12-MKII Unleash the Beast
1800 x 2 maximum stereo output (maximum bridged output 3600 watts @ 4 ohms/2400 @ 8 ohms).
Continuous output @ 8 ohms 550 x 2 (full-bandwidth rated). 10Hz-40kHz overall frequency response.
Exclusive nonlinear signal monitor limits distortion, when present, thus eliminating "hard edged" clipping that can destroy a speaker system.
Highly efficient Class-H amplifier design maximizes performance while operating at a low temperature and taking up less space.
Onboard switchable 50Hz high-pass filter or optional signal processing modules for specific cinema applications.
CPS 4.10 Multi-Channel Horsepower
1000 x 4 maximum continuous output (maximum bridged output 2000 x 2 @ 8 or 4 ohms).
Continuous output into 8 ohms 450 x 4 (full-bandwidth rated). 15Hz-30kHz overall frequency response.
Exclusive nonlinear signal monitor (same as all CPS Series amps).
Groundbreaking Class-D amplifier maximizes performance and efficiency while operating at a low temperature and taking up less space than traditional multi-channel amplifiers.
Onboard switchable 50Hz high-pass filter.
CPS 8.5 Power and Flexibility
500 x 8 maximum output power (maximum bridged output 1000 x 4 @ 8 or 4 ohms).
Continuous output at 8 ohms 225 x 8 (full-bandwidth rated). 15Hz-30kHz overall frequency response.
Shares all the same features and amplifier design as the CPS 4.10 but in an 8-channel package.
