Eliminator ii
™
Two-way High-output
Stage System
General Product Description
The Electro-Voice
®
Eliminator ii
™
is a high-peak output, high-
efficiency two-way stage system. The dual 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 the most difficult
acoustic environments.
The Eliminator ii
™
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
grille and highly stylized corner protection.
The heart of the Eliminator ii
™
‘s high performance design is the
combination of a high-excursion low-frequency suspension system
with Electro-Voice’s 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 Eliminator ii
™
uses RMD
to control several fundamental ringing modes. The result is
substantially improved vocal range intelligibility and system
“openness”.
Two 15 inch drivers provide very high output at the lower frequencies.
When extended high output low-frequency operation is required,
performance can be further enhanced by biamping the Eliminator
ii
™
with the Eliminator i
™
Sub. Vented enclosures offer excellent power
handling and low distortion in the lowest octave of rate operation.
However, it is always advisable to filter material below enclosure
tuning to further improve system output and headroom. The
Eliminator ii
™
should be high-pass filtered to reduce subsonic
material below 40 Hz.
Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications
The loudspeaker system shall consist of two 38.1-cm (15 inch)
low-frequency tranducers in a vented enclosure. The high-frequency
section shall be a compression driver with a pure titanium diaphragm
coupled to a 1-inch throat diameter to a constant-directivity horn
having a horizontal included angle (referenced to –6 dB) of 60° and
a vertical included angle of 40° nominal. The loudspeaker shall
have a rated frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 Hz ± 3 dB and a
long-term rated average power handling of 600 watts (EIA RS-426-
A). The system sensitivity shall be 100 dB when measured in an
anechoic environment with a 1-watt input with a calibrated
measurement microphone located 1 meter from the system axis.
The nominal impedance shall be 4 ohms. The system shall have
parallel Neutrik
®
NL4MP connectors.
