The 4.2’s design prioritizes practical installation alongside performance. The surface-mount mounting option allows quick, secure installation in a variety of spaces, from dining rooms where speech intelligibility is critical to entertainment areas where music fills the room without overpowering conversation. The combination of an 8" woofer and a 1" neodymium-driven tweeter provides a broad, smooth frequency range that translates to clear voice reproduction during presentations, as well as a rich musical experience when background tracks or live events fill the venue. The 65 Hz lower limit means you’ll feel the bass punch in larger rooms without needing oversized cabinets or subwoofers, while the 20 kHz ceiling ensures the airiness and sparkle of high-frequency content remains crisp and present.

How to install Electro-Voice 4.2 2-Way Surface Mount Speaker

  • Plan the layout: Assess the venue layout to determine optimal coverage. Aim for even sound distribution across seating areas, minimizing dead zones and interference from furnishings or architectural features.
  • Prepare mounting hardware: Use only appropriate mounting brackets and fasteners rated to support the speaker’s weight and intended orientation. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and capable of sustaining the load.
  • Route the wiring: Run speaker cable from the mixer/amplifier to the mounting location. Use appropriate gauge wire for the distance and impedance (8 Ohm). Maintain correct polarity to ensure proper speaker phasing and predictable coverage.
  • Attach the enclosure: Secure the surface-mount bracket to the wall or ceiling. Attach the Electro-Voice 4.2 to the bracket, then adjust the tilt and direction to achieve the desired coverage pattern for speech and music clarity.
  • Test and finalize: Power on with a low-output signal, listen for balance and intelligibility, and then make fine adjustments to position, tilt, and wiring. Finish by tidying cables and confirming all fasteners are tight and secure.
