Electro-Voice EVID-EC3.1 3-Inch Coaxial Ceiling Speaker, Pair

The Electro-Voice EVID-EC3.1 is a compact 3-inch ceiling speaker built for locations where space is tight but sound quality cannot be compromised. It works perfectly for background music, paging, and speech in offices, cafés, reception areas, or retail spaces. With its bezel-less grille and low-profile design, it blends seamlessly into drop ceilings.

This speaker includes transformer taps for both 70 V and 100 V lines, along with an 8-ohm bump-in bypass option, giving installers flexibility in system design. The wattage tap is accessible from the front baffle, enabling quick adjustments on site. With corrosion resistant enclosure and safety certifications, it’s designed for reliable performance in a wide array of indoor environments.

The EVID-EC3.1 stands out for its wide 135° conical coverage, allowing sound to disperse broadly. Though it’s one of the smaller units in the EVID-EC series, it maintains surprising power handling for its size, and its high-quality sound reproduction in vocal ranges makes speech intelligible even at low volumes.
