Electro-Voice Introduces Sx100+ Portable
Speaker System
 July 23, 1999
Electro-Voice introduces the Sx100+ 200-watt two-way portable speaker
system at the Summer NAMM Convention. The advanced design of the Sx100+
system combines superior speaker performance with a rugged, molded polypropylene
structural foam cabinet, yielding a portable, easy-to-mount system with
great sound.
"The Sx100+ is yet another EV product which includes EV's innovative
Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD™), and this makes a very big difference
in performance," says Mike Torlone, director of music products marketing
for Electro-Voice. "With all this technology, the Sx100+ boasts an
ultra-affordable list price of just $5 18."
The Sxl00+ is a two-way lightweight speaker design incorporating a 12-inch
woofer and one-inch exit compression driver with integral horn, yielding
an axial frequency response of 80 to 25,000 Hz. Long term power handling
is rated at 200 watts with a maximum woofer acoustic output of 7.8 watts
and a system sensitivity of 99.5dB for one watt/one meter. The high-impact
polypropylene structural-foam cabinet uses EV's exclusive Ring-Mode Decoupling
(RMD) that eliminates ring mode vibrations to yield excellent clarity
and sonic reproduction accuracy.
Input connections are made via two paralleled 1/4-inch phone jacks, which
allows paralleling of multiple speakers. Impedance levels are 8 ohms nominal,
5.6 ohms minimum. The compact Sx100+ is only 586 min (23.1-inches) H x
429 mm (16.9-inches) W x 312 min (12.3-inches) D. Net weight of the unit
is 14.5 kg (32 lb). The system comes in both black and white colors (Sx100+
and Sx100+W, respectively).
Other products available for enhancing the Sx100+ system's performance
include the Xp200A system controller, Sb121 nonpowered bass module, Sb121a
400-watt powered bass module and a wide range of mounting kit accessories
including compatibility with OmniMount® Series 100 mounting hardware
(available through OmniMount Systems, Inc.).
