Electro-Voice Phoenix - Manual (Page 6)

Electro-Voice® Manifold Technology
Unique to all Phoenix high-mid systems and monitors is patented Electro-Voice
Manifold Technology. Borrowing from the innovations of the original MT series, yet
employing the most advanced Electro-Voice technology, Phoenix manifolds boast
major advantages over single compression driver designs. More drivers means
higher power handling capacity and more SPL per horn, allowing the use of less
overall cabinets for the same output. Dual drivers offer the benefit of tremendous
headroom in the mid and high frequencies letting you confidently push that vocal
up and over the top of a dense mix or high stage volumes. Additionally, dual driv-
ers don’t have to work as hard as a single driver which results in less heat build
up in each driver and provides reliable roadworthy longevity. In the rare event one
driver fails, the integral redundancy of a dual driver system offers peace of mind
that the show will go on.
