The Electro-Voice Eliminator is a high-peak output, high-efficiency 2-way stage system. The 15 in. low-frequency/horn-loaded constant-directivity high frequency system incorporates elements of Ring-Mode Decoupling (RMD). RMD techniques substantially improve vocal fundamental intelligibility and produce an up front tonality capable of cutting through even difficult acoustic environments.

The Eliminator enclosure has a unique design that presents a very minimal frontal cross section while still maintaining substantial internal volume. A newly developed handle concept allows for extremely comfortable transportation from any orientation. The design is lightweight, but very rugged and features a heavy metal grill and highly stylized corner protection.

The heart of the Eliminators high performance design is the combination of a high-excursion low-frequency suspension system with Electro-Voices unique Ring-Mode Decoupling. All loudspeaker drivers exhibit mechanical resonance modes that add their own time-domain or ringing-mode colorations. These colorations limit and reduce overall system intelligibility. The Eliminators use of RMD will control several fundamental mechanical ringing modes. The result is substantially improved vocal range intelligibility and system openness. When extended low-frequency operation is required, the performance can be further enhanced with the use of the Eliminator Sub. System operation can either be in bi-amp mode or full-range passive mode because of… read more the high-pass filtered output in the Eliminator Sub. Vented enclosures offer excellent power handling and low distortion in the lowest octave of rated operation. It is always advisable however to filter material below enclosure tuning to further improve system output and headroom. The eliminator should be high-pass filtered to reduce sub sonic material below 40 Hz.

Electro-Voice components and systems are manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring they will hold up, not only through the most rigorous of power tests, but also through continued use in arduous, real-life conditions. The EIA Loudspeaker Power Rating Full Range (ANSI/EIA RS-426-A 1980) uses a noise spectrum that mimics typical music and tests the thermal and mechanical capabilities of the components. Electro-Voice will support relevant additional standards as and when they become available. read less
