Cinema Systems
Cinema. In a medium generally thought of as visual, the
quality of a cinema´s sound system is often what determines
the “cinema experience” for the paying customer. For years
Electro-Voice
®
has supplied loudspeaker systems to the cine-
ma industry which meet or exceed standards set by THX
®
and Dolby
®
Laboratories. Every summer, with the release of
the latest blockbuster action film, new benchmarks for
acoustic performance are set, and EV continues to meet
these demands with new innovations.
At Electro-Voice we offer the engineering knowledge and
expertise to design and manufacture products “from the
ground up.” EV loudspeakers are conceived at the compo-
nent level and integrated into high-performance screen
channel, surround and subwoofer systems. We are commit-
ted to developing new technologies and achieving new
levels of performance for cinema loudspeaker systems.
Variplex II™ Systems
The Variplex™ is one example of the many EV systems
which ar
e THX
®
appr
oved. They join the large, diverse fami-
ly of Electro-Voice cinema products developed for cinemas
both large and small. This wide range of products and time-
proven acoustic excellence means that you can design
systems that “fit” any r
oom, and more importantly, that the
“cinema experience” will be the best your customers have
ever heard. And take note: The THX
®
-approved, high-quality
CPS Series amplifiers are part of this formula for success.
