For “No Sound” on the ELECTRO-VOICE EVID-S5.2XW, check the following:

Amplifier: Connect a known working test speaker to the amplifier outputs. If there is no sound, ensure all electronics are on, signal routing is correct, the source is active, and the volume is turned up. If there is sound, the issue is in the wiring.

Wiring: Verify that the correct wire pairs are connected to the amplifier. If a test speaker connected in parallel is quiet or sound is very weak, the line has a short. If the sound level is normal, the wire is open. Test along the line until the issue is found and corrected, ensuring proper polarity.

Subwoofer Input Panel: Verify that inputs and outputs are connected to the correct wires. If the panel is incorrectly wired, there will be little or no sound.

To fix poor low-frequency response on the ELECTRO-VOICE EVID-S5.2XW:

Speakers Wired Out-of-Polarity: If two speakers are connected out of phase, low frequencies will cancel acoustically. Check the wire markings or tracers. Verify the amplifier (+) terminal is connected to the red speaker terminals and the amplifier (-) terminal is connected to the black speaker terminals.

Improperly Wired Subwoofer Panel: Verify that all amplifier and speaker wires are connected to their proper terminals with the correct polarity. Reversing one set of amplifier wires can cut out all bass output.

Check all connections at the amplifier and the ELECTRO-VOICE EVID-S5.2XW to ensure they are clean and tight. If the problem persists, it may be in the amplifier or wiring.

If noise is present on the ELECTRO-VOICE EVID-S5.2XW without program material playing:

Defective Amplifier or other Electronic Device: Evaluate each component in the signal chain to isolate the problem.

Poor System Grounding or Ground Loop: Check and correct the system grounding as required.

For 70V: 60 W, 30 W, 15 W, 8 W, 8 Ω.

For 100V: 60 W, 30 W, 16 W, 8 Ω.

The U-Bracket for the ELECTRO-VOICE EVID-S5.2XW can be installed using:
