Stronger than ever as the company completes their first year under
Bosch ownership as part of the Bosch Communications Systems family of brands,
EV is focused on an exciting future, building upon their unique legacy as a pro
audio pioneeFrom 1927, when company
founders Al Kahn and Lou Burroughs began servicing radio receivers in the
basement of Century Tire and Rubber in South Bend, Indiana, EV has held its own
as an audio innovator. Though they're always looking and listening forward to
their next achievement, this year the company is proud to look back over eight
decades in which they have consistently set new industry standards for sonic
excellence and reliability in microphone, loudspeaker and audio electronics
design and manufacturing. EV raised the bar with breakthrough technologies,
designs and products like Variable-D® microphones, the hum-bucking
coil, home high-fidelity loudspeaker components, constant-directivity horns,
noise-canceling microphones, pro-sound loudspeakers with Ring-Mode Decoupling
(RMD™) and Manifold Technology® for concert-sound loudspeaker
systems. From day one, EV has been all about helping customers sound the best
they possibly can.
In 2007, Electro-Voice
celebrates 80 years of unmatched innovation in microphone design and
manufacturing. From day one, Electro-Voice has made sure that all its
microphones are bulletproof and sound beautiful. It’s not unusual to see
classic Electro-Voice microphones like the 635A, the broadcast industry
standard fondly known as the “Buchanan Hammer” (named after Electro-Voice’s
former home in Michigan), still going strong after 30 years.
Eight decades on,
Electro-Voice microphones continue to deliver the sound of history’s most
significant events. They've helped the world hear everything from the very
first radio broadcasts to John Glenn’s first orbit of the Earth, from Elvis and
the Beatles to world tours with today’s biggest artists, from Knut Rockne using
his “Electric Voice” at Notre Dame to the state-of-the-art mics at this year’s
Super Bowl, from Presidential inaugurations to tonight’s evening news, from Dr.
Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech to the Next Big Thing rehearsing
in the garage next door, and so on.
Electro-Voice stays
true to its roots as a great American brand while advancing to new heights in
the 21st Century. They were the first to offer N/DYM™ neodymium technology in
microphones, and the first to offer ClearScan™ for quick, automatic wireless
microphone channel coordination. And that’s just the beginning: EV engineers
are constantly working on new ways to keep your tone intact.
Their latest and
greatest? REV™. Made in the USA to the industry’s highest standards, the new
REV intelligent wireless system places Electro-Voice in pole position, adding
its unique features to the company's hefty portfolio of patents and
award-winning wireless technologies. REV’s optimized audio path was developed
to provide the truest representation of a wired microphone or guitar sound
possible in a wireless system. Simply put, this is the most wired-sounding
wireless you’ve ever heard.
From sound check to
encore, Electro-Voice microphones offer great sound, durability, ergonomics and
style, whether you’re outfitting a world tour, a house of worship, a
professional studio or a neighborhood block party. They believe the equipment
you use should withstand both the rigors of performance and the scrutiny of
your listeners. At Electro-Voice, innovating new products to make you sound
your best is job number one. The name says it all.
