History: The Electro-Voice S-200 was a portable, passive speaker system designed in the 1990s for high-quality sound reinforcement in various venues, featuring a lightweight, high-strength plastic cabinet, 300W power handling, a 12-inch woofer, and a 2-inch compression driver for mid and high frequencies. These speakers are well known for durability, clarity, and flexibility as a wedge monitor, pole-mounted speaker. Combined with the System 200 Equalizer (included) which extends the S200 System bass response by nearly one octave, increases system efficiency to deliver full-bandwidth reproduction.
Key Features of the S-200
Construction: Utilized a revolutionary one-piece, dual-layer sandwich plastic enclosure for superior durability and rigidity.
Performance: Delivered over 120 dB SPL at 1 meter with high sensitivity and power handling of 300 watts long-term average.
Components: Featured a 12-inch woofer for low-to-mid frequencies and a 2-inch compression driver for high frequencies.
Crossover: Incorporated an internal, conservative 12 dB/octave crossover network with a crossover point of 2,000 Hz.
Versatility: Designed for various applications, including stage monitoring and pole mounting.
Connectors: Two 1/4-inch jack inputs
EQ Switch: Rear mounted switch to enable internal crossover for the System 200 Eq.
Dimensions: 24"H x 15"W x 9"D
Design and Usage
Full-Range Potential: While the S-200 excels in mid and high frequencies, it was designed to be used with a separate subwoofer or crossover to handle the lowest bass frequencies, which could cause vibration in the S-200 itself at high volumes.
Portability: The plastic enclosure made it lightweight and easier to transport compared to traditional wooden cabinets.
Sound Quality: The system was praised for its clarity, high output, and high-fidelity performance, characteristic of EV quality.
The EV S-200 Equalizer is a small, two-channel active equalization device designed to enhance the performance of the EV S-200 Stage Speakers. The EQ extends the speaker's bass response by nearly one octave and increases overall efficiency 4dB!
Key features
Active device: Two-channel active powered EQ inserted into the signal path between the mixer and the power amplifier input.
System-specific: It is not a standalone graphic EQ. It is a specialized EQ made for the EV S-200 Stage System
Activation: A switch on the back of the S-200 speaker activates the active EQ mode
Extended bass response: With the EQ the frequency response of the S-200 speaker is extended from 90 Hz down to 50 Hz!
Noise and distortion: low noise (-90 dBu) and THD (less than 0.01%), ensuring minimal impact on the overall audio quality.
High-pass filter: The EQ features a sharp cutoff filter below 50 Hz to attenuate subsonic noise to conserve amplifier power and protects the speaker from excessive cone excursion.
Connectivity: Standard 1/4-inch phone jacks for input and output connections and can drive multiple power amplifiers in parallel.
Dimensions: 1RU - 19" x 1.75" Rack Mounting
