Electro-Voice EVID EVID 3.2 2-Way Outdoor Surface Mount Speaker - 75 W RMS - White

Engineered for dependable outdoor sound with a clean, understated profile, the Electro-Voice EVID EVID 3.2 is a compact 2-way surface-mount speaker designed to deliver clear, intelligible audio in patios, decks, courtyards, and outdoor venues. With a robust 75 W RMS power handling, 8 Ohm impedance, and a pair of precision drivers, this White enclosure blends seamlessly into exterior environments while providing punchy bass, crisp highs, and broad musical coverage. The 3.50" woofer handles midrange and low frequencies with authority, while a 0.75" titanium tweeter delivers detailed high-frequency response from 85 Hz to 20 kHz. Whether you’re setting up background music for a cafe terrace or speaking to an outdoor crowd, the EVID 3.2 is built to maximize playback efficiency and maintain strong intelligibility at modest listening levels across open spaces.

• 2-Way Outdoor Design – A purpose-built two-way system combines a dedicated woofer and a titanium tweeter, optimized with a crossover for smooth, balanced sound. This configuration ensures clear dialogue, natural music reproduction, and minimal distortion in outdoor environments where reflections and noise can challenge intelligibility. The EVID 3.2 is tuned to provide even coverage across a typical outdoor seating area, making it ideal for patios, decks, courtyards, poolside lounges, and small outdoor venues.
• High-Quality Drivers for Robust Output – The speaker features a 3.50" woofer paired with a 0.75" titanium tweeter. The woofer delivers solid mid-bass punch without overpowering the treble, while the lightweight titanium tweeter offers crisp, extended highs with minimal excursion. This driver combination produces a clean, coherent sound across the critical vocal and music range, ensuring voices stay intelligible and music remains engaging even at higher levels outdoors.
• Power Handling and Efficiency – With 75 W RMS continuous power handling and up to 300 W PMPO (peak momentary power), the EVID 3.2 provides ample headroom for outdoor listening scenarios. Its 8 Ohm impedance is compatible with a wide range of standard amplifiers and distribution systems, allowing you to optimize system performance without excessive amp stress. This balance of power and efficiency helps you achieve strong, even coverage without needing oversized amplifiers.
• Wide Frequency Response for Natural Sound – The speaker reproduces a broad 85 Hz to 20 kHz range, delivering warm bass, clear mids, and shimmering highs. Outdoors, where wind, ambient noise, and open space can mute playback, this frequency span helps preserve vocal clarity and musical detail, making conversations and music feel natural and inviting for listeners at varying distances from the speaker.
• Discreet, Durable Outdoor Design – The EVID 3.2 is built to withstand outdoor use while maintaining a sleek, low-profile look. Its white enclosure blends into most exterior décor and installations, while the rugged construction and weather-tolerant components are designed to handle daily outdoor exposure. Easy surface-mount installation allows flexible placement on walls, fences, or architectural features, enabling you to position speakers for optimal coverage without bulky enclosures or visible cables.

How to Install Electro-Voice EVID EVID 3.2

• Plan placement: Choose a mounting surface that provides stable support and unobstructed sound path. Aim for even coverage across the listening area and avoid mounting directly behind large objects that could reflect or block sound.
• Mounting and brackets: Attach the surface-mount bracket or enclosure securely to the chosen surface using appropriate outdoor-rated fasteners. Ensure the mount is tight to prevent vibration or misalignment during operation.
• Wiring preparation: Use outdoor-rated speaker cable and route it from your amplifier or distribution point to the EVID 3.2. Maintain correct polarity (+ to +, – to –) to preserve phase alignment with other speakers in a multi-speaker setup.
• Make connections: Connect the speaker wires to the terminal or binding posts on the back of the unit. Use weatherproof gaskets or enclosures if provided, and seal connections to prevent moisture ingress.
• Final checks and test: Power on with a low volume and gradually increase. Check for balanced tone across the listening area, verify that both high and low frequencies are clean, and adjust placement or angle if required to minimize reflections and maximize intelligibility.

Frequently asked questions

• Is the Electro-Voice EVID EVID 3.2 weather-resistant or suitable for outdoor installation? Yes. The EVID 3.2 is designed for outdoor use with a surface-mount enclosure that withstands typical exterior environments. Always ensure connections are weather-sealed and cables are protected from direct exposure to the elements.
• What amplifier power is recommended for this speaker? With 75 W RMS continuous handling and an 8 Ohm impedance, the EVID 3.2 pairs well with a wide range of amplifiers. Use an amplifier that can deliver clean power within the speaker’s range, and avoid driving the speaker with excessive distortion or clipping for best performance and longevity.
• Can I use multiple EVID 3.2 speakers together? Yes. For larger outdoor areas, you can deploy multiple EVID 3.2 speakers and connect them in parallel as long as the total impedance remains within your amplifier’s capabilities. Plan placement to achieve even sound coverage and minimal phase issues across the listening area.
• What are the main benefits of a 2-way design on this outdoor speaker? The 2-way configuration provides a clearer separation between mid/low frequencies and high-frequency response, resulting in more intelligible voices and crisper music. Outdoor environments can harshly affect sound clarity, and a dedicated tweeter helps preserve detail and reduce muffling from ambient noise.
• Is installation difficult or require professional help? The EVID 3.2 is designed for straightforward surface-mount installation suitable for DIY projects. Basic electrical wiring and outdoor installation practices are enough for most users, but consult a professional if your configuration includes complex runs, long cable lengths, or compliance with local codes.
