Description

Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice loudspeaker system. Please take time to consult the
manual to understand all the features built into your EV system and fully utilize its
performance capabilities.
MFX Multi-Function Monitors MFX-12MC and MFX-15MC are passive 12” and 15” coaxial
monitors with a performance level engineered to complement EV’s flagship X-Line Advance
(XLA) line array series.
MFX Multi-Function Monitors utilize high-output coaxially aligned HF and LF transducers and
an innovative, Electro-Voice engineered Constant Directivity waveguide. The dimensions and
location of the waveguide interact with the woofer to effectively create a bipole output,
resulting in precise coverage control through the midrange to the upper frequencies. In
addition to providing a stable sound image as the performer moves off-axis, the compact
coaxial design presents a significantly lower-profile footprint on stage in comparison to
competitive high-end monitors, helping to maintain audience sight lines and reducing stage
clutter. Dual monitor angles allow the enclosure to be precisely directed toward the
performer, while the rugged EVcoat finish and 1.5 mm-thick corrosion-resistant grille combine
professional-grade durability with sleek aesthetics.
These two high-performance stage monitors have a truly multi-functional design. They feature
pole sockets recessed into the side handles for use as short-throw reinforcement in portable
applications. U brackets, yokes, truss clamps, stand-mount adapters, and a rigging bar round
out a full range of mounting accessories for temporary or permanent installation.
In addition to their primary use as stage monitors, these models are also excellent solutions as
side fill, front fill, and delay speakers, as distributed speakers for events, or as the main
speakers for smaller jobs. Target applications include live performance, large corporate
events, worship services and concerts. The multi-functional aspect of the speakers makes
them an attractive investment for production, rental, and live sound companies because the
speakers can be deployed in multiple system roles, keeping more of the rental inventory
working rather than sitting in the warehouse until an appropriate job is booked.
The monitors can be used in passive or biamp configuration. Multiple DSP settings optimize
the speakers for specific uses. The recommended amplifiers for the MFX Multi-Function
Monitors are the TGX and IPX series from EV’s sibling brand, Dynacord.
