Know before you buy
Quick answers about the EVID-C8.2-G2, and how it compares.
Where does the EVID-C8.2-G2 fit?
The premium full-range model: 8" coaxial, 60 Hz to 20 kHz, taps up to 60 W. Choose it over EVID-EC6.2 when music matters or the ceiling is higher (narrower 90° coverage). Add EVID-C8.1S-G2 for bass, with a 50 Hz high-pass on the C8.2-G2.
How is it powered on a 70 V or 100 V line?
Taps 60, 30, 15 and 7.5 W, plus 3.75 W on 70 V, or 8 ohm, set by a switch on the front baffle.
How is it installed?
SwiftLock with tile rails and C-rings, ceilings 0.5 to 1.5 in thick, cutout 10.7 in (272 mm): the same as the EVID-EC6.2, so an EC6.2 can be upgraded without recutting.
What's in the box?
Each pair ships with 2 ceiling loudspeakers, 2 magnetic grilles, 4 ceiling tile rails, 2 C-rings, 4 screws, a cutout template, 2 paint covers and a quick installation guide.
Which EVID ceiling speaker for an office, school, restaurant or Masjid?
- Offices, meeting rooms, classrooms, corridors: EVID-EC4.2, 130° coverage for clear speech and background music.
- Small rooms and washrooms: EVID-EC3.1, IP45 and only 93 mm deep.
- Restaurants, shops and Masjid prayer halls, where music or the khutbah must be clear across a large floor: EVID-EC6.2.
- Premium music, higher ceilings: EVID-C8.2-G2, plus EVID-C8.1S-G2 for bass.
- Open or very high ceilings: the EVID-P6.2B pendant.
- Outdoor seating: EVID-S5.2TB or, fully exposed, EVID-S5.2XB.
